A review of MRI (CT)/US fusion imaging in treatment of breast cancer
AbstractThe ultrasound fusion imaging system is a diagnostic device developed in Japan that utilizes ultrasound and magnetic positioning/navigation. A position sensor with a probe reads spatial location information from a magnetic field generator and by synchronously displaying ultrasound images and magnetic resonance (MR)/computed tomography (CT) images in real time. Lesions that are difficult to observe via ultrasonography alone, such as non-mass enhancement, can be identified. Furthermore, lesions that are difficult to identify with ultrasound alone indicated for MRI-guided biopsy under the National Health Insurance Sch...

Ultrasound measurement of umbilical venous flow volume at the intra-abdominal portion in normal fetuses
ConclusionNew UVFV reference values measured at the intra-abdominal portion of fetuses using large-scale samples were established. Future studies should assess fetuses under pathologic conditions using UVFV reference values. (Source: Journal of Medical Ultrasonics)

Relationship between shear elastic modulus and passive muscle force in human hamstring muscles using a Thiel soft-embalmed cadaver
ConclusionThe local mechanical properties of individual hamstring muscles can be indirectly estimated using SWE, and the slope of increase in shear modulus reflects characteristics of the muscle architecture. (Source: Journal of Medical Ultrasonics)

Ultrasound diagnosis of non-mass MRI-detected lesions
AbstractMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-detected lesions are often category 2 or 3 lesions on initial ultrasound examination. In addition, in the case of new non-mass lesions detected on MRI, one would expect to find lesions with ductal dilatation with minimal secretory accumulation, single short lesions with ductal dilatation, cyst-like lesions less than 5 mm in size, mammary gland-like lesions less than 8 mm in size, and very indistinct lesions. Detection is expected to be even more difficult. Currently, there are no clear uniform criteria for the indication of second-look ultrasonography (US) for MRI-detected lesion...

Ultrasound elastography in chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis
AbstractUltrasound elastography (USE) is a noninvasive technique for assessing tissue elasticity, and its application in nephrology has aroused growing interest in recent years. The purpose of this article is to systematically review the clinical application of USE in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), including native and transplanted kidneys, and quantitatively investigate differences in elasticity values between healthy individuals and CKD patients. Furthermore, we provide a qualitative analysis of the studies included, discussing the potential interplay between renal stiffness, estimated glomerular filtration ...

Right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain assessment using offline speckle tracking in COVID-19 patients requiring intensive medical care
ConclusionOffline measurement of RV-FWLS may be a potent predictor of worse outcomes in COVID-19 requiring intensive care. Larger multicenter prospective studies are needed. (Source: Journal of Medical Ultrasonics)
