Ultrasound

Recent advances have allowed for less invasive and more accurate methods of diagnosis. The following is a review of article detailing the diagnostic use of ultrasonographic imaging.
Storey, P A, S Anemana, et al. “Ultrasound diagnosis of oesophagostomiasis.” The Brit. J. of Radiol. 73.867 (2000): 328-32. Sonographic imaging and ultrasound were used to examine two cases of oesophagostomiasis in the Nalerigu hospital in northern Ghana. The technology allowed for the detection of intestinal and abdominal wall modules, as well as their size, type and location in the case of the ultrasound. Multinodular disease was representedby nodular colonic lesions and pseudokidney appearances, while the single-nodular Dapaong tumor had the appearance of an echo-free lumen surrounded by a defined but badly reflective wall. The ability to diagnose oesophagostomiasis via ultrasound can reduce the number of excessive invasive surgeries and put greater emphasis on chemotherapy.[1]
