Chest ultrasonic examination in near-wall and diaphragmatic focal formations
Abstract
Forty-nine patients with various pulmonary, pleural and mediastinal pathology were examined with ultrasound. The ultrasonic approach was chosen after radiological and computed tomographic results had been analyzed. Ultrasound is a highly effective method for determination of cystic changes, lung cancer spreading, differentiation of various pleural diseases, differential diagnostics of retrosternal goitre, thymomas and lymphomas. This method is an important part of radial diagnostics of respiratory diseases. Its data make an origin of pathology more precise.
