Abstract
- During two months from May, 1989, sonographic findings of juxta-and subdiaphragmatic esophaus were obtained in120 cases(88%) among 137 cases of normal patients. The esophageal wall is seen as three different echoic layers;hyperechoic mucos, hypoechoic intervening layers, hyperechoic adventitia. The esophageal image is truncated hornshape966%) and tubular shape(34%) on longitudinal section, and oval shape(97%) on cross section. The quality ofesophageal image is intimately proportionate to the degree of the development of left lobe of liver. On abdominalultasonogram, the normal esophageal image of juxta-and subdiaphragmetic esophagus will be used for evaluation ofteh pathology of the esophagus.
