[Ultrasonic diagnostics in the scope of clarification and prognosis of oncologic cases (author's transl)]

By means of ultrasonic diagnosis it is possible to represent neoplasms in the abdomen, retroperitoneum and small pelvis. The real-time scanner is utilized in tumor localization and search for metastases, whereas an exact measurement of the tumor, possible of a representative metastasis, and also the treatment planning, are performed with the cross-sectional images from the storage compound scanner. Controls during cancer therapy will give information about the therapeutic results. Recurrences or newly spread metastases may easily be detected by this method in the course of follow-up of the tumor patients.
