METHOD FOR BLADDER LEIOMYOMA DIAGNOSING Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A61B8/08 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: at the first stage bladder examination is carried out with transabdominal access using a convex probe with frequency of 3.5-5.0 MHz. Localization and echogenicity of the pathological formation are assessed. Transrectal ultrasonography is performed at the second stage. The ultrasonic sensor with 10-12 MHz frequency is injected into the vial of the rectum. The safety of hyperechoic outer and inner layers of the bladder wall is estimated along the tumour surface. Zones, that border tumours and the intact muscle layer of the bladder wall are visualized. If a hypoechoic round or oval formation located in the middle muscular layer of the bladder wall, bounded both outside and inside by the bladder wall hyperechoic layers is detected, and if zones bordering the tumour and the intact muscle layer of the bladder in the form of triangular hypoechoic areas are found, bladder leiomyoma is diagnosed.

EFFECT: method allows leiomyoma diagnosis at the early stages due to exclusion of infiltrative growth of pathological formation.
