[Ultrasonic diagnosis of hepatic echinococcosis]

Echotomography was used in the complex examination of 84 patients operated upon for echinococcosis of the liver. An analysis of the data obtained has shown echotomography to be highly sensitive in patients with cavital newformations. The method is expedient to be used first in the complex examination of patients with any pathology of the liver for the detection of patients with echinococcus disease, for the establishment of the topographic localization and recurrences of the pathological process.
