OR
Echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on an echocardiography/ultrasound suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
OR
There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with [disease name]. However, an echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].
Ultrasound
- Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of sialolithiasis. Findings on ultrasound diagnostic of sialolithiasis include:[1]
- Hyperechoic points or lines with distal acoustic shadowing.
- Small stones less than 2 cm may not have shadow
- Ultrasound can detect stones that are radiolucent
- In acute obstructive cases due to sialolithiasis, ther excretory duct may be dilated.
- Hyperechoic points or lines with distal acoustic shadowing.
- Ultrasound is done with intra oral probes
