An ultrasound was performed at the lower part of the rectus abdominis (RA) and demonstrated no significant difference in thickness (Fig. 3). Fig. 3 Ultrasound of the right flank (a), with thickness measurement of the external oblique (EO) at 8.45 mm and of the internal oblique (IO) at...
Traditionally ultrasound—one of the most common and affordable techniques—and CT—more precise than the previous—have been used to assess the presence of fibrosis in the liver, focusing on gross morphological changes of the organ’s architecture [38,40]. Unfortunately, these methods do not allo...
Fig. 2. Sample short-axis ultrasound image at the level of the L3 vertebral body using a low-frequency curvilinear ultrasound transducer demonstrating normal sonographic landmarks for neuraxial blockade; SP = spinous process; L = lamina; TP = transverse process; SC = spinal canal. By contrast...
Screening abdominal ultrasound in asymptomatic individuals is an accurate test, with 95% sensitivity and near 100% specificity to detect aneurysms greater than 3.0 cm [8]. CT and magnetic resonance imaging provide high-resolution imaging of the aorta and determine proximal and distal boundaries of ...
The predictors can be explained by the anatomy of the trunk and existing studies. Elevated transaminases predicted abdominal injury (AI+) and, specifically, the POI+. The pathological MSCT was the most reliable predictive parameter. However, it was essential to include further relevant parameters....
Usually, an ultrasound-guided percutaneous transfemoral access for EVAR should be aimed for even in emergency settings as it is faster than a surgical cut-down. Closure of these large bore holes can be performed using specially designed vascular closure devices. They can be divided into suture-ba...
Effect of recruitment manoeuvres under lung ultrasound-guidance and positive end-expiratory pressure on postoperative atelectasis and hypoxemia in major open upper abdominal surgery: a randomized controlled trial. Heliyon. 2023;9(2):e13348. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e13348. Article ...
Ultrasound result was not diagnostically significant, so an abdominal CT scan with and without contrast was advised, which showed an empty splenic fossa and mildly enlarged ectopic spleen measuring 15.5 cm in length, present in the right lower abdomen extending into pel- vis resting on the ...
Overview of uses of non-radiologist point-of-care ultrasound Of the 39 studies on abdominal non-radiologist point-of-care US, we found 9 studies on the bladder (Table1; [8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16]), 10 on the bowel (Table2; [17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26]), 4 on the ...
Static ultrasound images (US) of OI, and obliquus externus (OE) and transversus abdominis (TrA) were captured on the dominant and non-dominant side in supine. Total combined thickness of OE, OI and TrA muscles was greater on the non-dominant than dominant side (p=0.02) for fast bowlers...
