Objective: The present study aims to evaluate the possibilities of duplex ultrasound in the di-agnosis of damage to the large vessels of the neck in combat trauma. Method: The present study included 59 wounded as a result of mine-explosive, shrapnel ef-fects on the neck. Visualization of large vessels of the neck was carried out using duplex ul-trasound using a linear transducer in the frequency range of 5-10 MHz on Philips HD-11. The p-value <0.05 was regarded as having a significant difference. Results: Damage to the common carotid artery was recorded in 43 cases, jugular vein - in 39, internal carotid artery - in 24, external carotid artery - in 23, subclavian artery - in 25 cases, subclavian vein - in 25 cases, vertebral artery - in 15 cases, respectively. Types of vascular in-jury included arterial or venous thrombosis, intima detachment with flap, pseudoaneurysm, and arteriovenous fistula. The thrombosis was recorded in 103 cases, detachment of the inti-ma - in 65 cases, pseudoaneurysm - in 26, arteriovenous fistula- in 14 cases, respectively. Conclusions: Duplex ultrasound allows you to identify damage to all large vessels of the neck received during a combat injury. Thrombosis of the jugular and subclavian veins signifi-cantly predominates over other types of vascular damage (P<0.001). Among the damage to the arteries, the leading place is occupied by detachment of the intima of the common carotid artery (P<0,001).
Objective: To investigate the diagnostic value of duplex ultrasound in the diagnosis of liver tumors. Method: The present study included 152 cases of liver tumors; there were 87 malignant and 65 benign tumors. Visualization of liver tumors was carried out of duplex ultrasound using a convex transducer in the frequency range of 2-5 MHz on Philips HD-11. The p-value <0.05 was regarded as having a significant difference. Results: The hepatocellular carcinoma was diagnosed in 29 cases, the cholangiocellular carcinoma – in 21 cases, the metastatic liver cancer – in 37 cases, the capillary hemangioma – in 39 cases and the cavernous hemangioma – in 26 cases, respectively. In 115 cases (P<0,001), liver tumors were localized in the right lobe, in 37 cases – in the left lobe. In 59 cases, the tumor morphology was regularly, in 93 cases – irregularly. In 74 cases, the tumor boundary edge was clearly, in 78 cases – unclearly. Acoustic halo at the edge of the tumors was observed in 27 cases, of which HCC in 19 (65.5 ± 8.8%) cases (P<0,001). Isoechoic lesions were registered in 19 cases of liver tumors, of which in 11 (52.4±10, 9%) cases of cholangicarcinoma – significantly (P<0.001) higher than the rest. Conclusions: Duplex ultrasound allows you to identify the malignant and benign liver tumors. The most significant ultrasonographic signs of malignancy of the formation are fuzzy contours, heterogeneous internal structure, hypoechogenicity and increased vascularization of the pathological formation
