Describing Ultrasound
Findings
Anechoic = Anchoique
No internal echoes
Examples: Cysts, gallbladder,
urinary bladder, amniotic fluid
Hypoechoic = hypochoque
Isoechoic = isoechoique
Echoes equal in
strength to adjacent
tissue
Examples: some
liver and kidney
masses
cho = tissues
avoisinantes
Ex.: certaines
masses rnales
ou hpatiques
Hyperechoic = Hyperchoicqu
Echoes
greater than
adjacent tissue
Examples: liver
hemangioma, renal
angiomyolipoma
and ovarian dermoid
cho> tissues
avoisinantes
Ex: hmangiome
hpatique,
angiomyolipome rnale
Important
Acoustic Enhancement
Renforcement acoustique
Sound
that travels
more easily, usually
through fluid
Brighter echoes
behind
gel to displace
air between skin and
transducer
Could also use oil but
messy
Besoin de gle pour
liminer lair entre la
peau et la sonde
Peut aussi utiliser de
lhuile.
