Efficiency of ultrasound diagnostics of adrenal glands incident during a screening examination
To assess the possibility of sonography during a screening study as part of an in - depth medical examination during the clinical examination, a comparative analysis of the data obtained with the results of computed tomography was carried out, through which 55 cases of adrenal gland formations with dimensions of 13.4±7 mm were diagnosed in 32 men (age - 72.5±11.42 years) and 18 women (67.2±18.1 years). Using echography, right - sided adrenal incidentalomas were detected in 65% of cases with a focal pathology size of 25.1±6.5 mm, and left - sided ones - in 17% of cases with 24±5.8 mm. The obtained data cannot be interpreted as acceptable and useful for screening examination.
