[Experimental meniscus sonography: the influence of imaging geometry on the visualization of meniscal lesions].

Specific meniscal tears were set on prepared cadaver knees to examine the influence of projection factors on the visualisation of these lesions via ultrasound. 7.5 MHz sector- and linear scanner were used. It showed that both the extent of the lesion and also the angle between outgoing echo-direction and reflection plane determines the sonographic findings of meniscal tears. Adapted horizontal tears and vertical radial tears were often not seen. Concentric vertical lesions showed one or two high echogenic lines, depending on the extent of the defect. So it seems that there are limits for an exact sonographic characterization of meniscal lesions.

Evaluation Studies as Topic↗

[Phantom studies of the value of color-coded Doppler sonography in arterial occlusive disease of the lower extremities].

A new practically orientated phantom for evaluating Doppler Duplex equipment was developed and used to determine the possibilities and limits of color coded Doppler Sonography (Angiodynography) in the diagnosis of arterial occlusive disease of the lower extremity. The problems that may occur in quantifying flow in these arteries are analyzed. The influence of superimposed slices of various soft-tissues on flow quantification, on the spectral waves and on color coded visualisation of the arteries and the possibility to compensate those changes by the use of sonographic contrast agents are discussed.
