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":"14-35"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","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}

These techniques should be learned and performed several times using a simulation model that is as realistic as possible before being applied to patients. While the use of agar-agar-based models is extensively documented in the literature, there is a discernible gap in publications specifically addressing their use in punch biopsy and puncture. The aim was to develop a cost-effective model for the simulation of ultrasound-guided interventions.Materials and methods: The developed simulation model is based on the vegetable gelatine agar-agar. The agar-agar powder is boiled in water and colored. Various objects are added to the mass. Blueberries, olives, tomatoes, and cornichons imitate solid structures. Liquid-filled balloons are used to simulate cystic structures. Adding stones can make the exercises more difficult due to hyperechoic reflexes with distal shadowing.Results: With the model, ultrasound-guided puncture and punch biopsies could be successfully simulated, and ultrasound images can be generated for this purpose. The cost of a single model is about 2 euros. Production takes less than 2 hours, including cooling. The pure processing time is 30 minutes. The durability of the models is limited by mold, which occurs after 5 days when stored at room temperature and after 5 weeks in the refrigerator.Conclusion: It was shown that it is possible to produce an inexpensive agar-agar-based ultrasound model in a short time and with easily available ingredients to learn ultrasound-guided puncture and punch biopsies.","PeriodicalId":49400,"journal":{"name":"Ultraschall in Der Medizin","volume":" ","pages":"86-92"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140186079","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}

Superb microvascular imaging (SMI) is a new ultrasound technique that allows visualization of slow blood flow in synovitis. This study aimed to report on the clinical value and utility of the SMI technique and its grading for monitoring RA by determining the correlation with clinical disease activity scores (DAS 28) and power Doppler ultrasound (PDUS).All RA patients with clinically apparent synovitis were assessed using DAS 28. Synovitis was investigated with PDUS and SMI and each joint was graded semi-quantitatively. All assessments were carried out at baseline and repeated at least at the 4-month follow-up. Correlations between scores were investigated using Spearman's correlation.60 RA patients with 552 affected joints were recruited. Clinical and sonographic scores were significantly improved at follow-up (p<0.001). SMI showed significantly more joint count and flow signal scores than clinical examination and PDUS. Moderate correlations were found between the SMI score and clinical scores (p<0.001, 0.586 for SMI score vs. DAS 28-CRP, p=0.001, 0.432 for SMI vs. DAS 28-ESR). There were also stronger correlations between the SMI score and PDUS score at both baseline and follow-up (p<0.001, r = 0.817, 0.842 respectively).SMI provides greater utility and ability to detect synovial vascularity and to monitor disease activity than PDUS. A new activity scoring system based on SMI and clinical objective findings is required to improve reliability and validity.","PeriodicalId":49400,"journal":{"name":"Ultraschall in Der Medizin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142607163","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}

Endosonography offers significant potential to improve imaging inside the upper respiratory tract, particularly with advancements in probe technology and imaging resolution.

Transoral ultrasound can be used to improve the diagnosis of salivary gland diseases, oropharyngeal abscesses, and ultrasound-guided puncture and biopsy. Endoscopic endolaryngeal ultrasound is used especially for diagnosing small laryngeal cancer and determining infiltration status. The article highlights the role of endosonography in managing oncologic diseases, especially in oral tongue carcinoma, where it aids in surgical planning by assessing the depth of invasion. In cases of HPV-positive carcinoma of unknown primary, high-frequency endosonography is crucial for detecting small tumors in the oropharyngeal region. In summary, the article advocates the broader integration of endosonography in clinical practice, highlighting its potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy and improve patient outcomes in head and neck oncology.","PeriodicalId":49400,"journal":{"name":"Ultraschall in Der Medizin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142873098","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.During the study period, a total of 14 women with proximal tubal occlusion underwent this procedure.
