  • Title: [Ultrasonic diagnosis of cardiac and abdominal diseases using real time b-scan technique (author's transl)].
    Author: Bergmann H.
    Journal: Wien Klin Wochenschr; 1978 May 12; 90(10):341-7. PubMed ID: 654298.
    Abstract:
    After a short description of the physical principles of ultrasound, the indications and usefulness of the real time B-scan technique in the non-invasive diagnosis of cardiac and abdominal diseases are discussed. A correct diagnosis was made in 90% of the cardiac cases (valve abnormalities, pericardial effusion, cardiac aneurysm, cardiomyopathy), whereas the diagnosis by ultrasound was correct in only 81.1% of the abdominal cases (diffuse and localized liver diseases, pancreatitis, pancreatic cyst, carcinoma of the pancreas, cholelithiasis, renal cyst, renal tumours, aortic aneurysm). The advantages of the real time B-scan technique lie in the two-dimenstional clear representation of intracardiac and intraabdominal structures with the possibility of undertaking quantitative measurements. Furthermore, it is a non-invasive and safe method, which can be repeated as often as necessary and can complete the diagnositic spectrum of radiology, endoscopy and nuclear medicine.
