To evaluate the place of ultrasonography in the detection of intracorporeal drug packets (body-packs) ten volunteers were examined by ultrasound after having swallowed four body-packs each. Diagnostic criteria had first been established by ultrasound imaging of body-packs in a water bath. The body-packs contained finger-stalls, 1.5-1.8 cm in diameter, filled with hard-pressed glucose. The criterion for identification in the water-bath was shown to be a sickle-shaped echo with a dorsal echo deficit. This sign identified 23 of the 40 body-packs in eight of the ten subjects. Within the first three hours of ingestion 22 body-packs were demonstrated in eight of the subjects; after 17 hours nine body-packs were identified in the stomach of four subjects. In only one subject was it possible to identify (two) body-packs in the region of the small-large intestine. In practice, intracorporeal drug smugglers will almost always have the body-packs in the stomach at the time of likely examination. Extensive ultrasound screening of suspected smugglers is, therefore, recommended.
为评估超声检查在检测体内毒品包裹（人体携带包）中的作用，让10名志愿者每人吞下4个人体携带包后进行超声检查。诊断标准首先通过在水浴中对人体携带包进行超声成像来确定。人体携带包内装有用手指套包裹的直径为1.5 - 1.8厘米的压缩葡萄糖。在水浴中识别的标准是出现镰刀状回声且背侧回声缺失。该征象在10名受试者中的8名身上识别出了40个包裹中的23个。摄入后的前3小时内，8名受试者身上显示出22个包裹；17小时后，在4名受试者的胃中识别出9个包裹。仅在1名受试者的大小肠区域识别出（2个）包裹。实际上，体内毒品走私者在可能接受检查时几乎总是会将人体携带包置于胃中。因此，建议对可疑走私者进行广泛的超声筛查。
