For the improvement of the ability in detecting small calcifications using Ultrasonography (US) we propose a novel indicator of calcifications in an ultrasound B-mode image without decrease in frame rate. Since the waveform of an ultrasound pulse changes at a calcification position, the decorrelation of adjacent scan lines occurs behind a calcification. Therefore, we employ the decorrelation of...

Background: Abdominal trauma following road traffic accident is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among all age groups. Imaging such as ultrasonography (USG) computed tomography (CT) scan plays critical role in the evaluation these patients. The accuracy CT hemodynamically stable blunt patients has been well-established. Aims Objectives: Assessment usefulness USG diagnosing abdominal w...

We showed the utility of first trimester ultrasonography before 11 weeks of gestation for antenatal followup. We retrospectively analyzed 1295 records of patients who underwent first trimester ultrasonography (transvaginal/abdominal) in our antenatal clinic in Ankara, Turkey. Maternal age, parity, gestational age, and maternal gestational history were compared with ultrasonographic findings. Pa...

Ultrasonography, computed tomography and 99mTc liver scanning are all useful in diagnosis of patients with the Budd-Chiari syndrome. In a study to determine their comparative value characteristic findings were recorded in all nine patients at ultrasonography and in seven patients at computed tomography. In contrast 99mTc liver scan showed a characteristic pattern in only one of eight patients. ...

We report a case of serial occurrence different type II endoleak from inferior mesenteric artery and lumbar artery. Despite repeated interventions, gradually expanding aneurysmal sac was eventually followed by impending rupture. In the end, patient required open repair that revealed Ib which is not identified in CT scan or ultrasonography previously. The has been without any specific findings f...

This study is undertaken to emphasize the role of ultrasonography in diagnosis ectopic pregnancy and clinicalanalysis same a tertiary care referral hospital.MethodologyOne hundred patients with provisional were studied. Physical examination, urinepregnancy test, transabdominal scan using 5 MHz transducer or transvaginal 7 was done. Thediagnosis confirmed by direct observation laparotomy laparos...

Sequential development of extradural hematoma (EDH) during decompressive craniotomy and evacuation for acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) causing massive brain bulge is rare, it may represent to be first indication of hematoma development. About thirty seven cases are published in the form of isolated case report till date. Management is debated, as first to carry out exploratory burr-hole or neces...

BACKGROUND Suprachoroidal gas injection has been reported as a complication of pneumatic retinopexy, and the usefulness of B-scan ultrasonography has been reported. A case of suprachoroidal gas injection as a complication of pars plana vitrectomy confirmed by computed tomography (CT) is presented here. METHODS A 64-year-old woman developed a vitreous hemorrhage due to a retinal tear secondary...

Our consensus-based strategy in the diagnostic management of patients with pulmonary embolism involves a perfusion lung scan, a ventilation lung scan, compression ultrasonography and pulmonary angiography, in sequence. We compared the diagnostic approach in patients with clinically suspected pulmonary embolism before the active implementation of this strategy (retrospective analysis of 618 pati...
