Each nodule was classified according to K-TIRADS. S-Detect software was utilized for intelligent analysis. CEUS was employed to acquire contrast-enhanced features.Results: The area under curve (AUC) values for diagnosing benign and malignant thyroid nodules using K-TIRADS alone, S-Detect software alone, CEUS alone, the combined application of K-TIRADS and CEUS, the combined application of S-Detect software and CEUS were 0.668, 0.668, 0.719, 0.741, and 0.759, respectively (p < 0.001). The sensitivity rate of S-Detect software was 89.9% (p < 0.001). It was the highest of the five diagnostic methods above.Conclusion: The utilization of S-Detect software can be served as a powerful tool for early screening. Notably, the combined utilization of S-Detect software with CEUS demonstrates superior diagnostic performance compared to employing K-TIRADS, S-Detect software, CEUS used individually, as well as the combined application of K-TIRADS with CEUS.","PeriodicalId":15386,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Ultrasound","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142132792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Demographic and obstetric histories, ultrasonographic and clinical characteristics, fetal EFT and mod-MPI values, and neonatal outcomes of the groups were recorded, and comparisons were made between the groups. Additionally, the diagnostic performance of fetal EFT value in late FGR was investigated.Results: The FGR group had fetal EFT that was statistically significantly lower (1.11 ± 0.21 vs. 1.34 ± 0.23, p = 0.001). The FGR group had a significantly lower isovolumetric contraction time (ICT) (31.04 ± 6.88 vs. 35.14 ± 7.58, p = 0.048). The two groups' isovolumetric relaxation time (IRT), ejection time (ET), and mod-MPI values (p values 0.871, 0.55, and 0.750, respectively) were comparable. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis at a cutoff of 1.2 revealed 76.1% sensitivity and 74.2% specificity, respectively, for the diagnostic performance of the fetal EFT value in late-onset FGR. There was a positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of 64.0% and 83.8%, respectively.Conclusion: We found that fetal EFT was significantly lower in FGR and may be useful in diagnosing FGR.

Therefore, we aimed to compare readout-segmented echo-planar imaging (rs-EPI) to ss-EPI and assess its value in the differential diagnosis of vertebral infectious, tumoral infiltrative, and degenerative disorders.Materials and methods: Sixty-six adult patients with spondylodiscitis (SD, n = 26), tumoral infiltration (TI, n = 20), or Modic type I degeneration (DE, n = 20) findings on spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) included in this retrospective study. Two radiologists scored images for quality on a 4-point scale (image resolution, degree of geometric distortion, lesion selectivity, and diagnostic reliability) and measured signal intensity (SI), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR). DE and SD groups also united to form the benign group.Results: In all groups, rs-EPI performed better than ss-EPI in image quality, SNR, and CNR (p < 0.05). The difference between mean pathological ADC (ADCP) in the two sequences was statistically significant (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of ADCP in rs-EPI (p = 0.229), unlike ss-EPI (p = .025). Pathological SI (SIP) and CNR in rs-EPI were significantly higher in the malignant group than benign group (p = 0.002, p < 0.001). In rs-EPI, no significant difference was found between malignant and benign groups' ADCP (p = 0.13).Conclusion: The rs-EPI is a diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) method with higher image quality that diminishes motion-induced phase errors and increases resolution through phase corrections. However, the distinction of malignant and benign vertebral bone marrow pathologies is unsatisfactory for rs-EPI compared with ss-EPI.","PeriodicalId":15386,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Ultrasound","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142093213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However not all answers are direct, and sometimes the variant categorization is dependent on the acumen and agreement of all those involved in the process.
