title: [The possibility for the early diagnosis of suppurative-inflammatory wound complications of the maxillofacial area and neck by using an acoustic skin analyzer].
abstract: The acoustic method was used for early diagnosis of pyo-inflammatory complications of wounds of the maxillofacial area and neck. Acoustic skin analyzer was used. The velocities of acoustic wave propagation (Vx, Vy) were notably increased in the pyo-inflammatory focus in comparison with perifocal tissues and with the symmetrical contralateral side. The difference in the absolute values of velocities was about 45-65 m/s. No acoustic anisotropy was observed in the focus of inflammation. Hence, the acoustic method can be used as a method for early diagnosis of pyo-inflammatory complications and for monitoring the wound status in the course of wound process.
