Placental insufficiency can cause a variety of obstetric complications. Despite the many efforts to enhance diagnosing placental insufficiency, no imaging technique has proven satisfactory. A promising imaging technique is contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) using microbubbles which has proven capable of (micro)vascular imaging. Its use for placental vascularization assessment in human pregnancies remains constrained by limited evidence and safety concerns. This scoping review aims to demonstrate the safety of CEUS used in human pregnancy in the published literature to date.Material and methods: A systematic search using PubMed, Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases was performed. All studies where contrast-enhanced ultrasound was used in pregnant humans were included. Studies, where there was a planned termination of pregnancy, were excluded. To assess the safety of CEUS during pregnancy, relevant outcomes were divided into the following 3 categories; fetal outcome, maternal outcome, and pregnancy and neonatal outcomes.Results: A total of 13 articles were included, in which 256 women underwent CEUS during pregnancy. No clinically significant maternal or fetal adverse events or negative pregnancy or neonatal outcomes associated with CEUS were described.Conclusion: Based on our findings, we consider expanding the knowledge of this promising diagnostic technique in future larger clinical studies to be safe and relevant.","PeriodicalId":49400,"journal":{"name":"Ultraschall in Der Medizin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141447444","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}

Most of them are benign, but many unnecessary fine-needle aspiration procedures, core biopsies, and even thyroidectomies or non-invasive treatments have been performed. To improve thyroid nodule characterization, the use of multiparametric ultrasound evaluation has been encouraged by most experts and several societies. In particular, US elastography for assessing tissue stiffness and CEUS for providing insight into vascularization contribute to improved characterization. Moreover, the application of AI, particularly machine learning and deep learning, enhances diagnostic accuracy. Furthermore, AI-based computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems, integrated into the diagnostic process, aid in risk stratification and minimize unnecessary interventions. Despite these advancements, challenges persist, including the need for standardized TIRADS, the role of US elastography in routine practice, and the integration of AI into clinical protocols. However, the integration of clinical information, laboratory information, and multiparametric ultrasound features remains crucial for minimizing unnecessary interventions and guiding appropriate treatments. In conclusion, ultrasound plays a pivotal role in thyroid nodule management. Open questions regarding TIRADS selection, consistent use of US elastography, and the role of AI-based techniques underscore the need for ongoing research. Nonetheless, a comprehensive approach combining clinical, laboratory, and ultrasound data is recommended to minimize unnecessary interventions and treatments.","PeriodicalId":49400,"journal":{"name":"Ultraschall in Der Medizin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142146676","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}

The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the existing literature in order to evaluate the association between apparently isolated fetal mild ventriculomegaly with the presence of additional structural defects detected by fetal brain MRI, chromosomal or other genetic anomalies, and neurodevelopmental delay.Methods: This systematic review was designed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Modern literature was searched from January 1, 2011, to July 31, 2023.Results: 23 studies were included, comprising a total of 2590 patients. Nine studies assessed the association between fetal mild ventriculomegaly and neurodevelopmental impairment, including 536 cases, with normal neurodevelopmental outcomes ranging from 64% to 96.5%. Ten studies evaluated the additive value of fetal MRI, including 1266 fetuses, with the detection rate of additional brain defects that eventually altered the clinical management ranging from 0% to 19.5%. Seven studies investigated the association of mild ventriculomegaly with the presence of underlying chromosomal or genetic conditions, including 747 cases, with the rate ranging from 1.1% to 15.4%.Conclusion: The prevalence of aneuploidy and genetic abnormalities in ventriculomegaly, especially in isolated cases, is reported to be quite low and the incidence of neurodevelopmental delay appears to be similar to that of the general population in cases that are apparently and truly isolated.","PeriodicalId":49400,"journal":{"name":"Ultraschall in Der Medizin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142114061","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}

