Introduction: Ultrasonography is the most widely used test because, in addition to being non-invasive and low-cost, it has immediate results. Depending on the examiner, it can elucidate diagnostic doubts present during the physical examination of the outpatient patient or follow up on the evolution and post-operative diagnoses already elucidated. Objective: Identify the ultrasound epidemiological profile of care provided at the Medical Specialties Center of a private university in Belém during the second half of 2019. Methodology: Descriptive and cross-sectional study based on data collected at CESUPA's Medical Specialties Center, using 150 medical records using a form highlighting age, sex, quantity and type of examination performed during the consultation. Results: The majority of women in the age group of 50 to 69 years old stood out, with only 10 patients out of the total having undergone two consecutive exams, the most found topographies were total abdomen, thyroid, kidneys and urinary tract and breast, respectively. Of the 150 patients studied, only 31 did not present any imaging abnormalities, the other abnormal findings were mild hepatic steatosis, thyroid nodule and tendinopathy in ascending order. Conclusion: Although there is no difference between ultrasound findings both between ages and in relation to the sex of the patients analyzed by the study, it is noted the importance of the aid of complementary exams for the elucidation of diagnosis and monitoring of chronic diseases.
