The relevance of the method of ultrasound diagnostics in medical examination of military personnel

To develop a gradation of the significance and prevalence of echo structural changes in internal organs in male military personnel, during the medical examination, 233 people aged 51.7 ±7.16 years were examined, who underwent ultrasound examination of the hepatobiliary zone, spleen, kidneys, thyroid and prostate glands according to the generally accepted method. The subjects were divided into 3 age groups with a 10-year interval: 1st – up to 45 years (40.80±6.92, n=46), 2nd—46-55 (50.95±4.75, n=107), 3rd – 56 years and older (59.06±2.21, n=80). The obtained data were correlated with one of the 4 developed criteria: the 1st group – the norm, the 2nd – minor deviations that do not require a change in the frequency of observation (in general, 76.4–100% of observations depending on the organ). The control in dynamics with a reduced interval was the 3rd group (13.3–19.3% of observations). The 4th group included deviations that require a decision during detection (3–9% among changes in the liver, kidneys, gallbladder and thyroid gland). Thus, the high significance of the method in the primary detection of pathological changes in internal organs in military personnel during medical examination was determined.
