Use of Bioplasm nls (which in comparison to CT provides panoramic images and higher sensitivity superior in certain locations, accurate differential and regional diagnostics) was the next step in diagnostics improvement of complicated hepatic echinococcosis. Bioplasm nls provides more efficient differentiation of «pseudo-soild» echinococcosis forms from tumors by means of spectral-entropy analysis (SEA). Overall accuracy of Bioplasm nls-diagnostics in case of echinococcosis is more than 95%.

Bioplasm nls diagnostics method has the following key advantages: effective estimation of cysts size, their number and location in liver, their interrelation with vessels and bile ducts, parasites development stage estimation and also detection of other organs affection by echinococcus. This information is crucial in surgical approach determination, planning of operation type and its scope, and also suggesting of possible intraoperative complications.

As can be seen from the above, the introduction of Bioplasm nls with SEA into clinical practice significantly improves diagnostics of complicated echinococcosis (especially in its early forms) which allows often performance of radical and, at the same time, economical intervention. However, existing methods of instrumental diagnostics do not provide 100% accurate results. In 2-9% of cases it is not possible to establish the nature of hepatic cyst formation using hardware research methods.

The purpose of given research is to determinate the peculiarities of hepatic echinococcosis hardware diagnostics and its complications.
