[Sonographic representation of fibroses (a contribution to the problem of tissue differentiation) (author's transl)]

Twelve patients with radiogenic fibroses were submitted to a sonographic examination by means of a grey-scale compound-scanner. As these skin fibroses are well suited for inspection and palpation, they are qualified to serve as a model with regard to the problem of sonographic tissue differentiation. Fibroses of medium and high degree are determined by characteristic properties in the B picture, whereas fibroses of low degree cannot be recorded by this technique.
