RESUMO
Objective To explore the application value of the modified hypotonic method of intestinal system contrast ultra-sonography in elder patients with small intestinal diseases .Methods Group A were 28 patients with small intestine disease and 8 patients who was found abdominal mass suspected source of intestinal tumors by routine abdominal ultrasound inspection .We con-trast the mannitol intestinal system contrast ultrasound with modified hypotonic method of intestinal system ultrasound contrast , and compare with gastrointestinal ,gastrointestinal barium meal contrast ,then contrast the results of pathology .Group B were 37 patients ,with definite diagnosis with duodenal ulcers ,polyps ,the descending part of the diverticulum ,who respectively treated with drinking water method and modified hypotonic method of intestinal system ultrasound contrast ,then carry the two methods into comparison .Results The nidus detection increase from 9 to 12 in group A ;the nidus detection increase from 13 to 33 in group B . The modified hypotonic method of intestinal system contrast ultrasonography ,which eliminate intestinal gas more obvious and relax the intestinal lumen more sufficient than conventional contrast ,can improve the nidus detection rate .Conclusion The modified hy-potonic method of intestinal system contrast ultrasonography could be as a routine inspection method for elder small intestinal dis-ease paitents .
