METHOD FOR ACUTE PELVIC DEFERENTITIS (AMPULLITIS) DIAGNOSTICS IN ADULTS Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A61B8/06 A61B8/08 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: ultrasound study of the deferent duct ampulla is performed by an endorectal ultrasound sensor in the modes of grayscale image in combination with energy Doppler sonography. The contours are examined, anteroposterior and lateromedial dimensions, layered structure, echogenicity and the degree of vascularization of the deferent duct ampulla vascular wall are determined. If the anteroposterior dimension of the deferent duct ampulla increases by more than 5 mm, lateromedial dimension increases by more than 8 mm, contours are fuzzy and the layered deferent duct ampulla wall differentiation is disturbed, its echogenicity is reducing, as well as if the degree of vascularization of the deferent duct ampulla wall is more than 1 colour signal, acute pelvic deferentitis is diagnosed.

EFFECT: method provides an earlier and more accurate detection of acute pelvic deferentitis occurring at the background of acute prostatitis or acute vesiculitis in adults, prior to the development of its clinical picture, by taking into account a set of certain ultrasound criteria that reflect the pathogenetic links of acute pelvic deferentitis.
