Recent advances in reproductive medicine have created a demand for more accurate and safe imaging modalities before assisted reproductive treatment(ART) (1). Gradually, the important role of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography in the diagnosis of uterine congenital anomalies has been proved (2-4).

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical value and reproducibility of laser Doppler (LD) versus photoplethysmography (PPG) in the measurement of the systolic toe blood pressure. METHODS Toe blood pressure was measured in 60 patients in different stages of peripheral vascular disease with simultaneous digital sampling of PPG and two LD signals, each with a different fil...

Background: Percutaneous treatment has been widely used in low flow vascular malformations. However, surgery still an important role the management of these patients.Objective: The aim this study is to assess indications for malformations, as well safety, efficacy, and recurrence rate.Patients Methods: A total 33 patients with malformations were enrolled study. Duplex ultrasonography magnetic r...

Contrast harmonic endoscopic ultrasonography (CH-EUS) is a novel form of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) that utilizes intravenous contrast agents to characterize the vasculature inside an organ of interest with a broadband transducer that can detect harmonic signals.[1,2] These contrast agents initially played a major role in echocardiography, enhancing the power of ultrasonography to image c...

s:865:"We read with interest the manuscript entitled "Serum and peritoneal fluid levels of vascular endothelial growth factor in women with endometriosis" recently published in the International Journal of Fertility and Sterility (1). The authors measured the levels of vascular endothelial growth factor in serum and peritoneal fluid of 179 women, 90 of whom were diagnosed with endometriosis, an...

This article has been prepared on the basis of the Ultrasonography Standards of the Polish Ultrasound Society (2011) and updated based on the latest findings and reports. Various applications of ultrasonography are used in anesthesiology and intensive therapy both for diagnosis and as a supportive tool during invasive procedures (such as vascular cannulation or regional anesthesia). Ultrasound ...

Scrotal masses are caused by a variety of disorders, ranging from benign conditions to those requiring emergent surgical intervention. Painful scrotal masses require urgent evaluation. Characteristics that suggest testicular torsion include rapid symptom onset, nausea and vomiting, high position of the testicle, and abnormal cremasteric reflex. Doppler ultrasonography or surgical exploration is...
