Characterization of Ascitis using Echo Texture
Objectives: The Purpose of this study is to characterize the asites fluid using echo texture and to compare the findings with laboratory results in order to predict the asctis type by imaging methods for ascitic patients. Methods: 53 Patients who underwent Sonography for ascitis between February 2012 and January 2013 were included in the study.The study was implemented in Wad- Medani Military Hospital, Alia Specialist Hospital- Wad-Madani. Wad-medani Teaching Hospital, National Cancer Institute- Wad-Madani and Omdurman Military Hospital .Gray scale Sonography of the abdomen was performed using Aloka SSD- 500 and Honda SSD-500 with frequency (3.5 MHz) convex probe.
