Clinical data, serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels, and ultrasonographic parameters-including vascular index (VI) (MV-Flow®) and uterine artery pulsatility index (PI)-were collected and analyzed. Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were used to assess predictive value.Results: GTN patients had significantly higher rates of second uterine evacuation (47.4% vs. 7.1%, p=0.001), prolonged time to hCG normalization (92.0 vs. 40.0 days, p<0.001), and increased frequency of focal lesions (68.4% vs. 14.3%, p<0.001). VI values in the longitudinal, transverse, and mean uterine planes were significantly higher in GTN, while mean PI was significantly lower (1.61 vs. 3.13, p=0.001). ROC curves demonstrated good diagnostic performance for the mean VI (AUC=0.823) and mean PI (AUC=0.777).Conclusion: The VI and uterine artery PI, in combination with serum hCG dynamics and focal lesion detection, may serve as useful parameters in the early identification of patients at increased risk for neoplastic progression following molar pregnancy.","PeriodicalId":94138,"journal":{"name":"Medical ultrasonography","volume":" ","pages":"308-314"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147286811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among them, 35 patients who underwent two-dimensional ultrasound (2D-US), transfistular CEUS, and prior to surgery were retrospectively enrolled. The diagnostic accuracy of transfistular CEUS and 2D-US for BCF detection was compared. The agreement between CEUS and surgical findings in internal orifice localization and BCF classification was assessed.Results: Among the enrolled 35 patients, 29 were surgically confirmed as BCF. Postoperative surgical findings served as the reference standard for all analyses. Transfistular CEUS demonstrated superior diagnostic accuracy compared to 2D-US for BCF detection (91.4% vs. 82.9%). Excellent agreement was observed between CEUS and surgical findings in internal orifice localization (κ=0.814, p<0.001). For BCF classification, the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of transfistular CEUS were as follows: type I BCF (93.1%, 93.8%, 92.3%), type II BCF (89.7%, 71.4%, 91.3%), and pyriform fossa fistulas (96.6%, 100.0%, and 95.7%), respectively. Conclusions: As a radiation-free, cost-effective, and non-invasive technique, transfistular CEUS can accurately diagnose BCF, precisely localize its internal orifice, and effectively differentiate its subtypes. For patients clinically suspected of BCF, transfistular CEUS is a reliable preoperative tool for individualized clinical guidance.","PeriodicalId":94138,"journal":{"name":"Medical ultrasonography","volume":" ","pages":"286-292"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147286734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subgroup diagnostic performance for solid vs. cystic masses was also performed. The methodological quality evaluation was performed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies version 2 (QUADAS-2). Publication bias was assessed using the Begg funnel plot and Egger's test.Results: Thirty-six articles involving 4,530 renal masses (3,221 malignant, 1,309 benign) were included in the analysis. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, PLR, NLR, and DOR were 0.94 (0.91-0.96), 0.85 (0.79-0.89), 6.24 (4.54-8.56), 0.07 (0.04-0.11), and 89.46 (51.66-154.94), respectively. The accuracy was 0.95 (0.93-0.97). I2 values of sensitivity (I2=95.91%) and specificity (I2=80.43%) were both >50%. Subgroup analyses demonstrated that CEUS had higher sensitivity for cystic renal masses than solid renal masses (0.99 vs. 0.88), but lower specificity (0.80 vs. 0.87).

Reference values enable clinicians to differentiate between physiological and pathological findings and thus support diagnostic accuracy, follow-up, and therapeutic decision-making. This comprehensive review synthesizes current evidence on normal liver size as assessed by ultrasound, with a particular focus on measurement techniques, standard values, anatomical variants, and the clinical contexts in which these parameters are relevant. Special attention is given to the influence of patient-related factors such as body constitution, sex, age, and ethnicity. The role of right, left, and caudate lobe measurements is discussed in detail, outlining their relevance in conditions such as hepatomegaly, vascular disorders, or post-resection follow-up. Limitations of currently available data are acknowledged, especially regarding interobserver variability and lack of global uniformity. Future priorities include the establishment of consensus-based international reference standards and the integration of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence and advanced image analysis tools, to enhance reproducibility, reduce variability, and improve clinical utility. Ultimately, standardized liver measurements should form an integral part of multiparametric ultrasound examinations to optimize patient care.","PeriodicalId":94138,"journal":{"name":"Medical ultrasonography","volume":" ","pages":"326-339"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146014080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
