[A new artificial cushion (elastomer) as the interface for sonography].
For ultrasonographic examinations of 500 patients a new plastic cushion was applied as interface. This block is well flexible and behaves ultrasonographically like water. Long linear-array transducers can be coupled easily to irregular surfaces. The high resolution at the near focus of modern transducers can fully be used for demonstration of superficial structures. Indications are discussed.
