B-Mode Ultrasound Imaging, Doppler Imaging, and Real-Time Elastography in Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma and Lymph Node Metastases
Examination by ultrasonography (US) is a rapid, sensitive, cost-effective, and even portable technique for confirming the presence of tumors. However, US is not routinely used worldwide for the diagnostic work-up of cutaneous malignant melanoma. High-resolution US using a 6-14 MHz or 5-13 MHz linear transducer enables the preoperative assessment of tumor size and thickness. Compared with physic...
متن کاملThe role of endobronchial ultrasound elastography in the diagnosis of mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes
Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has been widely used for diagnosis and mediastinal lymph nodes staging in patients with suspicious lung cancer. Ultrasound elastography is a novel sonographical technique that can evaluate tissue compressibility. The aim of the present study was to investigate the diagnostic yield of elastography for differentiating ma...
متن کاملEndobronchial Ultrasound Elastography for Diagnosing Mediastinal and Hilar Lymph Nodes
BACKGROUND Pathophysiological processes, such as malignancy, can lead to the formation of stiffer tissue in lung cancers. Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) elastography is a novel technique for measuring tissue stiffness during EBUS-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA). The current study was conducted to investigate the diagnostic value of EBUS elastography for mediastinal and hila...
متن کاملQuantitative Analysis of Enlarged Cervical Lymph Nodes with Ultrasound Elastography.
UNLABELLED PURPSOE: To investigate the diagnostic value of quantitative analysis of a tissue diffusion and virtual touch tissue imaging quantification (VTIQ) technique with acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography for assessing enlarged cervical lymph nodes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-six enlarged cervical lymph nodes confirmed by pathologic diagnoses were covered in the study. A...
متن کاملClinical Abstracts using Hitachi Real-time Tissue Elastography
Purpose: Ultrasound elastography is a new imaging procedure which allows the reconstruction of elasticity distribution by characterising the difference of hardness between pathological and normaltissue.Materials and Methods: The aim of our study was to apply real-time elastography during endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) examinations and to consequently characterise benign versus malignan...
