Seventy-four cases of amoebic liver abscess (ALA) have been examined by ultrasound and of these, seven presented as mass lesions which were partly or predominantly hyperechoic. Follow-up scans after a course of metronidazole showed that the appearances in four of the six patients had changed to...
Patients with a testicular mass are usually investigated by ultrasound and the ultrasound appearances have been correlated with the histology. The authors describe two patients with Leydig cell tumours. The first had bilateral tumours which although histologically typical of Leydig cell tumours, had diffe...
In colonic diverticulitis, all 5 cases appeared as hyperechoic hemispheric mass covering the inflamed diverticulum. HIFT are a usual US finding in patients with acute abdomen, particularly on abdominal and pelvic inflammatory conditions, and they appear with characteristic shape and location in each ...

Objectives: To evaluate whether the ultrasound appearance of the deltoid muscle in diabetic patients differs from that in obese nondiabetic patients. Methods: Ultrasound images of the deltoid muscle from 137 type 2 diabetic patients (including 13 prediabetic patients) and 49 obese nondiabetic patients...
Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic value of measuring relative echogenecity of mass to renal sinus and cortex in differentiating small renal cell carcinomas from angiomyolipomas on PACS system. Materials and Methods 37 RCCs and 39 AMLS less than 3cm belonged to this study. AMLs were diveded ...
