Initially, there had been visible bruising which was absent by the time he visited the ultrasound (US) examination room. However, the swelling was still present on the dorsal side of his right foot. There was not any instability of the ankle. The US transducer was placed on the dorsal side of his right foot [Figure 1a] and gradually moved to the plantar surface [Figure 1b]. US image of the unaffected/asymptomatic side is given in Figure 2. Based on these findings, what is your suggestive diagnosis?Figure 1: Ultrasound imaging of the right anterolateral (a) and inferolateral (b) ankle.

Black arrowheads: Lateral root of the inferior extensor retinaculum, black arrowheads: Intermediate root of the inferior extensor retinaculum, white arrowheads: Medial root of the inferior extensor retinaculum, T: talus, EDL: Extensor digitorum longus tendonINTERPRETATION In this case, US examination of the right ankle revealed normal anterior talofibular and calcaneofibular ligaments. However, the inferior extensor retinaculum appeared thickened and showed a loss of fibrillary patterns, particularly in its lateral root [Figure 1]. The extensor digitorum longus tendon seemed to be normal. Herewith, the left inferior extensor retinaculum maintained its fibrillary pattern and was thinner compared to the right side [Figure 2]. The diagnosis of an inferior extensor retinaculum injury was confirmed. Subsequently, the patient underwent physical therapy, including US diathermy and transcutaneous electrical stimulation. After 1 month of treatment, the patient’s pain subsided. As the patient experienced substantial symptom improvement after treatment, a follow-up US examination for the affected ankle was not scheduled. DISCUSSION The ankle region harbors three main retinacula. The anterior retinaculum covers the anterior aspect of the ankle and consists of the superior and inferior extensor retinacula.[1] The lateral aspect of the ankle is protected by the superior and inferior peroneal retinacula, while the medial ankle is reinforced by the flexor retinaculum. These retinacula are thickened extensions of the crural fascia, a connective tissue that surrounds the muscles of the lower leg. Their primary function is to stabilize the tendons of the ankle and foot. Since the anterior aspect of the ankle is more susceptible to traumatic injuries, pathologies involving the superior and inferior extensor retinacula are theoretically more common as compared to the flexor and peroneal retinacula. In this particular case, the ","PeriodicalId":45466,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Ultrasound","volume":"26 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135874383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, the diagnosis, here, is gallbladder perforation. Furthermore, we can see a hyperechoic focus in the lumen of the gallbladder showing posterior acoustic shadowing [Figure 1], which is consistent with the diagnosis of cholelithiasis. Perforation of the gallbladder is a rare entity with devastating consequences and risk to life. Various causes of perforation include idiopathic, traumatic, iatrogenic, cholelithiasis, infections, steroid use, and uncontrolled diabetes. These patients are predisposed to this condition.[1] Patients with gallbladder perforation present with acute pain without any known cause. The pain is usually starts in the right hypochondrium and then spreads to whole of the abdomen. The pain aggravates on movement and relieved by rest. The patient also has tenderness, rigidity, and guarding which are also the signs of peritonitis. Other symptoms with which patient can present include nausea and vomiting. Spectrum of ultrasound finding includes gallbladder distension, pericholecystic fluid, and sonographic hole sign which has a very high specificity for diagnosis.[2] CT is considered a superior modality than ultrasound due to its ability to show focal wall defect. It also shows extraluminal gallstones as well as Mercedes-Benz sign (gas within gallstones) along with location and extent of abscess due to perforation.[3] Declaration of patient consent The authors certify that they have obtained all appropriate patient consent forms.

