NLS Diagnostics and Vascular Pathology with Metatron Hunter 4025
The NLS method was developed in the mid-1990s and played an important role in the diagnosis of vascular pathology. The main advantages of the Metatron Hunter 4025 are the distinction between vascular and non-vascular structures, arteries and veins, and very accurate detection of vascular permeability disturbance signals caused by stenosis or occlusion of the vascular lumen caused by atherosclerotic plaque or thrombus. Usually not visible on screening in B-mode only.
Furthermore, the NLS method allows the diagnosis of portal hypertension, the presence of its intensity and the permeability of the Porto systemic bypass. NLS is very sensitive in determining the extent of peripancreatic vascular involvement in pancreatic cancer, which is critical for selecting surgical approaches. NLS allows detection of damaged renal vessels (veins and arteries), which is important for the correct selection of antihypertensive drugs for arterial hypertension.
Some effective hypertension drugs, namely angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, such as capostin, enalapril, beritil, etc., have become popular recently, but they have adverse effects in terms of renal artery stenosis. So doctors should keep in mind that the tension must be checked before prescribing this drug. In this case, the NLS method is likely to be the method of choice.
The NLS method is essential for the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant liver diseases. Its sensitivity is comparable to the potential of conventional or digital angiography and computer-aided magnification tomography. Also, the NLS method is cheaper, simpler, and easier to understand. Can be used directly at the patient's bedside if desired. The NLS method can be used in ophthalmology to examine ocular hemodynamics before or after surgical intervention, and in obstetrics to detect disturbed blood flow in the umbilical artery to diagnose fetal growth retardation and predict perinatal negativity.
To sum up, the NLS method is one of the most dynamic techniques and it is bound to bring some new discoveries in the next few years. The NLS diagnostic device Metatron Hunter 4025 with the NLS method is bound to have even greater development.
