Adhesive capsulitis and ultrasound diagnosis, an inseparable pair: a novel review
ConclusionsThe evidence collected in this review testify that musculoskeletal US is as reliable as MRI for AC diagnosis, therefore we believe that in this context US should be considered a first-line imaging technique. (Source: Journal of Ultrasound)

Additional value of Doppler ultrasound to B-mode ultrasound in assessing for uterine intracavitary pathologies among perimenopausal and postmenopausal bleeding women: a multicentre prospective observational study in Vietnam
ConclusionsB-mode ultrasound used in combination with Doppler as a noninvasive tool was significantly valuable in the diagnostic procedures for UIPs in perimenopausal and postmenopausal bleeding women. Doppler ultrasound and B-mode transvaginal ultrasound should be used together routinely for discrimination between malignant diseases and benign endometrial changes. Further studies are needed to better understand the benefits of combining Doppler ultrasound and B-mode ultrasound in routine sonographic practice. (Source: Journal of Ultrasound)

About uterine enhanced myometrial vascularity: Doppler ultrasound could reduce misdiagnosed life-threatening vaginal bleeding after pregnancy and guide the management
We reported three cases of enhanced myometrial vascularity: two occurring after vaginal delivery, and the third one after a scar pregnancy. The first case was successfully treated by embolization, the second one wa s subjected to curettage complicated by uterine perforation; the third one underwent embolization as well, but subsequently required hysterctomy for persistent methrorragia. As we treated these similar cases in three different ways, we decided to perform a mini review of the literature in the afterm ath. Considering literature data, we strongly believe that the detection of peak systolic speed by colour-Doppler ...

Two-dimensional shear wave elastography can improve the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography in acute appendicitis
ConclusionIn the diagnosis of acute appendicitis, 2D-SWE increases the diagnostic performance of gray-scale US in the differentiation of inflamed and normal appendixes. (Source: Journal of Ultrasound)
