The Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) US risk stratification management system is designed to provide consistent interpretations, decrease or eliminate ambiguity in reports resulting a higher probability of accuracy assigning malignancy ovarian other adnexal masses, recommendation for each category. It was developed by an international multidisciplinary committee sponsored the American College Radiology applies standardized reporting tool based on 2018 published lexicon...
Saline-infused sonohysterography (SIS) may help improve visualization of the endometrium and endometrial cavity assess tubal patency. Although most SIS procedures are straightforward, a variety pitfalls lead to an unsuccessful procedure or incomplete evaluation. should be scheduled between days 4 10 patient's menstrual cycle, when is at its thinnest, physiologic changes during secretory phase not present. Performing preprocedure imaging serves many purposes, such as depicting hydrosalpinx,...
To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of five computed tomographic (CT) criteria in differentiation perforated from nonperforated appendicitis.CT scans 94 patients with surgically proven appendicitis were classified on review as showing perforation if one CT findings was present. The authors calculated for each finding by comparing predicted outcome to surgical pathologic outcome.The group comprised 39 55 patients. Sensitivity abscess, phlegmon, extraluminal air, appendicolith, focal...
This multidisciplinary consensus update aligns prior Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound (SRU) guidelines on simple adnexal cysts with recent large studies showing exceptionally low risk cancer associated cysts. Most small do not require follow-up. For larger or less well-characterized cysts, follow-up second opinion US help to ensure that solid elements are missed and also useful for assessing growth benign tumors. In postmenopausal women, reporting greater than 1 cm should be done...
Since being introduced more than 30 years ago, endovaginal ultrasonography (US) and quantitative testing of serum levels the beta subunit human chorionic gonadotropin have become standard means establishing presence normal intrauterine pregnancy (IUP), failed IUP, ectopic pregnancy. Appropriate use these powerful tools requires clear, standardized interpretations based on conservative criteria to protect both mother. diagnoses are assigned earlier available medical treatments for IUP...
The variable sonographic appearance of duplication cysts is presented. Eighteen sonograms from 14 patients, aged 1 day to 8 years, were reviewed over an year period. Water and other aqueous contrast agents used in six patients as part the evaluation. All lesions confirmed by surgery. but two symptomatic. Twenty-four detected, ranging size 1.7 15.5 cm. revealed a spectrum findings (cystic solid appearing masses). mass characteristics, including "muscular rim sign," internal debris or...
Objectives Neonates in the neonatal intensive care unit often require considerable support with endotracheal tubes, umbilical arterial and venous catheters, peripherally inserted central catheters. Support device evaluation radiography exposes neonates to ionizing radiation. This study evaluated effectiveness of sonographic localization for Methods blinded prospective Institutional Review Board–approved, Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act–compliant informed consent compared...
The objective of our study was to determine the timing and frequency symptomatic hepatic artery thrombosis in an adult orthotopic liver transplant population, sensitivity Doppler sonography for this diagnosis, clinical outcomes population.The subjects included all recipients with transplants during a 10.5-year period. A retrospective review cases detected on angiography or at surgery correlated findings diagnosis. Clinical were recorded. Patients divided into early (< 1 week) late groups....
The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency and types significant vascular findings on bedside sonography immediately after renal transplantation which abnormalities would suggest a benefit from early surgical revision.Five hundred seventy-five transplant sonograms obtained within 4 hours surgery were retrospectively reviewed for major abnormalities: lack artery (RA) or vein (RV) flow, elevated peak systolic velocity (PSV)>300 cm/s, parvus tardus waveforms, markedly decreased no...
Pelvic adnexal torsion is a collective term referring to twisting of an ovary, fallopian tube, or paraovarian cyst on its axis with varying degrees vascular compromise. Although it the fifth most common gynecologic emergency, diagnosis challenging and often missed due symptoms, physical examination findings, imaging features that are nonspecific. Delay in salvage surgery may lead ovarian tubal loss, dysfunction, infertility. The tips shared herein based authors' observations key clinical...
Abstract The U.S. Supreme Court Dobbs decision has significantly impacted reproductive healthcare in the USA. While obstetricians are most directly affected, radiologists, radiation oncologists, and medical imaging professionals also involved care of pregnant patients, these legislative changes can alter our practices. In this commentary, we describe examples how legal landscape changed practice interventional radiology states affected by abortion bans, discuss some radiologist lead advocacy...
A randomized, single blind study of 20 patients examined the accuracy ultrasound in establishing position mandibular condyle relation to glenoid fossa. The sonographic technique is described. temporomandibular joint was imaged sonographically with an open- and a closed-mouth as model for condylar sag proper seating, respectively, during ramus osteotomy procedures. One radiologist identified correctly 38 40 still images, sensitivity specificity 95%. During real time examination, it possible...
