METHOD FOR ACUTE VESICULITIS DIAGNOSTICS IN ADULTS Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A61B8/06 A61B8/08 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: transrectal ultrasound examination of seminal vesicles with an endorextile sensor 5-10 MHz in the modes of grayscale image in combination with energy Doppler sonography is performed. The anteroposterior size of seminal vesicles is measured, seminal vesicle wall thickness, layer-by-layer differentiation, echogenicity and the degree of seminal vesicle wall vascularization are determined. If the anteroposterior size of the seminal vesicle exceeds 15 mm, its wall thickness exceeds 2 mm, layered differentiation is disturbed, seminal vesicle wall echogenicity is reduced, and the degree of its wall vascularization is more than 1 colour signal, acute vesiculitis is diagnosed.

EFFECT: method provides early and precise identification of acute vesiculitis at the background of acute or chronic prostatitis prior to development of clinical presentation of acute vesiculitis by taking into account a set of criteria that reflect the pathogenetic links of acute vesiculitis, the analysis of which helps to judge about developing irregularities in the seminal vesicles structure.
