[Sonography of coagulating blood: experimental and clinical findings]
Abstract:
The sonographical morphology of the mechanisms of blood coagulation, as well as the changes occurring the old blood coagulae, were analysed in vitro. Examples of clinical cases show the variety of patterns produced by haemorrhages during sonographical examination. Fresh coagulae have a structure closely resembling that of liver parenchyma, whereas the very inhomogeneous appearance of relatively old coagulae looks more like malignant tumours which seem to be growing as though they had got out of control. It is pointed out that knowledge of the wide sonomorphological spectrum of the different forms and manifestations of "haematoma" is of great importance in critical sonographic examination of problematic cases in abdominal and thoracic surgery and also in traumatology.

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...
