Gray scale ultrasonic investigation of focal defects on 99Tc sulphur colloid liver scanning.

Radionuclide liver scanning, though a well established technique for the detection of normal liver tissue replacement, has yet to deliver a satisfactory isotope method for distinguishing the benign or malignant nature of a disclosed nonfunctioning area. The solid or cystic nature of focal areas of replacement can be shown by ultrasonic echography, so the malignancy of the area can be inferred. The complementary use of both techniques is recommended.

Gray scale compound scan echography of the normal upper abdomen.

Compound scanning shows the size, shape, position, and anatomical relationships between the various organs in the upper abdomen. Gray scale compound scanning gives additional information from the parenchyma of organs and allows description of the characteristic ultrasonic appearance of specific tissues such as liver, spleen, or kidney. The method is complementary to simple scanning and for diagnostic work a combination of the two methods is recommended.

An obstetric test for resolution by ultrasonic echoscopes.

Very small fetal intervertebral and intercostal distances can be measured in B-mode echograms. Such measurements provide a physiological test object which is freely available and devoid of artefact for assessing resolution by ultrasonic echoscopes. Intercostal distances of 2mm have been measured.
