This study aimed to develop and validate an interpretable radiomics model using quantitative features from B-mode ultrasound (BMUS) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for predicting macrotrabecular-massiv...
- Ultrasound-based assessment of spinal muscle thickness and elasticity in patients with idiopathic scoliosisby Huangwei Lei, Lin Meng, Yifan Sun and Yanyun Gou on October 14, 2025 at 12:00 am
Utilizing ultrasonic imaging technology, this study assessed and compared the thickness and elasticity features of the abdominal and spinal back muscles in patients with idiopathic scoliosis to those of health...
- Sonographic nystagmus: a case report of lateral semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigoby Yuki Munekata, Chisato Matsumoto, Kento Sakoda and Yuki Takahashi on October 14, 2025 at 12:00 am
Nystagmus, a critical diagnostic sign of vertigo and dizziness, reflects disturbances in the vestibular system. The accurate characterisation of nystagmus aids in distinguishing between peripheral and central ...
- Feasibility and clinical value of nurse-led point-of-care ultrasound screening for prethrombotic state in postoperative cardiac ICU patients: a cross-sectional studyby Jingjing Cheng, Lu Liu, Xuemei Tang, Chunlin Xiang, Yiwei Qin, Yi Zhang, Zhenjie Jiang, Xiaoting Zeng, Ying Wu, Xiaoyu Chen, Fengchun Liu, Xiaoxiao Wu and Yiping Wang on October 14, 2025 at 12:00 am
Postoperative cardiac ICU patients are at increased risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE), yet early identification of prethrombotic state (PTS) remains challenging. Nurse-led point-of-care ultrasoun...
- Cerebrovascular reactivity metrics as predictors of cognitive performance in healthy ageing: insights from transcranial colour-coded ultrasoundby Joseph Amihere Ackah, Xiangyan Chen, Huixing Zeng, Jingxin Zhong, Jason Tsz Lok Chan, Michael Lung Cheung Lo and Jing Cai on October 9, 2025 at 12:00 am
This study was designed to investigate the utility of cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) metrics, derived from transcranial colour-coded Doppler ultrasound (TCCD). Three main CVR metrics were examined as potenti...
