Any area of tissue with increased density for ultrasound waves is a hyperechoic formation. Consider the causes of this phenomenon, types, methods of diagnosis and treatment.
The ultrasound of the scrotum organs starts in the position of the patient on the back with an ultrasonic sensor with a frequency of at least 7 MHz. If it is necessary to visualize the enlarged veins of the lobar plexus, the study is also performed in the patient standing position.
Ultrasound of the cervix is a method that is one of the most informative methods that allow us to identify the main causes of the pathology development not only of the female genital organs but also of the pelvic organs.
Ultrasonic dopplerography of the vessels of the prostate gland is an effective tool for non-invasive evaluation of blood flow in the prostate. To assess blood flow in the prostate gland, as a rule, color speed and energy Doppler.
The method of elastometry of the liver makes it possible to assess the presence of fibrosis by generating vibrational pulses and, judging by the results of computer analysis, to judge the changes in the elastic properties and rates of progression of fibrosis.
Ultrasound is one of the most accessible diagnostic methods in medicine. In urology, ultrasound is used to detect structural and functional changes in the urogenital organs.
In recent years, dopplerography has become one of the leading methods of research in obstetrics. The essence of the Doppler effect is as follows. Ultrasonic vibrations generated by piezoelements with a given frequency propagate in the object under study in the form of elastic waves.