This syndrome encompasses various pathological changes of the piriformis muscle, such as those caused by myofascial pain, anatomical variations, muscle hypertrophy, trauma, and any external condition that causes pain similar to PS. PS can arise from a range of lesions, including herniated or degenerative lumbar discs, lumbar facet syndrome, trochanteric bursitis, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, and endometriosis.[1] The management of PS typically begins with pharmacotherapy and physical therapy. When the conservative regimen fails, injection can be applied to the piriformis muscle to relieve pain.[2] Piriformis muscle injections were conventionally performed without image guidance in clinics by physicians. However, due to the muscle's small size, deep location, and proximity to critical neurovascular structures, using image guidance has been suggested to enhance accuracy and minimize risk.[3] Beaton and Anson explained six distinct anatomical configurations involving the relationship between the sciatic nerve and the piriformis muscle. In >80% of the population, the sciatic nerve passes deep and exits inferiorly to the inferior edge of the muscle belly/tendon.[4] The success rate of blind injections is generally low, as evidenced by the various techniques that utilize different landmarks. A study conducted on cadavers comparing ultrasound-guided versus fluoroscopically-guided piriformis injections revealed a success rate of 95% with ultrasound guidance, whereas only a 30% success rate was observed with fluoroscopic guidance.[3] Identifying the piriformis muscle through palpation of anatomical landmarks can be challenging. We recommend a four-step ultrasound-guided approach for the piriformis muscle. To find the piriformis muscle easily under ultrasound guidance, the patient is positioned prone, and the lumbosacral area is aseptically prepared for injection. Using a low-frequency curvilinear probe, the transverse plane is examined with the medial border of the probe positioned on the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS). All steps are performed by using the transverse ultrasonographic view: Step 1: The transducer is positioned transversely on the PSIS [Figure 1a] Step 2: The transducer is moved laterally until the iliac cortex and gluteus Maximus muscle are appeared [Figure 1b]. The iliac bone appears as a hyperechoic structure (curved line) Step 3: At this level, the transducer is moved in the caudal direction toward to obtain the axial sonographic view of the sciatic notch [Figure 1c]. Using Doppler imaging, the inferior gluteal artery can be visualized close to the sciatic nerve, while the superior gluteal artery is situated between the gluteus Maximus muscle and the piriformis muscle [Figure 1d] Step 4: Next, one end of the transducer is directed toward the greater trochanter to obtain the piriformis muscle.

With recent technological developments in the FUS technology and its monitoring/guided techniques such as ultrasound-guided FUS and magnetic resonance-guided FUS (MRgFUS) the need for TMPs are more important than ever to ensure the safety of the patients before being treated with FUS for a variety of diseases (e.g., cancer or neurological). The purpose of this study was to prepare a tumor-mimicking phantom (TUMP) model that can simulate competently a tumor that is surrounded by healthy tissue. Methods: The TUMP models were prepared using polyacrylamide (PAA) and agar solutions enriched with MR contrast agents (silicon dioxide and glycerol), and the thermosensitive component bovine serum albumin (BSA) that can alter its physical properties once thermal change is detected, therefore offering real-time visualization of the applied FUS ablation in the TUMPs models. To establish if these TUMPs are good candidates to be used in thermoablation, their thermal properties were characterized with a custom-made FUS system in the laboratory and a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) setup with MR-thermometry. The BSA protein's coagulation temperature was adjusted at 55°C by setting the pH of the PAA solution to 4.5, therefore simulating the necrosis temperature of the tissue. Results: The experiments carried out showed that the TUMP models prepared by PAA can change color from transparent to cream-white due to the BSA protein coagulation caused by the thermal stress applied. The TUMP models offered a good MRI contrast between the TMPs and the TUMPs including real-time visualization of the ablation area due to the BSA protein coagulation. Furthermore, the T2 -weighted MR images obtained showed a significant change in T2 when the BSA protein is thermally coagulated. MR thermometry maps demonstrated that the suggested TUMP models may successfully imitate a tumor that is present in soft tissue. Conclusion: The TUMP models developed in this study have numerous uses in the testing and calibration of FUS equipment including the simulation and validation of thermal therapy treatment plans with FUS or MRgFUS in oncology applications.","PeriodicalId":45466,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Ultrasound","volume":"13 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136312317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Histologic findings of patients with PF showed mainly chronic degenerative processes rather than inflammation. In addition to mechanical factors, such as repetitive stress and reduced ankle dorsiflexion, PF is also linked to rheumatologic diseases and genetic factors. Ultrasound is becoming a standard imaging technique for assessing PF. Major sonographic findings included increased plantar fascia thickness and hypoechoic plantar fascia. In addition to traditional B-mode ultrasound, sonoelastography can also be utilized to diagnose PF. Ultrasound can also be used to guide therapeutic interventions. Over 80% of patients with PF improved under nonsurgical treatment. Treatment options for PF include physical therapy, modalities (laser, therapeutic ultrasound), extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), injections, transcatheter arterial embolization, and surgery. For injections, corticosteroid was mostly used in the past but has been replaced gradually by other techniques such as platelet-rich plasma or dextrose prolotherapy. There is also more and more evidence about ESWT in treating PF. Surgery serves as an option for recalcitrant PF cases, and endoscopic fasciotomy seemed to have good outcomes. Ultrasound plays an important role in diagnosing of PF and evaluating the treatment effect, and the use of sonoelastography in addition to traditional B-mode ultrasound may help in the early detection of PF and assessment of the treatment effect.","PeriodicalId":45466,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Ultrasound","volume":"82 1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139322279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
