The examination technique, results and diagnostic value of sonography were evaluated in a retrospective study of 70 patients with pericardial effusion. Small effusions of less than 100 cc can be detected by observing a separation of the epicardium from the pericardium. With larger effusions sonography allows an approximate estimate of the volume. Since ultrasonography is non-invasive, and since it has a very high diagnostic accuracy and only few false-negative findings, it is the method of choice for the examination of patients suspected of having a pericardial effusion.
在一项对70例心包积液患者的回顾性研究中，对超声检查技术、结果及诊断价值进行了评估。通过观察心外膜与心包之间的分离情况，可检测出小于100立方厘米的少量积液。对于较大的积液，超声检查可大致估计积液量。由于超声检查是非侵入性的，且具有很高的诊断准确性和极少的假阴性结果，因此它是疑似心包积液患者检查的首选方法。
