Objective- This survey was accomplished to describe the hepatic artery and portal vein indices in healthy domestic cats by color Doppler ultrasonography technique. Design- Retrospective experimental study. Animals- Twenty domestic short hair (DSH) cats (10 males and 10 females). Procedures- Doppler indices of ...

Twenty harpy eagles (Harpia harpyja) without systemic or ocular diseases were examined to measure blood velocity parameters of the pectinis oculi artery using Doppler ultrasonography. Pectinate artery resistive index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI) were investigated using ocular Doppler ultrasonography. The mean RI and PI values across all eyes were 0.44±0.10 and 0.62±0.20 respectively. Low RI ...

Two multigravidae aged 27 and 29 years, with previous uneventful pregnancies, second being psoriatic, reported at 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancies, with generalized pustular lesions. Laboratory findings, including serum calcium were normal. Ultrasonography showed normal fetal growth. Histopathology confirmed pustular psoriasis. Patients were put on cyclosporine 3 mg/ kg weight/ day after failure ...

Ultrasonography provides some criteria which help the physicians decide whether a certain solid tumor is benign or malignant. However, it is one of the most difficult types of images to assess. The automatic segmentation and analysis of ultrasonography can help the physicians by providing some techniques and measures to classify the tumors. In this paper, we present a new approach in the segmen...

ABSTRACT The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the palmar plantar digital arteries of 10 horses mules through B-mode spectral Doppler ultrasound. Likewise, pelvic limbs with thoracic limbs, in addition verifying differences contralateral (right left) using ultrasonography. evaluated parameters were diameter intima-media thickness (IMT), resistivity index (RI), pulsatility (PI), peak s...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to validate a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of flow-diverter treatment through Doppler ultrasonography measurements in patient-specific models of intracranial bifurcation and side-wall aneurysms. METHODS Computational and physical models of patient-specific bifurcation and sidewall aneurysms were constructed from computed tomography angiograph...

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To assess the accuracy of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. METHODOLOGY A prospective randomized study was carried in the Dept. of Radiology and Imaging, Tribhuvan University, Teaching Hospital, Maharajgunj, Kathmandu, Nepal. A total of 120 patients, who were clinically diagnosed as acute appendicitis were subjected to ultrasonography of the abdomen. ...

Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is a leading indication for performing critical care ultrasonography (CCUS) which, in these patients, combines critical care echocardiography (CCE) and chest ultrasonography. CCE is ideally suited to guide the diagnostic work-up in patients presenting with ARF since it allows the assessment of left ventricular filling pressure and pulmonary artery pressure, and t...

Introduction: performing anal endosonography in complex fistula-in-ano allows us to design a personalized surgical strategy in each case, thereby improving results. However, there are doubts in the literature as to its utility in recurrent complex fistulas. The aim of this study was to compare the utility of anal ultrasonography in the study of primary versus recurrent complex fistula-inano. Pa...

OBJECTIVE The clinical management of patients with thyroid nodules that are biopsied by fine-needle aspiration cytology and yield indeterminate results remains unsettled. The BRAF V600E mutation has dubious diagnostic value due to its low sensitivity. Novel strategies are urgently needed to distinguish thyroid malignancies from thyroid nodules. DESIGN This prospective study included 504 thyro...
