Ultrasound diagnosis (ultrasound)

Newborn ultrasound

Indications for ultrasound examination of a newborn: Suspected presence of anomalies: Abdominal organs. Head.

Placental examination is a very important part of every obstetric ultrasound examination. The condition of the fetus, its growth and development largely depend on the condition of the placenta; 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 uteroplacental connection can also be assessed.

Diagnosis of early pregnancy

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

Ultrasound during pregnancy

Ultrasound diagnostics in obstetrics has been used for about 30 years. Although it is believed that ultrasound examination is practically harmless, nevertheless, studies are still being conducted to confirm this position.

Ultrasound signs of uterine abnormalities in non-pregnant women

Myomas may be visualized differently on ultrasound. Most of them are defined as multiple, well-defined, homogeneous hypoechoic nodular formations, subserous, submucous or interstitial. Old myomas become hyperechoic, some of them acquire mixed echogenicity as a result of central necrosis.

Pelvic ultrasound in non-pregnant women

Indications for pelvic ultrasound: Pelvic pain, including algomenorrhea (painful menstruation). Formations in the pelvis. Acyclic uterine bleeding.

Bladder ultrasound

Indications for bladder ultrasound: Dysuria or frequent urination. Hematuria (wait until the bleeding stops).

Preparation for ultrasound of kidneys and ureters

Preparation for ultrasound examination of the kidneys and ureters is aimed at creating optimal diagnostic conditions. Modern ultrasound equipment has a very high resolution and information capacity, however, the echogenicity of some areas, zones, organs and systems due to anatomical features is difficult without preliminary preparation.

Ultrasound of kidneys and ureters

Indications for ultrasound of the kidneys and ureters: pain in the kidneys or along the ureters, suspected renal tumor (large kidney), non-functioning kidney according to urography

Ultrasound signs of gastrointestinal pathology

If there is more fluid, the lateral recesses (the spaces between the parietal peritoneum and the colon) will be filled with fluid. As the amount of fluid increases, it will fill the entire abdominal cavity.
