Ultrasound Imaging Simulation and Echocardiographic Image Synthesis
The paper presents a ray tracing ultrasound imaging simulation method that accounts for the effects of reflection, scattering and attenuation. Two-dimensional echocardiograhpic images were synthesized using this method. Nonlinear effects introduced by the signal processing units in an ultrasound imaging system were also emulated. Threedimensional triangular facet mesh models were employed in re...
متن کاملTransesophageal echocardiographic imaging of ultrasound lung rockets.
1335 December 2014 C care and emergency medicine physicians increasingly use thoracic ultrasound to assist in the diagnosis of alveolar interstitial syndrome (AIS).1 This heterogeneous group of conditions is characterized by fluid-thickened lung interstitium and includes cardiogenic and noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and interstitial pneumonia. The diagnosi...
متن کاملHypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. Assessment by echocardiographic and Doppler ultrasound techniques.
Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy is a disease of the myocardium that can be assessed echocardiographic and transcutaneous Doppler ultrasound techniques. Four patients are presented with various patterns of the disease, and the frequently familial incidence is illustrated. The importance of ultrasonic evidence for asymmetric septal hypertrophy in all stages is emphasized and evidence of r...
متن کاملPatterns of appearance and risk of misdiagnosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in cirrhosis at contrast enhanced ultrasound.
AIM Primary aim was to validate the percentage of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas (ICC) which have a contrast vascular pattern at contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) at risk of misdiagnosis with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and, secondary aim, to verify if any characteristics in the CEUS pattern helps to identify ICC. METHODS All ICC on cirrhosis seen in three Italian centres (Bologna, Mil...
متن کاملAssessment of Diagnostic Skills in Specialist Examinations Should Include Lessons Learnt From Misdiagnosis
BACKGROUND Poor authenticity in high stake clinical exams adversely effects validity. We propose including known misleading diagnostic factors and contextual biases in the assessment of diagnostic skills amongst advanced specialty trainees. We hypothesise that this strategy offers a more realistic and critical assessment of diagnostic skill than strategies in which candidates are presented with...
