When the region of interest included a main hepatic vein, Qontrast-calculated TTP was significantly shorter in cirrhotic patients (vs non-cirrhotics and healthy subjects) (71.0 #xB1; 11.3 s vs 82.4 #xB1; 15.6 s, 86.3 #xB1; 20.3 s, P lt; 0.05). MTTs in the patients with liver ...
Ultrasound examinations were performed using an Aplio i800 (Canon Medical Systems) with an i8CX1 matrix transducer (PVI-475BT, single curved, 1.8–6.2 MHz), enabling a detailed assessment of the liver and kidney parenchyma even in the presence of obesity. Two pediatricians specialized in pediatric...
The sonographic technique was developed through a preliminary evaluation of 20 healthy volunteers. Results The area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve for the diagnosis of cirrhosis (F≥4) with ASQ was 0.77, whereas for the diagnosis of any degree of fibrosis (F≥1) it ...
Treating the liver with focused ultrasound presents a major problem: The organ shifts back and forth during breathing. This increases the risk that theultrasound beampath misses thecancer cellsand instead heats the surrounding healthy tissue too strongly. For this reason, researchers have only applied...
Structural ultrasound of joints and tendons in healthy children: development of normative data Knowledge of reference values of joint structures is indispensable to differentiate between physiological and pathological finding.

An ultrasonographic evaluation of the renal morphology is subjective in veterinary science. The echogenicity and echotexture are compared among the cortex, medulla, liver, and spleen. The purpose of this study was to quantify the renal echogenicity and echotexture of healthy adult horses and mules....

US is a diagnostic tool that is widely used as an adjunct to clinical exams for evaluating thyroid size, anatomy, and parenchymal abnormalities2,16. On US, healthy thyroid gland echogenicity is homogeneous and higher than that of the surrounding muscle17. AITD patients’ thyroids present different...
“Once liver goes into failure, the organ will increase in rigidity by multiple times,” Liu notes. “You can go from a healthy liver as wobbly as a soft-boiled egg, to a diseased liver that is more like a hard-boiled egg,” Zhao adds. “And this sticker can pick up on those diff...
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the application value of score by ultrasound elastography in grading fatty liver. Methods: Seventy-seven patients with fatty liver were enrolled, and 30 patients with proven healthy livers were used as control group. After all patients with conv...
