Renal artery disease is an important cause of both renal failure and hypertension. Duplex ultrasound is a reliable noninvasive method for classifying the severity of renal artery lesions and can be repeated to follow the course of the disease over time. The purpose of this study was to determine the changes in kidney size associated with various degrees of renal artery disease. Serial kidney le...

PURPOSE We reviewed the usefulness of platelet scintigraphy, in which autologous platelets labeled with indium-111-oxine reveal thrombotic activity, for evaluating deep vein thrombosis (DVT). MATERIALS During the past 2 years, 39 cases with DVT were enrolled in this study. DVT was definitely diagnosed by color duplex scanning, platelet scintigraphy or both in all cases. For semiquantitative a...

Title: Cross-sectional area variations of internal jugular veins during supine head rotation in multiple sclerosis patients with chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency: a prospective diagnostic controlled study with duplex ultrasound investigation Authors:

A 56-year-old woman presented with chest discomfort and underwent coronary angiography via a transradial route. Left brachial artery stenosis was suspected because of difficulty in passing with a 0.035-inch guide wire. Upperextremity angiography showed presence of multiple stenoses and aneurysmal dilatations in her brachial artery (Figure 1). Subsequent to catheterization, the patient received ...

HYPOTHESIS High-resolution ultrasound and technetium Tc 99m sestamibi scanning can be used for preoperative localization of abnormal parathyroid glands in patients with hyperparathyroidism. DESIGN Ultrasound and sestamibi scanning were performed in patients undergoing neck exploration for hyperparathyroidism. If the 2 scans agreed in identifying a single adenoma, and surgery confirmed the loc...
