Mediastinal masses—transthoracic ultrasonography aspects
Mediastinal masses are usually assessed by computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Transthoracic ultrasonography (TUS) can also provide useful information concerning prevascular and posterior mediastinal masses abutting the thoracic wall, but is underused for mediastinal pathology. Moreover, it provides a valuable and safe method for guiding interventional procedures in t...
متن کاملTransthoracic ultrasonography for the respiratory physician.
Transthoracic ultrasonography is still not utilized to its full potential by respiratory physicians, despite being a well-established and validated imaging modality. It allows for an immediate and mobile assessment that can potentially augment the physical examination of the chest. Ultrasound (US)-assisted procedures can be performed by a single clinician with no sedation and with minimal monit...
متن کاملTransthoracic lung ultrasonography in pulmonary alveolar proteinosis - case report.
A pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disease characterized by an accumulation of surfactant components in lung alveoli. In diagnosis and monitoring of the disease high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is usually used. Unfortunately, repeated exposure to CT scanning may be associated with an increased risk of radiation. We present a patient in whom repeated transthoracic lung ul...
متن کاملThe role of transthoracic ultrasonography in predicting the outcome of community-acquired pneumonia in hospitalized children
CONCLUSION TUS findings of fluid bronchogram, multifocal involvement, and pleural effusion were associated with adverse outcomes, including longer hospital stay, ICU admission, and tube thoracotomy in hospitalized CAP children. Therefore, TUS is a novel tool for prognostic stratifications of CAP in hospitalized children.
متن کاملTransthoracic needle biopsy for pleural and peripheral lung lesions: ultrasonography vs CT scan guidance.
It is well known that imaging-guided biopsy for pulmonary lesions will induce complications such as pneumothorax and bleeding. Preoperative enhanced CT imaging or intraoperative color Doppler ultrasound can be used to evaluate the vessel and avoid or reduce the operationrelated bleeding. However, the potential occurrence of pneumothorax makes us avoid performing CT scanguided biopsies. Th e occ...
