Background: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is among the most common and destructive diseases in neonatal period. Imaging methods are important early diagnosis treatment of such diseases. Ultrasound elastography (USE) a fast non-invasive imaging technique that deals with viscoelastic properties tissues. Objectives: The purpose this study to assess effectiveness USE, which determines tissue stif...

In comparison to other forms of diagnostic imaging, ultrasound is, in general, quicker, cheaper, and safer. The lack of radiation allows routine use during pregnancy. In comparing this new edition of Taylor's Atlas of Ultrasonography with the former edition, entitled Atlas of Gray Scale Ultrasonography, we see how much the field has expanded since 1978. "Ultrasound" formerly meant "A-mode," a s...

INTRODUCTION Round ligament varicosities (RLV) are not well-known and they are usually caused by pregnancy. Although the groin swelling of RLV mimics an inguinal hernia, it is difficult to distinguish between them through clinical examination alone, and there have been few published reports on this topic, especially from Asia. CASE PRESENTATION A 37-year-old Japanese woman complained of left ...

OBJECTIVE To determine if chronic cerebral venous insufficiency exists in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) using ultrasonography and 4-dimensional color Doppler ultrasonography examination and unverified criteria proposed by Zamboni et al. DESIGN Patients with MS and clinically isolated syndrome were matched by age and sex with subjects with migraine or no neurological disease. All subje...

PURPOSE We aimed to compare the ultrasonographic and laboratory parameters of euthyroid patients who have only positive antithyroid autoantibody test results with those of patients with a hypothyroid status of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-five patients with newly diagnosed HT, 35 euthyroid patients who have autoantibodies against thyroid peroxidase (TPOAb) and/or...

INTRODUCTION Shear wave elastography (SWE) has not been studied for diagnosing appendicitis. We postulated that an inflamed appendix would become stiffer than a normal appendix. We evaluated the elastic modulus values (EMV) by SWE in healthy volunteers, patients without appendicitis, and patients with appendicitis. We also evaluated diagnostic ability of SWE for differentiating an inflamed from...

background: jaw bone quality plays an essential role in treatment planning and prognosis of dental implants. regarding several available methods for bone density measurements, they are not routinely used before implant surgery due to hard accessibility. objective: an in vitro investigation of correlation between average gray scale in direct digital radiographs and hounsfield units in ct-scan pr...

BACKROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate frequency and severity of kidney involvement with some clinical, ultrasonography and color Doppler measurements in patients with Behçet disease. MATERIAL/METHODS This study was including 32 patients with Behçet disease and 32 healthy sex and age-matched control subjects. Patients were divided into two groups as period of disease 0-6 years and 7 ...
