Damages impact on image quality, patient safety and healthcare budgets. Probes, particularly represent very important, sophisticated, and expensive components. This review aims to illustrate common forms of damage and educate ultrasound operators on how to recognize, manage, and prevent them.Methods: Through the years we have collected a number of images related to damages to ultrasound equipment, including their appearance on the ultrasound screen, such artifact in B-mode image, color artifact, and noise in image. Based on our experience and a literature review, we provide information and recommendations for recognizing and managing such damage.Results: Common causes of probe damage include improper handling, transport, cleaning, storage, and reprocessing. Main damages are defective cable conditions, acoustic lens issues, crystal damage, transducer house assembly cracks, multiplexer scanning image issue, strain relief condition, connector issues, gel issue/matching layer swelling, and leakage of probe oil.Conclusion: Ultrasound operators must be aware of probe damage and respond promptly to signs of malfunction. This vigilance may prevent irreversible harm and enable repair rather than replacement. Proactive care and regular inspections are essential. Periodic inspection and quality control tests must be scheduled. Remote control of the scanners by the manufacturer may also be helpful.","PeriodicalId":51528,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ultrasound","volume":" ","pages":"543-549"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12496363/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144499099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Any one or more of mean uterine artery (UtA) or umbilical artery (UA) pulsatility index > 95th centile, middle cerebral artery (MCA) or cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) PI < 5th centile, absent or reversed end-diastolic velocity, or ductus venosus PI > 95th centile was considered abnormal Doppler studies. Fetuses with estimated fetal weight (EFW) < 3rd percentile or EFW 3rd to 10th percentile with abnormal Doppler were categorised as FGR. Fetuses with EFW 3rd to 10th percentile and normal Doppler were classified as small for gestational age (SGA) and EFW 10th to 50th percentile and abnormal Doppler were classified as appropriate for gestational age (AGA) fetuses with adapted growth restriction.Results: Among 1065 screened participants, 142 fetuses (13.33%) had an EFW < 10th centile and 139 (13.05%) fetuses had both EFW and fetal AC < 10th centile. Stage 1 FGR was identified in 58 (5.45%) fetuses, 75 fetuses (7.04%) were classified as SGA and 77 (7.23%) were adapted growth-restricted AGA fetuses. Reclassifying FGR after integrating Doppler assessments reduced magnitude by 52.13, 51.11, and 76.82% from the estimates of FGR derived based on EFW < 10th centile alone, both EFW and fetal AC < 10th centile and either EFW or fetal AC < 10th centile respectively.Conclusion: Integrating fetal Doppler studies with routine third-trimester ultrasound assessment significantly reclassifies FGR with a huge reduction in the proportion of fetuses that need more intense surveillance in the third trimester.","PeriodicalId":51528,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ultrasound","volume":" ","pages":"679-684"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12496345/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144785888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following pelvic dissection and bowel mobilization, the pelvis is filled with saline to improve acoustic transmission. A 2D convex end-fire transvaginal probe is inserted to assess the rectosigmoid colon. Lesions are evaluated in multiple planes, measuring their dimensions, depth, circumferential involvement, and proximity to the anal verge. Findings are used intraoperatively to guide the choice of surgical approach-shaving, disc excision, or segmental resection.Results: IOTVUS provides real-time, high-resolution imaging of rectosigmoid DIE, enabling accurate characterization of lesion morphology after anatomical restoration. The technique facilitates the selection of the most appropriate surgical intervention based on objective, intraoperative assessment. It also allows post-excision verification of lesion removal.Conclusion: IOTVUS is a promising, underutilized tool for intraoperative guidance in rectosigmoid DIE surgery. It supports precise lesion characterization and personalized surgical planning.","PeriodicalId":51528,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ultrasound","volume":" ","pages":"739-744"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12496381/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144800883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prenatal diagnosis is also rare, and few cases have been reported using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A 35-year-old G5P2A2 woman at the 35th week of gestation was referred to our service. Fetal MRI showed an isointense image in the suprasellar region, pushing the brainstem up and backward, and compressing the vermis and cerebellum on T2-weighted images. On T1-weighted images, the hypointense signal of the tumor was similar to that of the brain parenchyma. Ultrasound images showed a suprasellar mass, which was more echogenic than the normal cerebral parenchyma, posteriorly pushing the brain stem, with involvement of the vermis of the tumor and compression of the posterior fossa. Three-dimensional reconstruction using MRI scan data showed a space view of the tumor and its relationships with the other brain tissues allowing better understanding by parents and multidisciplinary team.","PeriodicalId":51528,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ultrasound","volume":" ","pages":"727-730"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12496359/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9665510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
