Ultrasound (US) Conventional transabdominal gray-scale B-mode US is often the first radiological assessment performed to evaluate the pancreas given its great availability, low cost, and lack of ionizing radiation [21,22,23]. While US is seldom useful in early-stage detection of CP, common panc...
-of-care US exams as inconclusive [39]. Surveys that reported the state of non-radiologist point-of-care ultrasound use and training in paediatric medicine We identified eight survey studies, published between 2008 and 2018. All aimed to evaluate current state of non-radiologist point-of-care U...
Abdominal ultrasound, that has the advantage of being portable, may be helpful in the evaluation of right upper quadrant (e.g. perihepatic abscess, cholecystitis, pancreatitis), right lower quadrant, and pelvic pathology (e.g. appendicitis, tubo-ovarian abscess, Douglas abscess), but the examinat...
The ultrasound probe can be angled to ensure that measurements are made perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the aorta. AAA is defined usually as an external aortic diameter ≥3 cm, although an internal aortic diameter of ≥3 cm has been used in some circumstances (see below). The ...
the utility of the markers to predict neurological symptoms within the near future needs to be further investigated. The utility of a combination of the above four markers together with ultrasound plaque features [47] to predict neurological symptoms needs to be prospectively tested in a cohort unde...
