Notes

  1. 1.

    Note: in addition to diagnostic B-scan examination, standardized echography described by Karl C. Ossoinig is often recommended in the literature.

There is no clear agreement regarding the benefits of this method; as it is not widely used in Hungary, this examination is not described in details here
