Non-invasive Diagnosis of Fetal Lung Prematurity with GLHW Ultrasound Tissue Characterization
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Non-invasive diagnosis of fetal lung immaturity. Ultrasound gray level histogram width (GLHW) tissue characterization was studied in fetal lung. GLHW ratio of fetal lung and liver was multiplied by gestational weeks, and fetal lung immaturity was diagnosed, if the product was less than 29. Ninety six per cent of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) was predicted noninvasively in immature fetal lung diagnosed by GLHW tissue characterization. Fetal lung immaturity diagnosed by GLHW ultrasound tissue characterization predicted neonatal RDS noninvasively.

Fetal Diagnosis with Ultrasonic Actocardiogram and GLHW Tissue Characterization
Actocardiogram: Ultrasonic Doppler actocardiogram was simultaneous tracing of FHR and fetal movement signals on the monitoring chart, created in 1984 by Maeda. Fetal behavior was easily studied, false-positive nonreactive FHR and physiological sinusoidal FHR were differentiated, the severity of fetal CNS lesion and common fetal disorders were determined, short and long-term outcomes were diagno...
متن کاملNon-invasive estimation of cardiac wall stress by using tissue doppler-echocardiography ultrasound images: People with coronary artery stenosis
In this study, a method for non-invasive estimation of stress on the heart wall in the diastole phase is presented using ultrasound echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging. The aim of this study was to evaluate the stress on the heart wall as a pre-diagnosis to identify people with coronary artery stenosis. 29 patients with stenosis of more than 70%, 30 patients with stenosis of 50 to 7...
متن کاملI-40: Non Invasive Prenatal Genetic Diagnosis;Current Status and The Future
Discovery of cell free fetal DNA in 1997 has deeply changed the outlook of prenatal diagnosis approaches as most of the clinically established screening tests are not sensitive/specific enough while the current practical diagnostic tests are also invasive in their nature. The most common prenatal screening test is routinely practiced for the diagnosis of Down syndrome (DS) which includes a 10% ...

During the recent decades with increasing the use of assisted reproductive techniques including IVF, IUI and ovulation induction, the rate of multiple pregnancies has been increased worldwide. More than 30% of ART pregnancies are twins or higher-order multiple gestations (triplets or greater) a frequency 15- to 20-fold greater than with spontaneous conceptions. Because of the high cost of treat...
متن کاملNon-invasive pulsed cavitational ultrasound for fetal tissue ablation: feasibility study in a fetal sheep model.
OBJECTIVES Currently available fetal intervention techniques rely on invasive procedures that carry inherent risks. A non-invasive technique for fetal intervention could potentially reduce the risk of fetal and obstetric complications. Pulsed cavitational ultrasound therapy (histotripsy) is an ablation technique that mechanically fractionates tissue at the focal region using extracorporeal ultr...
