Ultrasound of the elbow can be incorporated into routine pediatric practice in the radiology department, emergency department, orthopedic clinic, and interventional suite. Ultrasound is complementary ...
We aim to asses the diagnostic performance of ankle ultrasonography in patients presenting with acute ankle sprain injury, with comparison to MRI (Manyetik Rezonans İmaging)....
The study included patients who applied to the hospital within 48 h after an ankle sprain, and who presented with signs of pain, swelling, and tenderness in the ankle. Ankle ultrasonography examinatio...
30 patients were included in the study. 53.3% (n = 16) were female. The mean age was 30 ± 6.4 years. The ultrasonography examination determined 76.6% (n = 23) of the patients to have anterior talofibu...
Findings on all types of ATFL, CFL and AITFL appear to have a higher degree of correlation. Ultrasonography could have an added role as a triaging tool, to fast-track MRI....
We aimed to evaluate ultrasonography (US), colour Doppler US (CDUS) and sonoelastography (SEL) findings of histopathologically proven abdominal wall scar endometriosis in comparison with menstrual pha...
Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to change paradigms in the field of medicine with new applications that are applicable to daily life. The field of ultrasonography, which has been developing sin...
Ultrasonography is an imaging technique based on sound waves used for the evaluation of soft tissues. Sound waves have been used for a long time in nonmedical fields, including military defense system...
Rapid diagnostic tools available to the emergency physician caring for cardiac arrest patients are limited. Focused ultrasound (US), and in particular, focused echocardiography, is a useful tool in th...
Levator ani defect (LAD) closely correlates with pelvic floor disorders (PFD). In general, LAD was graded by three-dimensional ultrasonography (3D-US) and MRI, which could be used hardly in some devel...
Chronic trigonitis (CT) is usually diagnosed through cystoscopy which is invasive and expensive. Thus, an accurate non-invasive diagnostic method is necessary. The objective of this study is to determ...
Between 2012 and 2021, 114 women (17-76 years old) with recurrent urinary tract infection (RUTI) and history of antibiotic resistance were evaluated with TBU by a single ultrasonographer. As a control...
Thickening of trigone mucosa (>3 mm) was detected in all patients with RUTI and represented the most relevant criteria for trigonitis diagnosis on TBU. Other TBU findings in CT are: irregular and inte...
TBU proved to be an efficient, inexpensive and minimally invasive method to diagnose CT. To our knowledge, this is the first article that reports the use of transvaginal ultrasound as an alternative m...
Gastric tubes are commonly used for the administration of drugs and tube feeding for people who are unable to swallow. Feeding via a tube misplaced in the trachea can result in severe pneumonia. There...
To assess the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound alone or in combination with other methods for gastric tube placement confirmation in children and adults....
This systematic review is an update of a previously published Cochrane review. For this update, we searched the Cochrane Library (2021, Issue 6), MEDLINE (to April 2023), Embase (to April 2023), five ...
We included studies that evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of naso- and orogastric tube placement confirmed by ultrasound visualization using X-ray visualization as the reference standard. We included...
Two review authors independently assessed the methodological quality and extracted data from each of the included studies. We contacted the authors of the included studies to obtain missing data. Ther...
We identified 12 new studies in addition to 10 studies included in the earlier version of this review, totalling 1939 participants and 1944 tube insertions. Overall, we judged the risk of bias in the ...
Of 22 studies that assessed the diagnostic accuracy of gastric tube placement, few studies had a low risk of bias. Based on limited evidence, ultrasound does not have sufficient accuracy as a single t...
