A new form of ultrasound diagnostic possibility is presented (the electroscan). The basic principles of this two dimensional method are described. Special attention is given to the probe consisting of an array of 21 elements of piezo-electric material. The results of this method in four patients are discussed (meningioma, arteriovenous aneurysm, subdural haematoma, and a baby with hydrocephalus). The baby with hydrocephalus showed diagnostic problems which could be understood from the pneumoencephalographic findings. The electroscan method seems to offer good possibilities for the diagnosis of brain lesions, if these have a consistency different from that of normal brain tissue.
介绍了一种新的超声诊断方法(电扫描)。描述了这种二维方法的基本原理。特别关注了由21个压电材料元件阵列组成的探头。讨论了该方法在四名患者中的应用结果(脑膜瘤、动静脉瘤、硬膜下血肿和一名脑积水婴儿)。脑积水婴儿显示出诊断问题,这可以从气脑造影结果中理解。如果脑部病变的密度与正常脑组织不同,电扫描方法似乎为脑部病变的诊断提供了很好的可能性。
