Method for determining the size of hypertrophied pharyngeal tonsils using ultrasound diagnostics

Аннотация

The diagnostic technique for hypertrophy of the pharyngeal tonsil, based on Doppler ultrasound examination of the tonsil with visualization of vascularization, registration of the rate of movement of blood flow, encryption of these data in different tones and formation of the resulting pattern on a two-dimensional black and white image of the object under study, are indicated by the fact that in the tonsil with a transverse diameter of 17– 23 and 22–30 mm and more, an increase in blood flow is observed, in contrast to tonsils with a smaller transverse diameter, up to 16 mm.
