Abstract
In this series of papers on comments and illustrations of the World Federation for Medicine and Biology (WFUMB) guidelines on contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) the topics of parasitic and fungus infections are discussed. Improved detection and characterization of common focal liver lesions (FLL) are the main topics of these guidelines but detailed and illustrating information is missing. The focus in this paper on infectious (parasitic and fungus) focal liver lesions is on their appearance on B-mode and Doppler ultrasound and CEUS features. Knowledge of these data should help to raise awareness of these rarer findings, to think of these clinical pictures in the corresponding clinical situation, to interpret the ultrasound images correctly and thus to initiate the appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic steps in time.
本系列论文对世界医学与生物学联合会(WFUMB)造影剂增强超声(CEUS)指南的评论和图解进行了讨论,主题是寄生虫和真菌感染。改进常见肝局灶病变(FLL)的检测和定性是这些指南的主要议题,但缺少详细的说明信息。本文对感染性(寄生虫和真菌)肝局灶性病变的重点是其在 B 型和多普勒超声中的表现以及 CEUS 特征。对这些数据的了解应有助于提高对这些罕见病变的认识,在相应的临床情况下考虑这些临床图片,正确解读超声图像,从而及时启动适当的诊断和治疗步骤。
期刊介绍:
The journal aims to promote ultrasound diagnosis by publishing papers in a variety of categories, including editorial letters, original papers, review articles, pictorial essays, technical developments, case reports, letters to the editor or occasional special reports (fundamental, clinical as well as methodological and educational papers).
The papers published cover the whole spectrum of the applications of diagnostic medical ultrasonography, including basic science and therapeutic applications.
The journal hosts information regarding the society''s activities, scheduling of accredited training courses in ultrasound diagnosis, as well as the agenda of national and international scientific events.
