What scientists have discovered In the summer of 2020, the results of a study were published on the website…
Gallbladder ultrasound helps to diagnose cholangitis, cholecystitis, dyskinesia of the gallbladder and biliary tract, gallstone disease, parasitic diseases, developmental abnormalities (agenesis, dysplasia, diverticula of the gallbladder, atresia of the bile ducts, etc.). During the study, the size of the organ, the thickness of its walls, the consistency of the contents, the architectonics of extrahepatic bile…
Stomach Ultrasound is prescribed, with specific indications. However, the main reason for such an ultrasound examination is any kind of discomfort in the upper part of the abdominal cavity. This kind of echography helps to determine pathologies in the digestive organs. Most often, such a diagnosis is enough at the first stage with a history…
Transesophageal echocardiography is a method of ultrasound examination of the heart using an endoscope with a transesophageal ultrasound sensor. Transesophageal EchoCG provides a clearer visualization of the structures of the heart than the transthoracic method, allowing reliable diagnosis of tumors and blood clots in the atria, the condition of valve prostheses, bacterial endocarditis, aortic anomalies,…
Ultrasound of the pleural cavity is a method of ultrasound echolocation of additional formations and effusion in the pleural cavity. It is used for the diagnosis of hydrothorax, subcostal and supraphragmatic obstructed pleurisy, empyema, adhesive process, tumor lesions of the pleura. The advantage of echography of the pleural cavity over X-ray examination is the possibility…
Ultrasound of the pericardium is a method of ultrasound imaging of the outer shell of the heart using special sensors. The study allows us to assess the pericardium, its thickness and the size of the pericardial bag, and also gives a general idea of the nature and volume of the available fluid. The technique is…
Echoencephalography (Echo-EG) is an ultrasound examination of brain tissues. The technique makes it possible to assess intracranial pressure, identify volumetric processes that cause displacement of brain structures, but does not make it possible to differentiate the detected pathological formations. It is usually used at the stage of primary diagnosis, preceded by other, more accurate methods…
Ultrasound biometry of the eye is a sonographic technique used to measure the size of the eyeball and its individual structures, to determine various remote parameters inside the eye. It is carried out, if necessary, to differentiate the false and true forms of eno- and exophthalmos, to exclude the swelling of the lens, to clarify…
Ultrasound of the parathyroid glands is a method of non-invasive examination based on the ability of tissues to reflect ultrasound waves with their subsequent fixation with special equipment. Allows you to evaluate their location, size, degree of development and internal structure of the parathyroid glands. The technique is used in the diagnosis of anomalies of…
Ultrasound of the paranasal sinuses is a non-invasive research method used in the diagnosis of inflammatory processes and volumetric formations of the maxillary and frontal sinuses. It is usually carried out in A-mode. The doctor installs the sensor in the projection of the sinus, after which he asks the patient to tilt his head in…
