METHOD OF ULTRASOUND EXAMINATION OF URINARY BLADDER IN ONCOUROLOGICAL PATIENTS Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61B8/08 A61M31/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to oncology. At the first stage ultrasound examination is performed to patients through anterior abdominal wall with present filling of urinary bladder. At the second stage retrograde filling of urinary bladder is performed through urethral catheter with furacilinum solution under dynamic transrectal ultrasound control until adequate filling of urinary bladder. State of internal surface of urinary bladder mucosa and external contours with gradual smoothing of walls is assessed. Presence of tumour formation, their quantity are detected, their true dimensions, localisation and spread are made more exact. After that Dopplerography is carried out in modes of colour and energy Doppler mapping for differential diagnostics of urinary bladder formations: neoplasm, concrement, chronic inflammation, blood clot. In addition, mobility and interposition of urinary bladder walls relative to adjacent organs of minor pelvis and intracavitatary neoplasms are detected.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to assess invasive processes in zone of direct location of tumour in urinary bladder lumen and commissural-infiltrative changes in paravesical cellular tissue, as well as possibility of diagnosing presence of tumour formations with dimensions to 1,0 cm and larger.
