There are currently several methods available to test the degree of steatosis in NAFLD patients, but ...
Nowadays, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is an imaging technique equivalent to multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for detecting and characterising focal liver lesions. For accidentally detected or benign lesions, CEUS is the method of choice. In unclear ...

Introduction Conventional ultrasound (US) is the most common imaging investigation of the liver. The ability of US to visualise focal liver lesions (FLLs) can be limited by technical factors, patient characteristics, and operator experience. The aim of this study was to determine the percentage ...
Trout and team’s cross-sectional study registered 56 overweight and obese adolescents and adults (≥16 years) who underwent investigational ultrasound (ACUSON Sequoia; deep abdominal transducer) and MRI examinations of the liver during a single visit from August to October 2020. Ultrasound exami...

(US) shows the first-line option for fetal imaging, the rapid development of ultrafast MRI sequences has facilitated the tremendous improvement in fetus imaging, which is now regarded as an excellent modality for charactering fetal structures and relevant pathology and a supplementary to US when ...
MRIs and ultrasounds are considered the safer options for pregnant women needing imaging, and MRIs without contrast are preferable. PET scans would not be the first choice for a pregnant or breastfeeding woman due to radiation exposure. But again, if there is a clinical need, the decision ...
