Findings were compared with patient characteristics, clinical presentations, MRI findings, and histopathological outcomes.This prospective single-center study involved patients with unclear STTs who were scheduled for STT biopsy. Clinical assessments and preoperative MRI were conducted along with CEUS. Perfusion quantification was performed, and perfusion parameters (peak enhancement [PE], rise time, wash-in perfusion index, and washout rate) were calculated. Perfusion characteristics of different STTs were compared.187 patients were included in the final analysis. Significant differences in CEUS perfusion between benign and non-benign STTs were demonstrated. Non-benign tumors showed significantly higher tumor perfusion and differences were also significant when comparing semi-malignant, malignant, and metastatic STTs. (PE-benign 107.74 [34.65-345.62]; PE-semi-malignant 166.06 [60.14-374.47]; PE-malignant 1042.24 [358.15-4917.74]; PE-metastasis 2632.37 [2249.46-3788.94]. ROC analysis demonstrated a sensitivity of 80% and a PPV of 69% for malignant tumor detection using a cut-off value for peak enhancement of 137 [a.u.].CEUS appears to be a promising tool for primary STT evaluation in addition to MRI. Furthermore, it can detect vital areas within the tumor tissue and could be utilized to increase biopsy accuracy.","PeriodicalId":49400,"journal":{"name":"Ultraschall in Der Medizin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143544072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For solid masses, both the intralesional and the peripheral vascularization was analyzed and quantified by MI and then compared to peak enhancement on CEUS. Regarding cystic lesions, we evaluated the presence or absence of vascularization within the cystic wall and/or septa. MI results were compared with CEUS findings using Pearson's Chi square test. An optimal size cut-off for renal lesions was determined with the Youden test.For solid lesions, a statistically significant correlation (p <0.05) was observed between the MI parameters and the peak enhancement on CEUS. The detection rate (DR) for lesional vascularization on MI was 87.5%, while if we consider only lesions larger than the optimal cut-off (14mm), the DR increases to 98%. In cystic lesions, the MI showed a high specificity (93.9%) in predicting CEUS results and a high positive predictive value (84.2%). The concordance was 100% in Bosniak I lesions and 80% in Bosniak IV lesions, while it was lower for the other classes. Furthermore, we found a statistically significant correlation (p <0.05) between Bosniak grade and lesional vascularity on MI.Our preliminary study shows that MI cannot replace CEUS, but could reduce its use, especially in solid lesions larger than 14mm and in cysts classified as Bosniak IV, a goal that is particularly important in an active surveillance setting.","PeriodicalId":49400,"journal":{"name":"Ultraschall in Der Medizin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143754913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although most of these procedures are minimally invasive, they are invariably associated with considerable risks for the fetus and, depending on the surgical method, also for the expectant mother. For this reason, most centers worldwide limit themselves to interventions for fetal diseases which, if untreated, have a fatal course or experience a significant deterioration in the postnatal prognosis during the course of intrauterine development. This is all the more significant as only a small proportion of prenatal interventions have been successfully investigated in controlled clinical trials. The only exceptions are laser therapy for feto-fetal transfusion syndrome, intrauterine closure of spina bifida, and tracheal occlusion for diaphragmatic hernia with severe pulmonary hypoplasia. This article is intended to provide an overview of the fetal conditions that are candidates for intrauterine therapy and of the evidence for the individual interventions.","PeriodicalId":49400,"journal":{"name":"Ultraschall in Der Medizin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143630903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their prediction component with respect to clinical outcome was evaluated. Mean values were compared by two-sample t-tests or the Mann-Whitney U-test. The Chi-square or Fisher's exact test was used in order to compare qualitative parameters. Kappa coefficients, McNemar test, and Bowker's test were used to assess the degree of agreement.The study population included 183 fetuses with left-sided and 26 fetuses with right-sided CDH. Survival did not differ significantly (74.3% vs. 80.8%, p=0.053). For every imaging technique, incidences of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and chronic lung disease decreased, and the probability of survival increased gradually reaching minima and maxima for o/e-LHR and rFLV above 35%. Outcome improved if rFLV was above 35% - compared to MRI-based measurement of o/e-LHR above 35%.Our data confirm the predictive value of o/e-LHR for CDH - irrespective of the diagnostic modality. MRI evaluation of o/e-LHR was not superior compared to sonography. MRI evaluation of rFLV correlated with morbidity and mortality which can be beneficial for fetuses with an otherwise good prognosis based on higher o/e-LHR as 2D imaging techniques can underestimate the fetuses' risk for pulmonary hypertension and ECMO.","PeriodicalId":49400,"journal":{"name":"Ultraschall in Der Medizin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143617818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nodule assessments by B-mode ultrasonography (US) and two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) were compared with a) fine-needle aspiration biopsy cytological (Bethesda II) and post-resection histology results (Bethesda III to VI). Nodules were divided into benign and malignant. B-mode US evaluated: echogenicity, composition, dimensions, contours, limits, presence of halo and echogenic foci. Elastography classified nodules from I - completely softened to IV - completely hard; mean nodule deformation value (assessed in m/s and kPa); deformation ratio between nodule and thyroid parenchyma (TDR) and deformation ratio between nodule and prethyroid musculature (MDR).Results: Significant univariate parameters for B-mode: hypoechogenicity, halo, microcalcifications, irregular contours and ill-defined limits; for elastography, all parameters. MDR (in kPa) was the best elastographic parameter: nodules with MDRs> 1.53 exhibited a higher chance of malignancy (AUC-ROC=0.831).

Multivariable analysis indicated that combination of prognostic models with any elastographic parameter increased performance.
