Evaluation of meniscus extrusion during stair ambulation in healthy volunteers using dynamic ultrasonography: a feasibility study
ConclusionsEvaluation that includes the posterior segment enables visualization of the medial meniscus and detection of its specific behavior during stair ambulation. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of evaluating meniscus dynamics during stair ambulation, and could contribute to a better understanding of these dynamics.

Contrast-enhanced endoscopic ultrasound for swollen lymph nodes
AbstractEndoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is an important tool for the evaluation of lymphadenopathy, especially in intra-thoracic or intra-abdominal regions. EUS also provides tissue diagnosis via EUS fine-needle aspiration or biopsy. To select the target for biopsy or aspiration, conventional B-mode images are used for the evaluation, but this approach still lacks diagnostic accuracy. Contrast-enhanced EUS has been used to evaluate the vascularity of lesions. Most malignant lymphadenopathy shows heterogenous enhancement or defect of enhancement, while quantitative studies using time-intensity curves in contrast-enhanced harmon...

Usefulness of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography for biliary tract disease
AbstractConventional ultrasonography (US) for biliary tract disease shows high time and spatial resolution. In addition, it is simple and minimally invasive, and is selected as a first-choice examination procedure for biliary tract disease. Currently, contrast-enhanced US (CEUS), which facilitates the more accurate assessment of lesion blood flow in comparison with color and power Doppler US, is performed using a second-generation ultrasonic contrast agent. Such agents are stable and provide a timeline for CEUS diagnosis. Gallbladder lesions are classified into three types: gallbladder biliary lesion (GBL), gallbladder pol...

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration for gastrointestinal subepithelial lesions
AbstractEndoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is the first-choice procedure for obtaining pathological tissue samples from gastrointestinal (GI) subepithelial lesions (SELs). However, its diagnostic accuracy is lower than that for pancreatic masses owing to puncture difficulty and the need for immunostaining for definitive diagnosis. The advent of fine-needle biopsy needles, which have become well known in recent years, improves the diagnostic accuracy of EUS-FNA for GI SELs. The forward-viewing echoendoscope and rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) have also helped to improve diagnostic accuracy. Furthe...

Sentinel lymph node identification using contrast-enhanced ultrasound in breast cancer: review of the literature
Abstract
Before breast cancer surgery, sentinel lymph node (SLN) identification and biopsy using blue dye, radioisotope (RI) with a gamma probe, or a combination of the two are mainly performed. The dye-guided method requires skilled technique to make an incision in the skin and identify SLNs without damaging the lymphatic vessels. In addition, dye-induced anaphylactic shock has been reported. To use the γ-probe-guided method, the facility must be able to handle RI. However, to overcome the drawbacks of these methods, Omoto et al. developed a new identification modality using contrast-enhanced ultrasound with an ultras...
