| Popis: | This study is an evaluation of the usefulness of pulsed echo ultrasound as a diagnostic aid in diseases of the pelvis. The results of the use of this technique in 100 patients, with suspected gynecologic lesions, are presented. Ultrasound appears to be a valuable aid when used in conjunction with other diagnostic procedures. By this method it is possible to outline and define soft tissue pathology not easily detectable by x-ray, and it provides a cross-sectional presentation, thus giving information in a different dimension than is exhibited by other techniques. This procedure is particularly helpful in differentiating between solid and cystic tumors, benign and malignant disease, and free and encysted fluid in the abdominal eavity. |
