Ukuhlolwa kwe-imaging yezokwelapha okuvame ukusetshenziswa, i-ultrasound yesisu inganqunywa ezimweni eziningi ngoba kuyindlela elula, engenabuhlungu futhi ephephile yokuhlola izitho eziqinile esifundeni sesisu kanye ne-pelvic.

I-ultrasound yesisu isekelwe ekusetshenzisweni kwe-ultrasound: ithunyelwe yi-probe, ibonakala ezindongeni zezitho futhi ikhiqize i-echo, ukubuya kwayo okwenza kube lula ukuthola izithombe.

I-Ultrasound isetshenziselwa ukuhlola izitho ezisesiswini eziqinile noma eziqukethe uketshezi - isibindi, amanyikwe, i-gallbladder, i-bile ducts, izinso, ubende -, imithambo yegazi nezitho ezisesinqeni se-abdominopelvic ultrasound: isibeletho namaqanda kwabesifazane, i-prostate kanye nesidoda. ama-vesicles emadodeni.

Kwenza kube nokwenzeka ukuthola ubuningi besisu obungavamile (i-ganglion, i-calculus) kanye nokuhlukanisa isisindo esiqinile ku-fluid mass (isibonelo, isimila).

I-ultrasound yesisu yenziwa esibhedlela noma ehhovisi le-radiology, ngudokotela, i-radiologist noma umbelethisi (i-ultrasound yokukhulelwa). Ukuhlola okungenabuhlungu futhi akudingi ukulungiswa, ngaphandle kokuzila ukudla okungenani amahora angu-3. Ezimweni ezithile, kungase kudingeke ukuba esinyeni sigcwale: lokhu kuzobe sekuchazwa encwadini kadokotela.

I-ultrasound yesisu yenziwa nge-transcutaneously, okusho ukuthi ngodonga lwesisu, okungavamile kakhulu ukuthi i-endocavitary (i-vagin noma i-rectum) ibe seduze ngangokunokwenzeka esifundeni okufanele sihlolwe. Ijeli epholile isetshenziswa esiswini ukuze kube lula ukudluliswa kwe-ultrasound. Khona-ke udokotela udlulisa uphenyo lwe-ultrasound esiswini, ukuze athole izithombe ezihlukahlukene ezihlukene eziphinde zidluliselwe esikrinini.

I-ultrasound yesisu ingase iyalwe lapho kukhona ubuhlungu besisu. Ivumela ukuxilonga ama-pathologies ahlukahlukene ezithweni ezahlukahlukene zesisu:

• amatshe enyongo;
• i-cirrhosis, isibindi esinamafutha, i-cyst, isimila sesibindi;
• ukunwetshwa noma ukuvinjelwa kwepheshana le-bilary;
• i-pancreatitis, ama-cysts ku-pancreas, i-fibrosis;
• i-fibrosis, i-necrosis, ukuphuka kwe-spleen;
• i-lymphadenopathy (i-intra-abdominal lymph nodes);
• i-thrombosis yemikhumbi;
• amatshe ezinso, ukwanda kwezinso;
• i-ascites (ukuba khona koketshezi emgodini wesisu).

Ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa, i-ultrasound yesisu yenza kube nokwenzeka ukulandela ukukhula okuhle kwe-fetus kanye nokubona ukungahambi kahle kwe-morphological. Ekuqaphelweni kokukhulelwa kwakudala, kunconywa ama-ultrasound amathathu.

Izithombe kanye nombiko we-ultrasound kunikezwa ngosuku olufanayo.

Kuye ngemiphumela ye-ultrasound, ezinye izivivinyo zingase zibekwe ukuze kucaciswe ukuxilongwa: isithwebuli, i-MRI, i-laparoscopy.
