BACKGROUND Peyronie's disease (PD) is characterized by the formation of fibrous tissue plaques within the tunica albuginea, usually causing a penile deformity and a subsequent erectile dysfunction. Diagnosis of PD is based on medical and sexual history, physical examination and imaging examinations, i.e.: ultrasound, color Doppler ultrasound, magnetic resonance and X-ray mammography. MATERIAL...

Case report A case of a 43-year-old woman presenting with acute left flank pain is reported. Method and result Point-of-care ultrasound utilizing color Doppler revealed a twinkling artifact at the left ureterovesicular junction, consistent with a ureterovesicular stone. The sonographic findings and significance of the twinkling artifact are described.

Portal vein thrombosis is a rare but life-threatening complication during pregnancy and postpartum period. Color Doppler ultrasound is useful for prompt diagnosis. Although the risk of complications should be considered, successful pregnancy with comorbid portal vein thrombosis is possible with appropriate anticoagulation therapy and close monitoring.

Introduction: Complications from atherosclerosis can lead to stroke, myocardial infarction, and death. As a result, not only is the detection of atherosclerotic plaques important, an understanding of the formation and progression of lesions is vital. Furthermore, since the artery lumen is exposed to blood, the effects of blood flow, particularly wall stress, should be considered. By using diffe...

BACKGROUND Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a condition with heterogeneous pathophysiology which characterized by fetal weight less than the tenth percentile for gestational age. Several factors have impact on maternal, placental and fetal due to growth restriction. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between levels of leptin in the cord, and serum leptin of m...

Background: Prediction of adverse perinatal and postnatal outcomes could be possible by using ultrasound Doppler evaluation, however there are some controversies regarding this issue in the literature. The goal of present study was to evaluate predictive value of Doppler indices in single and twin pregnancies during second trimester. Materials and Methods: This prospective study was conducted i...

Suture granuloma is a mass forming benign lesion that develops at the site of surgery as a foreign body reaction to non-absorbable suture material. We present a case of suture granuloma that developed at the inguinal region after orchiectomy, and define the sonography, color Doppler sonography and real-time ultrasound elastography findings in correlation with the histopathological findings.

Financial support: None Conflict of interest: None ABSTRACT Dermatologists have recently been incorporating diagnostic imaging techniques in the investigation of cutaneous lesions. The development of ultrasound devices with a frequency greater than 15MHz has led to the creation of the high-frequency ultrasound (HFUS), which enables the identification of the skin’s different layers and structure...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Small-vessel knock is a recently reported Doppler ultrasound finding that has been identified in patients with cerebral ischemia. It has been hypothesized that knock-type signals are linked to the presence of either small-vessel occlusion or wall motion. The aim of this study was to investigate the origins of "knock-type" signals by reproducing occlusion of a peripheral a...

Background and aims. Although salivary gland tumors are not very common, early diagnosis and treatment is crucial because of their proximity to vital organs, and therefore, determining the efficacy of new imaging procedures becomes important. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and color doppler ultrasonography parameters in the diagnosis and differenti...
