The article presents the sonographic characteristics of 156 colon polyps identified in 67 patients during colonoscopy. It was found that pedunculated polyps measuring less than 10 mm in the sigmoid colon were detected significantly (P<0.01) more often than in other sections. Sonographically, polyps in the sigmoid colon were detected in 39,1+3,9% of cases, which was significantly (P<0.05) more than in the ascending and transverse colon.
The use of color Doppler mode showed that blood flow was significantly (P<0.05) more often recorded in pedunculated polyps measuring more than 10 mm. In the diagnosis of polyps measuring <10 mm, the sensitivity of sonography was 73.1%, specificity - 53.3%, accuracy 70.4%, and for polyps measuring >10 mm, these figures were 80.4%, 50.0%, 76.6%
Based on the study, we can conclude that sonography is an informative method for screening colon polyps, which allows sufficient sensitivity to determine their shape and location.
