(1) To examine the ultrasonography (US) characteristics in patients with hemodialysis-related carpal tunnel syndrome (H-CTS) and (2) to evaluate the accuracy of a proposed US parameter-dynamic ratio of median nerve-to-hamate hook distance (RMHD) in diagnosis of H-CTS. A case-control study. A tertiary medical center and a secondary hospital from Nov...

The assessment of kidney size is essential for treating kidney disease. However, there are no reliable and sufficiently robust ultrasonographic reference values or prediction formulas for kidney length in Japanese children, based on a sufficient number of participants. We retrospectively analyzed kidney measurements by ultrasonography in children a...

Diagnosis of parotid gland tumors is sometimes challenging due to their diversity and pleomorphic histological appearance. B-scan sonography along with color-coded duplex sonography is the gold standard in the diagnostic workup of these lesions, whereas histopathology is to date the gold standard for the final diagnosis. To date no single imaging t...

Delayed cerebral ischemia increases mortality and morbidity after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Various techniques are applied to detect cerebral vasospasm and hypoperfusion. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound perfusion imaging (UPI) is able to detect cerebral hypoperfusion in acute ischemic stroke. This prospective study aimed to evaluate t...

Diffuse echogenicity of the pancreas, a commonly discovered finding on endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), is often of undetermined significance. The goal of this study was to characterize the clinical picture and pancreatic function in patients who incidentally present with this endosonographic finding. This was a case-control study comparing consecutive...

OBJECTIVES: In this study of cytomegalovirus (CMV)-infected fetuses with first-trimester seroconversion, we aimed to evaluate the detection of brain abnormalities using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and neurosonography (NSG) in the third trimester, and compare the grading systems of the two modalities. We also evaluated the feasibility of routin...

Ultrasonography (US) plays a major diagnostic role in the pre- and post-transplant evaluation of recipient and donor. In most cases, US remains the only necessary imaging modality. After pediatric kidney transplantation, US can ensure immediate bedside diagnosis of vessel patency and possible postoperative non-vascular complications. Criteria for U...

Neuropathies are commonplace in clinical practice and ultrasound assessment of the peripheral nerves is increasingly becoming a valuable diagnostic tool to support the physical and electrophysiological examinations. In the pertinent literature, several sonographic approaches have been proposed to evaluate the peripheral nerve tissue-mainly based on...
