Abdominal ultrasonography, where gallstones create acoustic shadowing of the ultrasound, seen at bottom. A short-distance acoustic shadow occurs behind a building or a sound barrier. The sound from a source is shielded by the obstruction. Due to diffraction around the object, it will not be completely silent in the sound shadow. The amplitude ...
Figure 6: Transverse ultrasound of the penis, in a ventral view, in the middle portion of the penis. Note the echoic image with posterior acoustic shadowing, corresponding to calcification (arrow), in the left corpus cavernosum. [1]
Ultrasound: Hyper-echoic foci with posterior acoustic shadowing may be seen, representing calcified cysticerci. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Less useful for identifying calcifications directly but may show the residual inflammatory changes in adjacent tissues.
Diagnosis is typically confirmed by abdominal ultrasound. Other imaging techniques used are ERCP and MRCP. Gallstone complications may be detected on blood tests. [2] On abdominal ultrasound, sinking gallstones usually have posterior acoustic shadowing.

Benign liver tumors generally develop on normal or fatty liver, are single or multiple (generally paucilocular), have distinct delineation, with increased echogenity (hemangiomas, benign focal nodular hyperplasia) or absent, with posterior acoustic enhancement effect (cysts), have distinct delineation (hydatid cyst), lack of vascularization or show a characteristic circulatory pattern ...
Ultrasonography- Gossypiboma can be recognized with ultrasonography by "the presence of brightly echogenic wavy structures in a cystic mass showing posterior acoustic shadowing that changes in parallel with the direction of the ultrasound beam" according to Zbar [11] and associates.
Tumor markers such as serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin and alpha-feto protein are negative. The ultrasound patterns of epidermoid cysts are variable and include: A mass with a target appearance, i.e. a central hypoechoic area surrounded by an; echolucent rim; An echogenic mass with dense acoustic shadowing due to calcification;
