- Sarcoma or haematoma? If only it was that simple! Part 2by Catharine Berry on October 8, 2024 at 11:34 am
Ultrasound, Ahead of Print. <br/>Introduction:Imaging appearances and clinical presentation of soft tissue sarcoma and soft tissue haematomas are similar. It is imperative that sarcoma is differentiated from benign soft tissue lesions due to the poor outcomes and high morbidity associated with sarcoma.Topic Description:Part 2 of this pictorial review summarises the key ultrasound […]
- ‘More like a partnership’: A qualitative evaluation of Communication Coaching for Sonographers (CCS) in obstetric ultrasoundby Essie Kaur on September 25, 2024 at 11:45 am
Ultrasound, Ahead of Print. <br/>Introduction:Sonographers are required to deliver unexpected news to expectant parents in real time during obstetric ultrasound scans. The complexity of these interactions requires sonographers to conduct the clinical task while communicating their findings and managing the expectant parent’s response within the designated appointment time. Communication […]
- MSK ultrasound imaging–assisted clinical examinationby Nikos Malliaropoulos on September 21, 2024 at 5:42 am
Ultrasound, Ahead of Print. <br/>Musculoskeletal disorders are a significant global health concern, affecting over 1.71 billion individuals worldwide, with a considerable impact on quality of life and economic burden due to healthcare costs and productivity losses. In the United Kingdom, approximately one-third of the population suffers from musculoskeletal disorders, underscoring the need […]
- Clinical application of ultrasound in thoracic medial branch block and thoracic cooled-radiofrequency ablation: Case report and literature reviewby Kevin J Yang on September 18, 2024 at 8:07 am
Ultrasound, Ahead of Print. <br/>Introduction:Radiofrequency ablation is a procedure used to alleviate pain by destroying nerves with by radiofrequency-generated heat. Traditionally, radiofrequency ablation is preceded by diagnostic medial branch block injections, both guided by fluoroscopy. Fluoroscopic visualization of the superolateral aspect of the thoracic transverse process, where […]

Ultrasound, Ahead of Print. <br/>Introduction:Imaging appearances and clinical presentation of soft tissue sarcoma and soft tissue haematomas are similar. It is imperative that sarcoma is differentiated from benign soft tissue lesions due to the poor outcomes and high morbidity associated with sarcoma.Topic description:Part 1 of this pictorial review will summarise the paucity of guidance […]
- Telemedicine ultrasound in intensive care unit: A pilot diagnostic accuracy studyby Emanuele König Klever on July 30, 2024 at 11:23 am
Ultrasound, Ahead of Print. <br/>Introduction:Digital health is an opportune way of facilitating the implementation of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in intensive care units (ICUs) of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) through remote tele-mentored ultrasound (RTMUS). Therefore, this pilot diagnostic accuracy study aims to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of RTMUS, using […]
- Mirror artefact as a diagnostic tool in identifying occult liver lesions on ultrasoundby Yi (Elaine) Wang on June 25, 2024 at 11:40 am
Ultrasound, Ahead of Print. <br/>Introduction:Mirror artefacts often can be seen in abdominal ultrasound. Their efficacy in detecting sonographically occult lesions has been overlooked.Case report:We present two cases of abdominal ultrasound examination, where the mirror image artefact was utilised in the diagnosis of sonographically occult lesions in segment VII of the liver.Discussion:The […]
- Ultrasound imaging for sternoclavicular joint involvement in enthesitis-related arthritis: A closer look at capsular enthesitisby Fiammetta Zunica on June 25, 2024 at 6:38 am
Ultrasound, Ahead of Print. <br/>Introduction:Enthesitis-related arthritis is a specific subtype of juvenile idiopathic arthritis characterised by the co-presence of arthritis and enthesitis or the evidence of one of them coupled with at least two among sacroiliac joint tenderness, inflammatory back pain, presence of human leukocyte antigen-B27, acute symptomatic anterior uveitis, onset in […]
- Misrepresented multiple endocrine neoplasia 2: Do the British Thyroid Association guidelines accurately predict thyroid cancer risk in high-risk groups with multiple endocrine neoplasia 2? A case seriesby Arya Anthony Kamyab on June 24, 2024 at 6:12 am
Ultrasound, Ahead of Print. <br/>Introduction:The incidence of thyroid nodules in the general population is around 40%. The British Thyroid Association U-grading has high sensitivity for identifying the common thyroid cancer subtypes (papillary and follicular). However, ultrasound features of the rarer medullary thyroid cancer differ, with lower sensitivity for ultrasound […]
- Diagnosis of fetal isolated cleft palate using assessment of the posterior hard palate angleby Iglika Ivancheva Simeonova-Brachot on June 21, 2024 at 5:54 am
Ultrasound, Ahead of Print. <br/>Objective:The study aims to evaluate the role of the posterior hard palate angle in the prenatal diagnosis of cleft palate.Study Design:Stored images of the axial transverse view of the fetal secondary palate, obtained at three-level obstetric ultrasounds, were used to evaluate the posterior border of the hard palate. The study population comprised 63 […]
- Breast carcinoma metastasis to the submandibular gland: Clinical, sonographic and pathological findings of a rare entityby Lamees Salman on May 27, 2024 at 7:10 am
Ultrasound, Ahead of Print. <br/>Introduction:Metastatic disease to the submandibular gland is a rare phenomenon with limited information available on related imaging findings.Case Presentation:We report a 59-year-old female who presented with a palpable nodule in the right submandibular gland 6 years after treatment for breast carcinoma. Ultrasound findings were concerning for distant […]
- Sonographic imaging of the genicular nerves of the kneeby Michelle Fenech on May 27, 2024 at 7:07 am
Ultrasound, Ahead of Print. <br/>Introduction:The genicular nerves are sensory nerves around the knee. With the improvements in ultrasound imaging resolution, these nerves can be identified sonographically.Topic description:Due to their small size, genicular nerves are often underappreciated and overlooked during routine sonographic imaging. Chronic pain associated with knee osteoarthritis, […]
