Abstract P30. Ultrasonic Mapping of the Abdominal Wall using ARFI-SWV: A Prospective Trial to Determine the Physiologic Basis for Reconstruction

چکیده
PURPOSE: Current indices of risk evaluation for abdominal wall reconstruction focus on thickness and fat measurements, but do not address abdominal wall elasticity and texture assessment. Acoustic-Radiation-Forced-ImpulseShear-Wave-Velocity (ARFI-SWV) is a novel technology to assess skeletal muscle tissue characteristics. This technique has not assessed the abdominal wall physiology for reconstructive patients on a plastic surgery service.

متن کاملBREAST RECONSTRUCTION USING TRAM FLAP: PROSPECTIVE OUTCOME AND COMPLICATIONS
ABSTRACT Background: The transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap remains the gold standard for postmastectomy reconstruction either immediate or delayed. However, transfer of TRAM flap can be associated with donor site morbidities and complications in flap. A successful reconstruction consists of careful patient selection, surgical technique and meticulous preoperative plannin...
متن کاملThe utility of acoustic radiation force impulse imaging in diagnosing acute appendicitis and staging its severity.
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging to diagnose acute appendicitis. METHODS Abdominal ultrasonography (US) and ARFI imaging were performed in 53 patients that presented with right lower quadrant pain, and the results were compared with those obtained in 52 healthy subjects. Qualitative evaluation of the pati...
متن کاملComparative Study of Shear Wave Velocities Using Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Technology in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: The Extent of Radiofrequency Ablation
BACKGROUND/AIMS The purpose of this study was to assess the value of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) for predicting the extent of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by correlating the elasticity of HCC and peritumoral parenchyma (as measured by ARFI) with the extent of ablation determined by computed tomography (CT). METHODS From September 2009 to June 201...
متن کاملRole of Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) Elastography in Determination of Severity of Benign Prostate Hyperplasia
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the potential contribution of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography to the determination of the severity of benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH) by performing shear wave velocity (SWV) measurements of the prostate using ARFI technology. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty BPH patients and 40 healthy volunteers were included in this study. S...
