Ultrasound diagnosis (ultrasound)

Ultrasound of the lymph nodes of the neck

The lymph nodes of the neck are superficially placed, so they can be visualized using a high-frequency (5-10 MHz) linear sensor. The accessibility of the lymph nodes of the neck to a detailed examination broadens the range of diagnostic criteria as compared to ultrasound examination of the lymph nodes of the abdominal cavity.

Dopplerography of cerebral vessels

The main goal of the study of cerebral vessels with the use of color duplex sonography is to determine and quantify the degree of stenosis caused by atherosclerotic changes in patients with complaints and transient ischemic attack or stroke in the anamnesis. The study should establish the degree of stenosis and the extent of the affected segment of the vessel.

Malignant tumors of the mammary gland

If you suspect a malignant process, the ultrasound of the mammary glands allows you to estimate the location, quantity, size, shape, echostructure, contours, additional acoustic effects, the condition of the ducts and surrounding tissues, including skin changes, and the presence and nature of vascularization.

Ultrasound of the mammary glands

The most common method of examining the mammary glands all over the world is X-ray mammography. In our country, x-ray mammography is still the leading diagnostic method, although in other countries it is successfully used with ultrasound or ultrasound mammography (breast ultrasound).

Ultrasound of the penis

The ultrasound of the penis makes it possible to detect structural changes in the organ. Namely, spongy and cavernous bodies, shells. The investigation is carried out by an ultrasonic sensor with a frequency of at least 7 MPa in transverse and longitudinal sections.

Ultrasound of the prostate

Ultrasound of the prostate (prostate gland) allows you to get an idea of its size, shape, structure, as well as the peculiarities of its relationship with other pelvic organs.

Ultrasound of the ankle

It should be noted that with the advent of new broadband and high-frequency sensors, the informative value of ultrasonic examination of tendons and ligaments of the ankle joint has increased significantly and the ultrasound method today has an advantage over MRI.

Ultrasound of the knee joint

Today, the diagnostic capabilities of ultrasound (ultrasound) of the knee joint are being revised. Despite the fact that ultrasound techniques in the study of the knee joint can not completely replace such highly informative techniques as MRI and standard X-ray examination, nevertheless, the ultrasound method has its definite advantages.

Ultrasound of hip joints in adults

Ultrasound of the hip joints may be an additional method for clinical or X-ray examinations. It should be noted that ultrasound is superior in informative MRI in detecting small effusions in the hip joint, even less than 1 ml.

Ultrasound of the wrist and joints of the hand

The ultrasonic method (US) has a number of advantages over magnetic resonance imaging in the study of soft tissues of wrist joints and hand joints. There are several points that emphasize these advantages. First, it is the convenience of carrying out ultrasound and the ability to quickly compare the symmetrical departments.
