Ultrasound of head and neck structures are independent diagnostic procedures that allow to study the condition of organs located in this anatomical region. These include ultrasound scanning of the brain, the organ of vision, paranasal sinuses, thyroid and parathyroid glands, salivary glands. Each study has its own indications and areas of application, however, they all help to quickly and non-invasively (without interfering with the body) determine the presence of a pathological process, assess its severity and establish the correct diagnosis. Various types of ultrasound of the structures of the head and neck can be prescribed for headaches and dizziness, visual disturbances, pain and discomfort in the sinuses, tumor-like formations in the cervical region and for other indications.
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…
Ultrasound of the thyroid gland is a visualizing method of examination that reflects the location of the endocrine gland, its size, structure, anatomical features, the presence of diffuse and focal changes, the state of blood flow. It is used in the diagnosis of cysts, adenomas, malignant tumors, thyrotoxicosis, thyroiditis. Depending on the research tasks, a…
Ultrasound of the thymus gland is a non-invasive examination of the thymus using ultrasound waves. Allows you to get information about the size, shape, location and structure of the thymus gland. It is usually performed in childhood to detect thymomegaly. In older children, indications for scanning are frequent severe colds, unexplained subfebrility and allergic reactions.…
Ultrasound of the eye is a method of diagnosing ophthalmic diseases, visualizing the structure of the eye, the condition of the ocular nerves, muscles and vessels, the lens, the retina. It is used as part of a comprehensive diagnosis of myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, retinal dystrophy, cataract, glaucoma, eye tumors, injuries, vascular pathologies, neuritis. Several variants…
