Multiprojection ultrasound investigation was performed in 87 patients with jaundice. Echography was shown to be an effective method of differential diagnosis of parenchymatous and obstructive jaundice. The accuracy of ultrasound introscopy in the detection of parenchymatous jaundice was 84.3%, that in the detection of mechanical jaundice was 100% (the general accuracy being 85.7%). The authors proposed an algorithm for the use of ultrasound tomography, x-ray and clinico-instrumental methods in differential diagnosis of jaundice of different etiology.
