ULTRASONIC METHOD FOR PRODUCING DIAGNOSIS OF REGIONAL LYMPH NODE METASTASIS INJURY

摘要

FIELD: medicine. ^ SUBSTANCE: method involves examining given zone of patient body with lymph nodes disposed there to determine their echogenicity degree. Longest node axis position is additionally determined in each lymph node. Ultrasonic apparatus transducer is placed in lymph node projection in perpendicular to the node axis and to patient body surface. The transducer is moved so that it becomes arranged in perpendicular to lymph node capsule in the node poles zone and to patient body surface. Rounded lesion foci of 1.7 mm diameter being detected, lymph node injury with metastasis is to be diagnosed. ^ EFFECT: high accuracy of early stage diagnosis. ^ 5 dwg
