title: [Instrumental diagnosis and therapy decision making--ultrasound diagnosis and interventional measures].
abstract: Therapeutic decisions based on ultrasonographic findings afford a high accuracy of the diagnosis. Adequate equipment in the department and appropriate training of the surgeon are essential prerequisites. It is desirable to have possibilities of application which go far beyond routine ultrasonography of the abdomen. It is possible to develop a highly specialized ultrasonography which, however, becomes unnecessary if the question can more definitely be decided by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.
