Ultrasound is a valuable diagnostic tool widely used in medicine. Recently, high-frequency ultrasonography has been introduced to dermatology owing to technical advances. Currently, the most often used frequency for skin imaging is between 20 and 25 MHz. Ultrasound images can be generated in different modes, i.e. one-dimensional A mode, two-dimensional B mode and C mode. This type of skin imagi...

Hypospadias is an anomaly of the male urogenital tract which occurs as a result of deficient closure of the urethral groove. Hypospadias is the most commonly seen urogenital anomaly in male neonates, but it is rarely diagnosed during prenatal period. Herein, a severe hypospadias case which was diagnosed by using 2D (two-dimensional) and 3D (three-dimensional) ultrasonography at 28 weeks of preg...

OBJECTIVES The aim of study was to assess the usefulness of 3D ultrasonography (3DUS) in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome. METHODS Fifty patients with carpal tunnel syndrome confirmed by electromyography and 37 healthy control participants underwent 3DUS of the wrists. The mean times per participant for the 3DUS examination and review of the 3D volume set were recorded. The cross-secti...

HYPOTHESIS Using 3-dimensional (3-D) over 2-dimensional (2-D) ultrasonographic (US) images of the breast represents a potentially significant advantage for computer-aided diagnosis (CAD). BACKGROUND Although conventional 2-D US images of the breast are increasingly used in surgical clinical practice, 3-D US imaging of the breast, a newly introduced technique, can offer more information than 2...
