[The value of ultrasound in the diagnosis of popliteal cyst].

The value of ultrasound in popliteal cyst diagnostics and treatment has been presented. Five and 7.5 MHz real time scanners were used in comparative clinical studies on 70 patients. High correlation of preparative ultrasound diagnoses and the intraoperative findings was established. We believe, that ultrasound as a non-unvasuve method will claim a growing importance in the diagnosis of popliteal cyst.
