V magistrski nalogi je preučena uporabnost ultrazvoka za zaznavanje notranjih anomalij v stoječih drevesih. V sestoju so bila z ultrazvokom izmerjena drevesa bukve in smreke ter popisane njihove zunanje značilnosti. Na licitaciji vrednejših sortimentov so bili z ultrazvokom izmerjeni sortimenti gorskega javorja z in brez rebraste teksture. Preizkuš...

Chronic kidney disease continues to be under recognised and is associated with a significant global health burden and costs. An adverse intrauterine environment may result in a depleted nephron number and an increased risk of chronic kidney disease. Antenatal ultrasound was used to measure the foetal renal parenchymal thickness (RPT), as a novel me...

Polymeric nanoparticles are being intensively investigated as drug carriers. Their efficiency could be enhanced if the drug release can be triggered using an external stimulus such as ultrasound. This approach is possible using current commercial apparatus that combine focused ultrasound with MRI to perform ultrasonic surgery. In this approach, nan...

The aim of this study was to describe a method of subcutaneous ureteral bypass (SUB) device placement with intraoperative ultrasound guidance, with or without microsurgical ureterotomy, for the treatment of benign ureteral obstruction(s) in cats. A secondary aim was to describe the complications and outcomes in our population, and compare the two g...

Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a chronic venous insufficiency manifestation following an episode of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT). It is an important and frequent long-term adverse event of proximal DVT affecting 20-50% of patients. This position paper integrates data guiding clinicians in deciding PTS diagnosis, treatment and follow-up.
Increasing radiology capacity in low-income countries (LIC) can improve clinicians’ access to diagnostic imaging tools and improve patient care. Ultrasound (US) is important in LIC due to its lower cost compared to that of CT or MRI scans and its excellent diagnostic ability. The relative portability of the equipment makes it ideal for donation by ...

Common complications of cholelithiasis include gallbladder inflammation, cholangitis, and acute pancreatitis. On the other hand, rare complications include gallbladder carcinoma, gallstone ileus, Mirizzi syndrome and gallbladder perforation. Some patients with cholecystitis do not require hospitalization. It is of key importance for proper further ...

From the clinical point of view, a proper diagnosis of spigelian, inguinal and femoral hernias may be relevant for orienting the patient’s management, as these conditions carry a different risk of complications and require specific approaches and treatments. Imaging may play a significant role in the diagnostic work-up of patients with suspected ab...

Ultrasound-guided injection of the shoulder via the rotator interval can be challenging. The procedure is used for arthrograms, hydrodilatation and intra-articular glenohumeral joint injections. The conventional approach to the rotator interval is from lateral to medial. However, the placement of the needle in the target zone i.e. between the corac...

Introduction: Percutaneous ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy is a well-established method in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal tumors. It is unclear which factors contribute the most to a successful biopsy. The aim of the study was to determine the value of ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy of solid lesions in the musculoskeletal system using ...
