[Indications and limitations of ultrasonic investigation in abdominal pathology].

Abstract:

:Investigation of the abdomen by ultrasounds must now be included among routine tools in abdominal diseases. All abdominal organs, with the exception of the intestine with its gas content, are open to investigation with this technique which combines harmlessness and rapidity with its unique possibility of making differential diagnosis possible in structures with different tissue constitution. The limitations are to be sought more in the examiner's interpretational capacities and in the apparatu's limited resolution power rather than in the technique proper.

    abstract::During the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis, the radiologist is often asked the following questions: 1) is it really TB?; 2) is there any improvement?; 3) when is the X-ray check-up required?. In our opinion, the radiologist is in a position: 1) to confirm the diagnosis of TB; 2) to give a radiological diagnosis of...
