Abstract Ultrasound is a highly effective imaging tool for assessing abnormalities within the breast. However, especially identification of malignant tumors breast mimicking fibroadenomas (MTMF) by means ultrasound can be challenging. This study aimed to identify reliable characteristics MTMF. retrospective was approved local ethics review board. After screening 623 patients, 421 cases with histologically verified and MTMF between 2011 2021 were included. Sonographic features compared...
Pulley ruptures are the most common injuries in sport climbing. Ruptures of A2 and A4 pulleys have been studied extensively, ultrasound has proven to be a highly sensitive specific tool for their diagnosis. However, correct diagnosis A3 pulley continues challenge. Therefore, we investigated novel approach this pathology. Eighteen fingers from nine different human cadavers were examined using high-resolution, dynamic before after being subjected combinations singular multiple iatrogenic...
Public campaigns such as the "Go-red-for-women"-initiative have raised heart-disease awareness and may trigger overutilization of coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA). Objective was to investigate diagnostic efficacy CTA stratified by age gender.
Aneurysmal wall enhancement (AWE) of non-ruptured sacular intracranial aneurysms (IA) after endovascular treatment (ET) is a frequently observed imaging finding. So far, its value remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the effect AWE on aneurysm reperfusion rates in longitudinal cohort. This retrospective MRI study over timespan up 5 years, assessing correlation increased IAs and events retreatment, PHASES Score grade AWE.

Aneurysmal wall enhancement (AWE) of non-ruptured sacular intracranial aneurysms (IA) after endovascular treatment (ET) is a frequently observed imaging finding using AWE-sequences in brain magnetic resonance (MRI). So far, its value remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the effect AWE on aneurysm reperfusion rates longitudinal cohort.
A better understanding of the peritumoral stroma changes due to tumour invasion using non-invasive diagnostic methods may improve differentiation between benign and malignant breast lesions. This study aimed assess correlation lesion intra- shear-wave elastography (SWE) gradients.
Abstract Objectives Changes in the microvascular environment are considered crucial pathogenesis of compression neuropathies. Several studies have demonstrated elevated intraneural vascularity severe neuropathy compared with healthy subjects, where is predominantly undetectable. The aim this study was to assess and quantify vasculature by superb imaging (SMI) volunteers median, ulnar common peroneal nerve. Methods Intraneural quantified 26 (312 segments overall) SMI sonography using a 22‐MHz...
To evaluate the diagnostic utility of maximum ultrasound strain elastography (SE) halo depth in newly diagnosed and histologically confirmed breast lesions, a retrospective study approval was granted by local Ethical Review Board. Overall, peritumoural halos (SEPHmax)-the distance between SE stiffening area B-mode lesion size-in 428 cases with lesions were retrospectively analysed alongside patient age, affected quadrant, tumour echogenicity, size, acoustic shadowing, vascularity....
One of the main causes dismal prognosis in patients who survive initial bleeding after aneurysmal subarachnoidal hemorrhage is delayed cerebral ischaemia caused by vasospasm.

Using phosphorous magnetic resonance spectrocopy (31P-MRS) we calculated (Mg) level 13 suffered aSAH. The values between group developed clinically significant vasospasm (n=7) did not (n=6) were compared. results study...

Abstract Purpose Endovascular aneurysm repair has emerged as the standard therapy for abdominal aortic aneurysms. In 9–30% of cases, retrograde filling sac through patent branch arteries may result in persistence blood flow outside graft and within sac. This condition is called an endoleak type II, which be treated by catheter-based embolization case continued enlargement. If endovascular access not possible, percutaneous targeting perfused nidus remains only option. However, this can very...
Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum (LHIS) is a distinct section epicardial adipose tissue. However, its association with COPD poorly documented.
Cardiovascular risk (CV)-stratification in females is challenging, and current models miss a high proportion at-risk. Breast arterial calcifications (BAC) are independent prognosticators, but their interaction with the coronary artery disease profile by computed tomography (CT) controverse, role of BAC 0 unclear.
(1) Background: The novel SARS-CoV-2 virus infects the endothelium. Vasculitis may lead to specific coronary artery wall lesions. Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) imaging findings have not been systematically reported. aim of this study was describe a case series using CTA. (2) Methods: Patients with recent RT-PCR confirmed infection referred for CTA clinical indications (e.g., chest pain, troponin+, and ECG abnormalities) were included. findings, such as atypical lesions...
Background: Compared to conventional 2D mammography, digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) offers greater lesion detection rates. Ring-like hypodense artifacts surrounding dense lesions are a common byproduct of DBT. This study’s purpose was assess whether minuscule changes spanning this halo—termed the “broken halo sign”—could improve classification. Methods: retrospective study approved by local ethics review board. After screening 288 consecutive patients, DBT studies 191 female participants...
Background: The incidence of pyogenic spondylodiscitis has been increasing in countries Europe and North America, probably due to an number persons with risk factors for this infection. It is unclear whether HIV infection the era antiretroviral therapy (ART) increases spondylodiscitis. Method: We present 7 cases cervical, thoracic, lumbar spine six individuals living under ART suppressed viral load. Results: All patients presented severe non-radicular pain elevated inflammatory markers....
Arterial pseudoaneurysms (PSAs) typically occur after (iatrogenic) damage (i.e., puncture) to the arterial wall and are most frequent complication following percutaneous interventions.In this article we report on successful treatments of two iatrogenic PSAs in patients (87-year-old male; 69-yearold-female) with a brachial (10 x 7 mm; 10 mm-length "neck") radial (17 3 artery PSA by US-guided fibrin glue injection (UGFI). Both were effectively occluded without any complications. To our...
