Imaging patients with renal colic—consider ultrasound first
UNLABELLED Renal colic is a common disease in Europe and a common cause of visit to the Emergency Department. Clinical diagnosis is usually confirmed by imaging modalities. Unenhanced computed tomography (CT) is considered the best diagnostic test due to its excellent accuracy detecting ureteral stones. However, ultrasound (US) should be considered as the primary imaging technique. It is a repr...
متن کاملUltrasound Molecular Imaging With BR55 in Patients With Breast and Ovarian Lesions: First-in-Human Results.
Purpose We performed a first-in-human clinical trial on ultrasound molecular imaging (USMI) in patients with breast and ovarian lesions using a clinical-grade contrast agent (kinase insert domain receptor [KDR] -targeted contrast microbubble [MBKDR]) that is targeted at the KDR, one of the key regulators of neoangiogenesis in cancer. The aim of this study was to assess whether USMI using MBKDR ...
متن کاملthe diagnostic accuracy of high resolution ultrasound imaging for detection of secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic renal failure
ultrasound is one of the preferred modalities for evaluation of the parathyroid glands. this study was undertaken to determine the accuracy of high resolution ultrasound for secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic renal failure. from march 2008 to march 2009, ninety-one hemodialysis patients were examined by high resolution ultrasound (14 mhz) of the parathyroid glands in compari...
متن کاملMyocardial ultrasound tissue characterization in patients with chronic renal failure.
The objective of this study was to detect ultrastructural changes in myocardium related to collagen content by ultrasound tissue characterization in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and in uncomplicated hypertensive control subjects. In 25 hemodialysis (HD) patients, in 25 patients with moderate to severe chronic renal failure (CRF), and in 10 patients with essential hypertension (EH)...
متن کاملRenal Function and Ultrasound Imaging in Elderly Subjects
UNLABELLED We evaluated in elderly subjects (a) the ability of GFR formulas to discriminate chronic kidney disease (CKD), (b) the correlation between renal morphology and function, and (c) the usefulness of combined r-US and GFR formulas to detect CKD. A total of 72 patients were enrolled (mean age 80±7 years, male sex 44%, serum creatinine 0.98±0.42 mg/dL, and CKD 57%). Cockcroft-Gault showed ...
