[Transabdominal ultrasonography in diagnostics of gastric leiomyoms]
Abstract:
Ultrasonography by an original technique, consisting in stomach examination after fasting and upon contrasting, was performed in 10 cases in addition to conventional radiological and endoscopic techniques for diagnostics of gastric leiomyomas. An anechogenous mass originating from the muscular layer of the stomach was considered an evidence of leiomyoma. Advantages of ultrasonography over other methods used for the diagnostics of gastric leiomyomas include a possibility to evaluate the whole gastric wall, its layers, and the internal structure of the formation. This provides additional possibilities for differential diagnostics, including cases of malignization.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and solid...
