Splenic infarction is rare in cirrhotic patients. The diagnosis of the condition is based on clinical findings and splenic imaging. In recent years, ultrasonography and computed tomographic scan have gained popularity over the more classical scintigraphy as the preferred investigations for the diagnosis of splenic infarction. We report three cases of splenic infarction in patients with cirrhosi...

Introduction: Chest CT is the gold standard method of diagnostic evaluation patients with pneumonia. Lung sonography has been lately explored as an alternative modality to decrease radiation hazards. This study aimed evaluate ability lung ultrasonography in detecting paediatric pneumonia at presentation and follow up comparing findings chest scan. Methods: A cross-sectional observational was pe...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Nephrolithiasis (LIT) is more prevalent in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) than in the general population. Renal ultrasonography may underdetect renal stones because of difficulties imposed by parenchymal and/or cyst wall calcifications. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS A total of 125 patients with ADPKD underwent ultra...

A young female was brought into the emergency department with pulseless electrical activity (PEA) after local resection of neurofibromateous lesions. Chest ultrasonography was normal. Abdominal ultrasonography was not performed. After successful resuscitation a total body CT-scan was performed to rule out potential bleeding sources. However, haemodynamic instability reoccurred and the scan had ...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to survey the current clinical practice of first-trimester ultrasonography among members of the Korean Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (KSUOG) and to provide basic data for making practical recommendations about first-trimester ultrasonography scan in Korea. METHODS This survey was conducted using a self-administered anonymous questionnaire. The f...

BACKGROUND We designed a simple and integrated diagnostic algorithm for acute pulmonary embolism (PE). Diagnosis was based on clinical probability assessment, plasma D-dimer testing, then sequential testing to include lower limb venous compression ultrasonography, ventilation perfusion lung scan, and chest multidetector CT (MDCT) imaging. METHODS We included 321 consecutive patients presentin...
