Superb microvascular imaging (SMI) compared with conventional ultrasound for evaluating thyroid nodules
BACKGROUND Superb microvascular imaging (SMI) for depiction of microvascular flow in thyroid nodules was compared with color/power Doppler imaging (CDI/PDI) and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS). In addition, the diagnostic performance of conventional ultrasound combined with SMI for differentiating benign and malignant thyroid nodules was evaluated. METHODS Preoperative conventional u...
متن کاملSuperb Micro-Vascular Imaging (SMI) in the analysis of fetoplacental microvascular blood flow
F Introduction Ultrasound monitoring of pregnancy is based on standardised 2D examination of the fetus and associated structures in each trimester of pregnancy. A second-look ultrasound examination is undertaken for diagnostic or prognostic purposes in various circumstances: localisation of a suspected morphological or biometric abnormality found on the screening ultrasound and/or identificatio...
متن کاملThe Diagnostic Value of Superb Microvascular Imaging (SMI) in Detecting Blood Flow Signals of Breast Lesions
The correlation between color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) and Superb Microvascular Imaging (SMI) for detecting blood flow in breast lesions was investigated, as was the diagnostic value of SMI in differentiating benign from malignant breast lesions.These lesions were evaluated using both CDFI and SMI according to Adler's method. Pathologic examination showed 57 malignant lesions and 66 benign l...
متن کاملComputerize classification of Benign and malignant thyroid nodules by ultrasound imaging
Introduction: Early detection and treatment of thyroid nodules increase the cure rate and provide optimal treatment. Ultrasound is the chosen imaging technique for assessment of thyroid nodules. Confirmation of the diagnosis usually demands repeated fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB). So, current management, has morbidity and non zero mortality. The goal of the present study ...
متن کاملUp-to-date Doppler techniques for breast tumor vascularity: superb microvascular imaging and contrast-enhanced ultrasound
Ultrasonographic Doppler techniques have improved greatly over the years, allowing more sophisticated evaluation of breast tumor vascularity. Superb microvascular imaging (SMI) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) with second-generation contrast agents are two representative up-to-date techniques. SMI is a sensitive Doppler technique that adopts an intelligent filter system to separate low-f...
