The acoustic method was used for early diagnosis of pyo-inflammatory complications of wounds of the maxillofacial area and neck. Acoustic skin analyzer was used. The velocities of acoustic wave propagation (Vx, Vy) were notably increased in the pyo-inflammatory focus in comparison with perifocal tissues and with the symmetrical contralateral side. The difference in the absolute values of velocities was about 45-65 m/s. No acoustic anisotropy was observed in the focus of inflammation. Hence, the acoustic method can be used as a method for early diagnosis of pyo-inflammatory complications and for monitoring the wound status in the course of wound process.
声学方法用于颌面部和颈部伤口脓性炎症并发症的早期诊断。使用了声学皮肤分析仪。与病灶周围组织和对侧对称部位相比，脓性炎症病灶处的声波传播速度（Vx、Vy）显著增加。速度绝对值的差异约为45 - 65米/秒。在炎症病灶处未观察到声学各向异性。因此，声学方法可作为脓性炎症并发症早期诊断及伤口愈合过程中伤口状况监测的一种方法。