The ultrasound characteristics, clinical treatment, and pregnancy outcomes of patients with HIMPs were evaluated.Results: Eight women with HIMPs were included. Among them, 6 patients were diagnosed by transvaginal sonography, and 2 patients were misdiagnosed with heterotopic interstitial pregnancy. The diagnostic accuracy was 75% (6/8). Five patients with HIMPs were diagnosed at the time of the initial scan (5+6-6+3 weeks). An intramural gestational sac was observed in all 6 patients, and an embryo with cardiac activity was detected in one patient on the follow-up scans. Intrauterine pregnancies (IUPs) were revealed in all 6 patients, and embryo(s) with cardiac activity were observed in 5 patients at the time of the initial diagnosis or later. The patients receiving expectant treatment all presented with bagel signs, while patients with embryos with cardiac activity all underwent surgery. Among the 6 diagnosed women, 1 patient was initially treated medically, 4 were treated expectantly, and 1 was treated surgically. Among the 6 diagnosed patients, the IUPs of 5 patients resulted in live infants.Conclusion: Single ET should be recommended to decrease the possibility of HIMP. An accurate diagnosis of HIMP was reached in most cases by detailed ultrasound early in the first trimester. Most IUPs of HIMPs seem to have good outcomes with timely and proper management.

It was assumed that when disruptions occur in the process of somitogenesis during membranous vertebral body formation, chondrification and ossification will follow the anomalous membranous vertebral body scaffolding, resulting in an anomalous vertebral formation, such as a hemivertebra. Another hypothesis is that hemivertebra may result from anomalous distribution of intersegmental arteries of the vertebral column. There is no description in the medical literature of \"excess linear calcifications\" of part of the fetal vertebra, characterized by the presence of linear calcifications in the vertebrae of a developing fetus. In the first two trimesters of pregnancy, the fetal vertebrae usually show three calcified points in an axial section: the vertebral body and two transverse processes. Premature linear vertebral calcification was defined as an anterior or posterior echogenic connection between two of the points (Fig. 1). In this study, we describe seven cases of premature fetal linear vertebral calcification.","PeriodicalId":49400,"journal":{"name":"Ultraschall in Der Medizin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142037472","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}

A roadrunner was used to cannulate the occluded portion of the fallopian tube. After tubal cannulation, ExEm foam was injected under direct US guidance to confirm tubal recanalization and its passage through the fallopian tubes.Results: During the study period, a total of 14 women with proximal tubal occlusion underwent this procedure. Tubal patency was obtained in 92.8%. No immediate and remote complications were observed. To date three (21.4%) of the patients conceived after tubal catheterization and one had a live birth.Conclusion: Outpatient fallopian tube catheterization under 3D vaginal US guidance followed by selective HyFoSy can be successfully implemented for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with proximal tubal occlusion.

Even though both techniques measure liver stiffness, their numerical results often diverge. Confounders and reliability criteria for 2D-SWE have not been systematically investigated.Materials and methods: We prospectively recruited participants with paired LSM by VCTE and the novel 2D-SWE technique ElastQ (Philips) in three European tertiary centers. The following parameters were recorded: sex, age, body mass index (BMI), etiology, laboratory markers of liver damage and function, as well as cholestasis, LSM by VCTE and controlled attenuation parameter (CAP), interquartile range (IQR)/median for VCTE-LSM and ElastQ-LSM, and the skin-to-liver capsule distance.Results: We included 840 participants: 447 (53.2%) males; median age 57.0 [IQR:19.0] years; median BMI 25.4 [6.0] kg/m2; median VCTE-LSM 7.25 [9.2] kPa; median ElastQ-LSM 6.7 [5.4] kPa. On uni- and multivariable modeling (adjusted for LSM), we found that the discrepancy increased with liver stiffness and markers of disease severity. Skin-to-liver capsule distance and BMI affected VCTE-LSM more compared to ElastQ-LSM and significantly increased the discordance between the two measurements.Conclusion: The discrepancy of ElastQ-LSM to VCTE-LSM increases with liver stiffness and disease severity. BMI and skin-to-liver capsule distance increase the discrepancy between VCTE- and ElastQ-LSM but affect ElastQ-LSM less.

As a comparison, clinical investigations were performed by two experienced ultrasonographers by measuring the resolution of anatomical structures in the liver, pancreas, and intestine in ten subjects.Results: Axial full width at half maximum resolution (FWHM) of 100µm phantom pins at depths between one and twelve cm ranged from 0.6-1.9mm without correlation to pin depth. Lateral FWHM resolution ranged from 1.3-8.7mm and was positively correlated with depth (r=0.6).
