A case of retained surgical sponge was imaged by ultrasound and computed tomography (CT). Sonography revealed a hypoechoic mass with areas of high echoes and acoustic shadowing. An experiment revealed that the high echoes were attributed partly to the presence of numerous interfaces of sponges. The sonographic detection of a mass with high echoes casting acoustic shadows should alert radiologists to the possibility of retained surgical sponges even if there is no gas or calcification on CT scans.
一例手术中遗留海绵的病例通过超声和计算机断层扫描(CT)进行了成像。超声检查显示一个低回声肿块,伴有高回声区域和声影。一项实验表明,高回声部分归因于海绵存在大量界面。即使CT扫描上没有气体或钙化,超声检测到有高回声并伴有声影的肿块也应提醒放射科医生注意手术中遗留海绵的可能性。
