Abstract Background Assurance of proper endotracheal tube (ETT) location is crucial immediately after intubation as undiagnosed esophageal can be catastrophic. The primary purpose for this study to determine the diagnostic accuracy evaluate an inclusive three-window ultrasonography assessment rapid authentication position in intensive care unit (RICU) with reference Co 2 monitors (capnography) ...

Recently, there have been several major technical advances in the sonographic diagnosis of ovarian cancer in its early stages. These include improved assessment of tumor morphology with transvaginal sonography (TVS), and detection and characterization of tumor neovascularity with transvaginal color Doppler sonography (TV-CDS) and contrast-enhanced transvaginal sonography (CE-TVS). This paper wi...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Abdominal sonography is regarded as a quick and effective diagnostic tool for acute abdominal pain in emergency medicine. However, final diagnosis is usually based on a combination of various clinical examinations and radiography. The role of sonography in the decision making process at a hospital with advanced imaging capabilities versus a hospital with limited imag...

1695 he central focus of carotid Doppler sonography studies is the detection and characterization of atherosclerotic disease and stenosis. Doppler sonography samples are used primarily to quantify velocity elevations at sites of stenosis. However, more subtle clues to disease are contained in the shape and contour of the Doppler sonography waveform itself. Aberrations of waveform morphology can...

Background: Thrombosis of parametrial veins are rarely diagnosed by transvaginal sonography. The clinical importance vein thrombosis is not known. We present the first fully documented case pelvic varicosities with non-occlusive resulting in subsequent development pain that alleviated resolution thrombus. Case report: a perimenopausal woman underwent sonography for routine check-up. patient su...
