Determining the presence and characteristics of vascular flow is an essential part sonography interrogation. However, small vessels low velocities are not always possible to depict with conventional color power Doppler ultrasound. This can be frustrating, especially when diagnosis depends mainly on existence flow, sonographic examination will inconclusive, further imaging examinations required delayed. Superb microvascular (SMI) a novel mode, which provides visualization velocity flow. SMI...

Superb microvascular imaging (SMI) is an innovative ultrasound image processing technique that provides greater detail and better visualization of small branching vessels. We assume SMI will provide sufficient information regarding the severity chronic kidney disease (CKD) reflecting histological changes.The aims was to assess capabilities early detection dysfunction renal fibrosis in comparison reference standard biopsy for diagnosis fibrosis.SMI performed patients (n = 52) with CKD stage...

Tibialis anterior muscle hernia is a challenging diagnosis. Ultrasound findings generally are negative because patients come to ultrasound study from home when they at rest. When the operator of suspects hernia, he has scan affected limb or organ dynamically rest and after stressing limb. Here, we present case 19-year-old dancer with leg mass ultrasonographic but was diagnosed tibialis stress dynamic ultrasound.

Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect simultaneous bilateral intra-articular injection (IAI) methylprednisolone acetate (MPA) on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods Nonselected symptomatic osteoarthritis had IAI 80 mg MPA at each (group 1). Just before and weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 after it, 1 µg adrenocorticotropin hormone stimulation test. Age- sex-matched 60 hyaluronic acid 2) same protocol tests. Demographic, clinical,...

To document the prevalence and spectrum of musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS) findings at different parts foot.All MSKUS studies conducted on foot during a 2-year period (2012-2013) Department Radiology were reviewed. Demographic parameters including age, gender, documented.Three hundred sixty-four had been in period. Ninety-three evaluations done for ankle, 30 heel, 241 rest foot.

Brown tumors are rare focal giant cell lesions of the bone caused by primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT). tumor was reported in 1891; it presents as end-stage findings HPT. Common involvements skull and pelvic girdle. We describe a case 46-year-old female hemodialysis patient, with secondary HPT whom multiple masses left maxillary sinus frontal were radiologically suspected to be brown tumor. This unusual manifestation can expected occur increased longevity patients renal failure illustrates...

Accessing the stomach via a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube is preferred (and sometimes only) method for providing enteral nutritional support in disabled patients. However, it associated with serious and potentially lethal complications which must be completely recognised by physicians, nurses especially radiologists. Abdominal wall necrotising fasciitis of dislodged or leaking PEG could complication. We present case 74-year-old bed bound woman who was admitted to our...

QUESTIONS UNDER STUDY: In this work we wanted to evaluate the effect of intra-articular injection (IAI) at knee joint 1 ml Diprospan on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. METHODS: Consecutive patients attending rheumatology or orthopaedic clinic with osteoarthritic pain not responding satisfactorily medical and physical therapy were asked participate in our study. After consent, had ultrasound-guided IAI Diprospan, containing 2 mg betamethasone sodium phosphate 5 dipropionate....
