Potential value of contrast-enhanced gray-scale ultrasonography in diagnosis of acute muscle injury--preliminary results.
BACKGROUND Ultrasonography performed shortly after a direct or indirect muscle trauma may be confusing. The extent of a muscular tear can be difficult to assess because of oedema, intramuscular haematomas and red infarct. The aim of this study was to find out if it is possible to assess the extent of muscular lesions shortly (6 to 48 hours) after a trauma with improved accuracy using contrast-e...
متن کاملAtlas of Gray Scale Ultrasonography
It has been just five years since gray-scale ultrasound (U/S) became clinically available. Yet the day-to-day importance of U/S in general medicine and surgerynot just the traditional areas of ob/gyn and echocardiography-would be hard to overestimate. Because U/S is so new, however, there are still many clinicians who are ill at ease with those funny fuzzy speckled images, so different from the...
متن کاملInvestigation of acoustic properties of silica coated gold nanoparticle as contrast agent for Ultrasonography
Interoduction: Ultrasound images have often low contrast due to small differences in acoustic impedance between different tissues. Air or gas microbubbles that surrounded by membrane are most of the contrast agents in ultrasound imaging. Problems such as instability in sound pressure and inability in penetrating from the blood vessel into body tissues limited the use of microbubbles into the in...
متن کاملGray-scale resolution enhancement
The number of bits assigned to represent the color intensity at image pixels is usually referred as the bit depth. When the bit depth is not sufficient, images suffer from ridge-like structures known as false contours. Bit-depth limitations become important when low-contrast details are required, as in medical imaging, aerial/satellite photography, and high-quality scanning applications. In thi...
متن کاملEffects of Gray-Scale Ultrasonography Immediate Post-Contrast on Characterization of Focal Liver Lesions
This study compared the imaging features of conventional gray scale ultrasound (US) before and after contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for focal liver lesions and 22 evaluated the role of US post-CEUS in characterizing liver lesions. 126 patients with 158 focal liver lesions underwent CEUS and US post-CEUS examination and entered this study. There were 74 hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC), 43 h...
