METHOD OF DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTICS OF PATHOLOGICAL SPATIAL FORMATIONS AT ROOT OF NARROW INTESTINE MESENTERY AND/OR IN GREATER OMENTUM Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC A61B8/00 

FIELD: medicine; oncology.

SUBSTANCE: ultrasonography of abdominal organs and pathology locus detection in prone position are performed. If a pathological locus of dubious location in omentum and/or root of mesentery is present, its anatomic localisation properties are discovered by ultrasonic sensor by abdominal cavity examination in standing position, then during forced abdominal breath type and during shallow breathing or breath stop by measured sensor compression on anterior abdominal wall. If spatial formation is located under anterior abdominal wall and moves parallel to anterior abdominal wall during breathing, and during compression by sensor is unidirectional with abdominal wall, then detected spatial formation is located in greater omentum. If spatial formation is visualised along or beside mesentery vessels in front of aorta and postcava, and during breathing and compression of anterior abdominal wall by sensor shifts in front-rear direction against abdominal wall, then detected spatial formation is located at the root of narrow intestine mesentery. Method allows visualisation of mutual movement of omentum and intestine loops even at their equal echo generation rate, visualisation of intestine loop peristaltic or its absence in a omentum, a layer of the same structure positioned in front of intestines, visualisation of inflicted areas characterised by high and low echo generation combination, specifying of infliction localisation.

EFFECT: differentiation of altered root of mesentery from afflicted greater omentum.
