[Ultrasound diagnosis of acute appendicitis]
Abstract:
The possibilities of ultrasonic examination in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis are analysed. The ultrasonic parameters are systematized on the basis of examination of 76 patients with various forms of acute inflammation of the vermiform process and of 16 healthy individuals. Exosemeiotics of acute appendicitis is presented. The high significance of USE in complex examination of patients with suspected acute inflammation of the vermiform process difficult for diagnosis is shown. This was confirmed by the results of complex examination of 151 patients with various urgent pathological conditions whose clinical symptomatology was similar to that of acute appendicitis. It was found that USE improves the diagnostics in difficult clinical cases and lessens the number of diagnostic and tactical errors. The wide use of ultrasonic examination in the daily practice of surgical clinics is recommended.

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...
