The standard representation is brighter color for higher echogenicity, giving the almost anechoic fluid an almost black appearance. Echogenicity (sometimes as echogenecity) or echogeneity is the ability to bounce an echo, e.g. return the signal in medical ultrasound examinations. In other words, echogenicity is higher when the surface bouncing ...
Below are useful terms on ultrasound: [4] Echogenic – giving rise to reflections (echoes) of ultrasound waves; Hyperechoic – more echogenic (brighter) than normal; Hypoechoic – less echogenic (darker) than normal; Isoechoic – the same echogenicity as another tissue; Transvaginal ultrasonography – Ultrasound is performed through the vagina
Tumor characterization using the ultrasound method will be based on the following elements: consistency (solid, liquid, mixed), echogenicity, structure appearance (homogeneous or heterogeneous), delineation from adjacent liver parenchyma (capsular, imprecise), elasticity, posterior acoustic enhancement effect, the relation with neighboring ...
Medical ultrasound includes diagnostic techniques (mainly imaging techniques) using ultrasound, as well as therapeutic applications of ultrasound. In diagnosis, it is used to create an image of internal body structures such as tendons, muscles, joints, blood vessels, and internal organs, to measure some characteristics (e.g., distances and velocities) or to generate an informative audible sound.
The kidneys are easily examined, and most pathological changes in the kidneys are distinguishable with ultrasound. US is an accessible, versatile inexpensive and fast aid for decision-making in patients with renal symptoms and for guidance in renal intervention. [1] Renal ultrasound (US) is a common examination, which has been performed for ...
Upon first approach, Republic Airways Flight 4514 diverts from course, circles around, and lands during a second attempt at Reagan National Airport.
Isochoic wave is a term used in ultrasound. Substances of a different medium are called isochoic if waves travel through them at the same speed. Isochoic in ultrasound means that two structures have the same echogenicity in 2D mode (B-mode).
