The use of ultrasonic B-mode scanning of the liver and biliary tract in patients with persistent jaundice is described. Sixty-seven consecutive jaundiced patients have been scanned. A correct diagnosis was obtained in 66 per cent, useful information in 26 per cent and in only 8 per cent was the information misleading or of no diagnostic value. In our opinion this simple and non-invasive technique is of great value in the definite diagnosis of persistent jaundice and should allow earlier surgery in the obstructive cases.
本文描述了对持续性黄疸患者进行肝脏和胆道的超声B型扫描的应用情况。对67例连续的黄疸患者进行了扫描。66%的病例获得了正确诊断，26%的病例得到了有用信息，仅有8%的信息具有误导性或无诊断价值。我们认为，这种简单且无创的技术在持续性黄疸的明确诊断中具有重要价值，并且应该能使梗阻性病例更早地接受手术治疗。
