[Ultrasound diagnosis in bone and soft tissue tumors (author's transl)].
The value of ultrasound diagnosis as an additional examination to x-ray and angiography is proved in various tumors and tumor like conditions of the locomotor system. It shows that the echotomogramms are helpful in various cases. This help results mainly in a better preoperative diagnosis of tumor size and topography and in some cases in the cognition of tumor structures. Therefore, this method can be a valuable information for surgery. In some cases the finding of soft tissue tumors is possible even when the x-ray and angiography do not give any information. In the search for tumor recurrence the ultrasound can also be applied.
