Ultrasound diagnosis (ultrasound)

Ultrasound of the pleural cavities

Pleural effusion is hypoechoic or mild echogenicity, sometimes thick septa are defined. Liquid blood and pus are also anechogenous, but septums can give reflections. It is not always possible to differentiate the fluid and solid formations of the pleura or peripheral parts of the lungs. Turn the patient to different positions and repeat the test.

Pericardial ultrasound

The fluid around the heart is visualized as an anechoic band around the heart muscle. (Anechoic fat located in front can simulate fluid.) If there is a small amount of fluid, the shape of the strip may vary depending on the phase of the heart cycle.

Ultrasound of the neck

Indications for ultrasound of the neck: Palpable formation in the neck. Pathology of carotid arteries (gross noise, symptoms of insufficiency). At the same time it is necessary to conduct a dopplerographic study to establish an accurate diagnosis.

Ultrasound of the hip joints in newborns

Certain skills and abilities are needed for performing ultrasound examinations of the hip joints of newborns in order to exclude congenital hip dislocations.

Neurosonography

Neurosonography, an ultrasound diagnostics section that studies brain in newborns, is now an integral part of traditional neonatology and perinatal neurology, without which no examination of a child neurologist and / or neonatologist can do.

Ultrasound of the newborn

Indications for ultrasound of a newborn: Suspicion for the presence of abnormalities: Organs of the abdominal cavity. Heads.

Ultrasound of the placenta

The study of the placenta is a very important part of every obstetric ultrasound. The condition of the placenta largely depends on the condition of the fetus, its growth and development; The condition of the placenta can be accurately and accurately assessed by echography. The exact location of the placenta is determined in relation to the fetus and to the axis of the cervix. The structure of the placenta and the utero-placental connection can also be evaluated.

Diagnosis of early pregnancy

Visualization of the fetal egg is the first sign of pregnancy. Most often, the fetal egg is detected after 5 weeks of amenorrhea and is more often asymmetrically located in the uterine cavity.

Ultrasound during pregnancy

Ultrasonic diagnosis in obstetrics has been in use for about 30 years. Although it is believed that ultrasound is almost harmless, nevertheless, studies are still being conducted to confirm this situation.

Ultrasound signs of uterine pathology in non-pregnant women

Myoma can be visualized differently by ultrasound. Most of them are defined as multiple, with clear contours, homogeneous gipoehogenic structure, nodal formations, subserous, submucous or interstitial. Old fibroids become hyperechoic, some of them acquire a mixed echogenicity as a result of central necrosis.
