Unfortunately, very often, despite extensive diagnostics, the cause of CPP remains unknown. The pathophysiology of CPP could be explained to a large extent by the occurrence of pelvic venous disorders (PVD). Although pelvic venography is still considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of PVD, noninvasive diagnostic imaging techniques seem to be instrumental in the initial identification of patients with PVD. This literature review aimed to analyze and evaluate the usefulness of noninvasive diagnostic imaging techniques like transvaginal ultrasonography, transabdominal ultrasonography, magnetic resonance, and computed tomography in the diagnosis and identification of patients with PVD. Forty-one articles published between 1984 and 2023 were included in this literature review. Based on this literature review, we conclude that the clinical application of noninvasive diagnostic techniques in the diagnosis of PVD seems to be very promising. Future studies investigating the role of noninvasive diagnostic imaging techniques in the diagnosis of PVD are required.","PeriodicalId":49400,"journal":{"name":"Ultraschall in Der Medizin","volume":" ","pages":"597-603"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11634453/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139703881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to analyze the SWE inter-examiner reliability for calculating the Young's modulus and shear wave speed of the AS muscle in asymptomatic subjects.Materials and methods: Using a linear transducer, ultrasound images of the antero-lateral neck region at the C7 level were acquired in 35 healthy volunteers by one experienced examiner and one novice examiner. After codifying the images to blind the participants' identity, the trial, and the side, Young's modulus and shear wave speed were obtained by an independent experienced rater in randomized order. Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC), standard error of measurement (SEM), minimal detectable changes (MDC), and coefficient of variation (CV%) were calculated.Results: The assessed AS metrics showed no side-to-side differences (p>0.05). Sex differences were found for muscle size (p=0.002), but muscle brightness and stiffness were similar (p>0.05). Inter-examiner reliability was good for determining the AS muscle stiffness (ICC = 0.881 for Young's modulus and 0.850 for shear wave speed).Conclusion: The obtained results suggest that assessing the AS stiffness properties in asymptomatic subjects is a reliable procedure. Further studies should verify the SWE capacity for discriminating healthy and clinical populations and identify potential factors contributing to the variance of measurement errors.","PeriodicalId":49400,"journal":{"name":"Ultraschall in Der Medizin","volume":" ","pages":"622-628"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138435316","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}

Postoperative formation of multiple unusual sonographic lesions was observed in patients that underwent mastectomy with TissuGlu. The aim of this study was to describe the sonographic features of these lesions and, when possible, to examine them histologically.Materials and methods: This study includes 98 patients, 49 underwent mastectomy with the application of TissuGlu and 49 with drain insertion. Unusual postoperative sonographic findings were thoroughly described. A histological examination was carried out according to the guideline recommendations.Results: Unusual sonographic findings were detected in 87.8% of patients in the TissuGlu group and in only 4% of the patients in the drain group. These lesions were detectable between 6 and 59 months postoperatively. 47 breasts of the TissuGlu group were classified as category 3, while only 2 breasts as category 4. Lesions were on average 7.5 mm in diameter, echogenic or isoechoic with posterior shadowing, an irregular and ill circumscribed marginal contour, and a horizontal axis. All histologically examined lesions (n=29) were benign. Granulomatous tissue was histologically proven in 63% of those lesions (n=17), while residual adhesive material could be detected in 18.5% of lesions (n=5).Conclusion: The use of TissuGlu adhesive after mastectomy may cause the formation of unusual palpable granulomas, with or without residual adhesive materials. Sonographic description of lesions will help physicians to differentiate between granulomas and local relapse.","PeriodicalId":49400,"journal":{"name":"Ultraschall in Der Medizin","volume":" ","pages":"615-621"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140307523","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 control group consisted of randomly selected patients (no RAIT, Group 3, n=100). Groups were compared regarding RAIT dose, symptoms, and US findings (duct dilation, hypoechoic/heterogeneous parenchyma, parenchymal loss). The association of the presence of US parameters after RAIT with various dose levels (2000-15000MBq) and time intervals (24, 60, 120 months) and the differences between the groups was evaluated.Results: Significant differences between US parameters were noted when comparing Group 1 with Group 2 or 3. Nothing of relevant significance was noted when Groups 2 and 3 were compared. US features indicating a slight or moderate sialadenitis showed the most significant associations with doses <4000MBq and time intervals <24 months after RAIT. US changes indicating a serious sialadenitis or even gland atrophy showed the most significant association at doses between >7000-9000MBq and when US was performed >60 months after RAIT.Conclusion: Our results point to a dose and time dependency of pathologic US findings in RAIT-induced effects on the major salivary glands.

We compared 50 ears of fetuses with syndromes (syndrome group) to 50 gestational age-matched ears of healthy fetuses (control group). The syndrome group consisted of fetuses with Trisomy 21 (n=13), Trisomy 18 (n=9) and other syndromes (n=28). The evaluation was based on measuring the ear length and width as well as developing categories to describe and compare different ear surface anomalies.Results: Ears of fetuses with Trisomy 18 were on average 0.423 cm smaller in length (P<0.001) and 0.123 cm smaller in width (P=0.031) and grew on average 0.046 cm less in length per week of gestation (P=0.027) than those of healthy fetuses. Ears of fetuses with Trisomy 21 differed from healthy fetuses regarding the form of the helix (P=0.013) and the ratio of the concha to the auricle (P=0.037). Fetuses with syndromes demonstrated less ear surface details than their controls (syndrome group: P=0.018, P=0.005; other syndromes subgroup: P=0.020). We saw an increased richness of ear surface details at a later gestational age both in the fetuses with syndromes and the healthy fetuses.Conclusion: Ears of fetuses with Trisomy 18 were smaller than their matched controls. Fetuses with syndromes varied in the evaluation of their ear surface from those of healthy fetuses. The ear surface can be analyzed with 3D ultrasound and might be useful as a screening parameter in syndrome diagnosis in the future.","PeriodicalId":49400,"journal":{"name":"Ultraschall in Der Medizin","volume":" ","pages":"604-614"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139565216","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}

While several testing methods exist, their availability and adoption remains varied, and the frequency of testing is often insufficient. Here we aimed to conduct a user-driven simple and rapid probe quality testing approach and to evaluate its rationale.Testing was based on physical examination of probe integrity (all probes) and in-air reverberation check (for curvilinear and linear array probes), findings, as well as probe age were registered. Prior to assessment, probes were divided into a high-risk vs. a low-risk category, based on the perceived risk of probe damage as a result of the typical application (e.g., non-invasive vs. interventional, inpatient vs. point-of-care).17.4% of the low-risk and 31.4% of high-risk probes demonstrated physical wear or damage. Reverberation artifacts were significantly more frequent (68%) in the high-risk category vs. the low-risk one (29.4%). Probes with either physical or reverberation faults were significantly older on average.The simple, rapid investigational technique uncovered an alarming percentage of probe damage or faults. It also identified immediately solvable technical issues (e.g., poor cable contact mimicking dropout). High-risk probe usage resulted in an increased rate of reverberation errors and physical damage. Risk-based, frequent rapid observational testing of ultrasound probes could substantially improve both diagnostic quality and patient safety.","PeriodicalId":49400,"journal":{"name":"Ultraschall in Der Medizin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142591963","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}
