LETTERS Sonography as a replacement for sialography for the diagnosis of salivary glands affected by Sjögren's syndrome Recently, it has been suggested that sono-graphic evaluation of the salivary glands is useful in the diagnosis of Sjögren's syndrome. Kawamura et al and, more recently, Ariji et al, showed that descriptive and quantitative assessment of the salivary glands by sonogra-phy effic...

Objective The purpose of this study was to establish an association between the body mass index (BMI) group and anatomical gallbladder position aid novices in sonography. Methods This a cross-sectional, Strengthening Reporting Observational Studies Epidemiology (STROBE)-compliant that examined gender BMI with quantitative measurements from computed tomography (CT) scans. Results A analysis dete...

All fulfilling inclusion criteria Krishna Hospital & Medical Research Centre, Karad were included which conducted from December 2019 July 2021. clinically lump underwent ultrasound elastography correlated diagnosi...

Doppler sonographic criteria for assessing peripheral lymph nodes ! Introduction B-mode criteria provide the foundation for the sonographic identification of peripheral lymph nodes as normal or pathological and for differential diagnosis. “Sonography of Peripheral Lymph Nodes Part 1: Normal Findings and B-Image Criteria” therefore provides a comprehensive description of the sonographic appearan...

PURPOSE We assessed the role of preoperative sonohysterography in the diagnosis of intrauterine synechiae. METHODS Nineteen patients with a suspected diagnosis of intrauterine adhesion underwent hysterosalpingography, transvaginal sonography, and sonohysterography performed in the consultation room. The patients were then treated by hysteroscopy under laparoscopic or ultrasound guidance. RE...

Twenty-one adult male patients with 24 intracranial neoplasms were studied with intraoperative sonography and preoperative computed tomography (CT). Both methods defined the lesions, but the characteristic appearances were different. Sonography was more effective than CT in determining whether a lesion was cystic, with or without septations, or solid. Most importantly, sonography was an intraop...

Advanced technology and increasing clinical experience have established sonography as a reliable imaging modality for sports-related injuries. Tears of muscles and tendons, tendinosis, and tenosynovitis are promptly diagnosed using ultrasound. Dynamic assessment of joints can be performed, allowing diagnoses of conditions that may remain undetected when evaluated with conventional magnetic reso...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare CT and sonography for monitoring radiofrequency (RF) lesions in porcine livers. SUBJECTS AND METHODS RF lesions (n = 12) were created in three pig livers by applying 13 min of current to a multielectrode RF probe with a target temperature of 95 degrees C. Helical unenhanced CT and corresponding axial sonography were performed before ablatio...

BACKGROUND For infiltrative breast lesions; sonography might not always be as helpful as mammography and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). For higher sensitivity and specificity, these 3 imaging methods should be carried out together. Radiologists should be aware of the patient's history and complaints. Patients who have a specific history like a long-term drug treatment or a palpable tumour sh...

Cranial sonograms of six children with brain tumors (one newborn, four infants, and one 4-year-old child) are presented. In four, sonography showed a large tumor mass and displacement of adjacent structures. In two, the tumors were demonstrated as areas of abnormal brain parenchymal echogenicity without obvious mass effect. Two of the tumors were diffusely echogenic, one was primarily cystic, a...
