Furthermore, it provides quantitative values for the maximum and mean velocity of blood flow as well as a percentage value for turbulence. The aim was to enhance the preoperative diagnostic accuracy of thyroid lesions by combining V-flow with established ultrasound modes.B-mode, CCDS, elastography, CEUS, and V-flow were performed on 101 patients. After the ultrasound examination, every nodule was confirmed as benign or malignant via histopathology. The Kruskal-Wallis test, ROC curve, and binary logistic regression were used for the statistical analysis.93 benign regressive thyroid nodules and 8 carcinomas were included in this study. The average mean velocity value for benign lesions was measured at 19.5 cm/s and at 10.7 cm/s for malignant lesions (p = 0.039). The average turbulence percentage was 26.1% for benign nodules and 46.7% for carcinomas (p = 0.016). Carcinomas exhibited a slower and more turbulent perfusion pattern compared to benign tumors. A V-flow-centered system achieves a sensitivity of 100.0% and a specificity of 84.9% in predicting malignancy. This system could have reduced the number of unnecessary thyroid surgeries for benign lesions in our patient group by 70%.The capillary perfusion of thyroid nodules represents a significant indicator of its status. By analyzing the velocity and turbulence level of microvascular blood flow, V-flow offers promising prospects for accurately distinguishing between benign and malignant thyroid lesions. When integrated into a comprehensive multimodal sonographic imaging approach, V-flow further enhances diagnostic accuracy. · V-flow allows for qualitative and quantitative analysis of microvascular perfusion. · Malignant tumors are associated with slower and more turbulent microvascular hemodynamics. · Combining V-flow with other ultrasound modes eases the diagnosis of thyroid carcinomas. · Brandenstein MK, Zhang L, Scharf G et al.

The reason for that may be confined to the co-existence of two closely neighbored but different anatomical structures (i.e., tooth-forming apparatus and jaw bones with adjacent gingiva) and some tumour pathologies which are nearly excusively encountered in the jaw bones only (e.g., ameloblastoma, ossifying fibroma, ghost cell carcinoma).This paper would like to highlight some basic principles of the diagnostic approach and possibilities of radiological differentiation of such tumour-suspicious changes within the gnathic system are elucidated and discussed.The paper presented here is substantially based on the most recent classification of odontogenic and maxillofacial tumours (5<sup>th</sup> edition, 2022) which serves as a scaffold for the selection of typical tumour entities. Due to the educational character of this paper, only important jaw tumours worth mentioning and their characteristics are subject to be extracted from the literature and further discussed.The main focus was put onto both the description of radiological tumoral appearance and the rational selection of a radiological diagnostic work-up. In order to better visualize this difficult field of tumour entities, much attention has been paid on a comprehensive pictorial essay.For radiologists, it is their foremast task to detect, describe, and to classify bone tumours of the jaw when they are found intentionally or accidentally, resp. A close co-operation with their clinical partners is of upmost importance to gain information about patient's history and clinical presentation. It is readily reasonable that radiologists are mostly able to provide only a suggestion of the presented tumour entity but this expert opinion would be very helpful to further narrow down the list of potential differential diagnoses (e.g., differentiation of a cyst vs. solid tumour osteolysis, identification of jaw osteomyelitis vs. tumoral infiltration, recognizing of secondary tumour involvement of the jaw). · primary bone tumours of the jaw are very rare, moreover difficult to differentiate radiologically, and do need therefore histological proof;. · profound knowledge about tumour characteristics (location within the jaw, relationship to the tooth, bony destructive pattern) may allow a rough orientation and classification;. · matrix-forming tumours and dysplasias of the jaw facilitates their radiological differentiation and classification;. · in contrary, osteolyses should be thoroughly scrutinized for the more frequent gnathic cysts in differentiation of rather rare solid primary tumours;. · an interdisciplinary round-table discussion amongst well-experienced maxillofacial surgeons and specialized radiologists may be appropriate to avoid severe misinterpretations.. · Grieser T, Hirsch E, Tödtmann","PeriodicalId":21490,"journal":{"name":"Rofo-fortschritte Auf Dem Gebiet Der Rontgenstrahlen Und Der Bildgebenden Verfahren","volume":" ","pages":"397-415"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142717039","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}
