German term

Aufprallecho

German to English Medical Medical: Instruments Mammosonographie
Bei vermehrt echogenem Grundmuster nach Radiatio finden sich neben kompressionsbedingt variablen Schallauslöschphänomenen im OP-Gebiet cranio-medial zusätzlich mehrere kleinste ***Aufprallechos***.

Hat das etwas mit "Doppelkonturen" zutun?

...*Aufprall*echo scheint eher ein schweizerische (eher mündlich verwendete) Variante zu sein...

agree Anne Schulz : Nach deiner Ref. scheint es sich um harte Echos mit (mehr oder weniger) vollständiger Schallreflexion zu handeln; dafür ginge beschreibend vielleicht auch 'echogenic foci' ?

sound wafe impact

The impact angle or bouncing off of the so-called signature waves. See:

Ultrasound imaging is based on the same principles involved in the sonar used by bats, ships and fishermen. When a sound wave strikes an object, it bounces backward, or echoes. By measuring these echo waves it is possible to determine how far away the object is and its size, shape, consistency (whether the object is solid, filled with fluid, or both) and uniformity.
In medicine, ultrasound is used to detect changes in appearance and function of organs, tissues, or abnormal masses, such as tumors.
In an ultrasound examination, a transducer both sends the sound waves and records the echoing waves. When the transducer is pressed against the skin, it directs a stream of inaudible, high-frequency sound waves into the body. As the sound waves bounce off of internal organs, fluids and tissues, the sensitive microphone in the transducer records tiny changes in the sound's pitch and direction. These signature waves are instantly measured and displayed by a computer, which in turn creates a real-time picture on the monitor. These live images are usually recorded on videotape and one or more frames of the moving pictures are typically captured as still images.
Using an ultrasound probe to visualize the location of the breast lump, the interventional radiologist inserts a biopsy needle through the skin, advances it into the mass and removes tissue samples. If a surgical biopsy is being performed, ultrasound may be used to guide a wire directly into the mass to help the surgeon locate the area for excision. With continuous ultrasound imaging, the physician is able to view the biopsy needle or wire as it advances to the location of the lesion in real-time.
