Ultrasound echography

Ultrasound echography is a medical diagnostic method based on the use of ultrasonic waves to obtain images of internal organs and tissues. This method is widely used in medicine as it is safe, painless and non-invasive.

The operating principle of ultrasound echography is based on the fact that ultrasonic waves generated by a special sensor are reflected from the internal structures of the body and recorded on the monitor screen. The resulting images allow doctors to obtain information about the size, shape, structure and location of organs and tissues, as well as the presence of pathological changes.

Ultrasound echography is widely used in various fields of medicine, such as gynecology, urology, cardiology, neurology and others. It allows you to diagnose various diseases, such as tumors, cysts, kidney and gallstones, as well as assess the condition of the cardiovascular system.

One of the main advantages of ultrasound echography is its high accuracy and sensitivity, which makes it possible to detect even minor changes in organs and tissues. In addition, this method can be used to monitor the progress of treatment and evaluate the effectiveness of therapy.

However, like any other medical diagnostic method, ultrasound echography has its limitations. For example, it may not be effective when examining deep organs and tissues or in the presence of metal implants. It is also necessary to take into account that the results of ultrasound echography can only be interpreted by a doctor.

In general, ultrasound echography is an important tool in a doctor’s arsenal and allows one to obtain important information about the condition of the body. Due to its safety, accuracy and accessibility, this diagnostic method is widely used in medical practice and continues to develop and improve.

Echography is a research method based on the ability of ultrasonic waves to be reflected from the boundaries of media with different properties and recorded by special sensors (transducers). The study is based on the use of the properties of elastic vibrations of inhomogeneous media of different densities. This method examines almost all body systems. However, the method is best suited for studying abdominal organs.

Indications for echography:

• diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and liver (gallbladder); • urolithiasis disease; • the presence of inflammatory processes in the urinary system; • heart problems; cochlear bones and bone thickenings are one of the diagnostic criteria for Davidenkov's disease or Marfan syndrome; detection of tumors; determination of the condition of veins, arteries, abdominal cavity and its contents and other tissues and organs. The essence of the method: With the help of ultrasound, echo radiation is reflected, transmitted to transducers with a given number of beams and ends up on the screen. The resulting image is processed and then displayed on the monitor. As a result, the researcher receives an image indicating the location of the foreign body, as well as the approximate dimensions of the organ being examined. In this case, a saline solution with a diuretic is used as a contrast agent. To expand the contrasting structures of the organ, gaseous agents are used. The contrast produced by the organs is reflected on the monitor in the form of a characteristic line, the length of which is over a centimeter.
