  2. Echogenicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echogenicity

    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 the sound echo reflects increased sound waves.

  3. Renal ultrasonography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_ultrasonography

    Renal ultrasonography (Renal US) is the examination of one or both kidneys using medical ultrasound. Ultrasonography of the kidneys is essential in the diagnosis and management of kidney-related diseases. The kidneys are easily examined, and most pathological changes in the kidneys are distinguishable with ultrasound.

  4. Scrotal ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrotal_ultrasound

    The ultrasound findings of tuberculous orchitis are as follow: (a) diffusely enlarged heterogeneously hypoechoic testis (b) diffusely enlarged homogeneously hypoechoic testis (c) nodular enlarged heterogeneously hypoechoic testis and (d) presence of multiple small hypoechoic nodules in an enlarged testis [Fig. 21b].

  5. Adrenal haemorrhage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenal_haemorrhage

    Abdominal ultrasound examination serves as an effective non-invasive diagnostic tool for adrenal hemorrhage. Because of the non-exposure to ionizing radiation and a relatively high neonatal adrenal gland size to body size ratio that is sufficient for examination, ultrasound would be the preference for newborn patients.

  6. Hematometra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematometra

    Although hematometra can often be diagnosed based purely on the patient's history of amenorrhea and cyclic abdominal pain, as well as a palpable pelvic mass on examination, the diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound, which will show blood pooled in the uterus and an enlargement of the uterine cavity.

  7. Ultrasonography of liver tumors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonography_of_liver...

    Some authors consider that early pronounced contrast enhancement of a nodule within 1–2 cm developed on a cirrhotic liver is sufficient for HCC diagnosis. These results prove that for a correct characterization of the lesions it is necessary to extend the examination time to 5 minutes or even longer. [citation needed] Fig. 11.

  8. Choroid plexus cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choroid_plexus_cyst

    There is a possible association between ultrasound-detected fetal CPCs and Trisomy 18. [6] [7] It is not correlated to the presence of Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome).[8] [9] Therefore, genetic counseling is often recommended to provide more information about fetal CPCs, to answer questions and concerns, and to outline available options such as amniocentesis or a blood test from the mother.

  9. Dacryocystocele - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dacryocystocele

    The diagnosis can be made prenatally; routine obstetric ultrasound can identify the characteristic hypoechoic lesion inferior and medial to the globe. It is important to distinguish a dacrocystocele from the more serious encephalocele, which is a neural tube defect. A dacryocystocele can be diagnosed postpartum with a non-invasive ultrasound (US).
