Abstract Objective To validate high-frequency ultrasound as a valuable imaging modality in the assessment of annular pulley system toes, describing their normal sonographic appearance and presenting some illustrative pathological cases. Materials methods The first phase this observational study involved examining flexor tendons toes series cadaveric specimens, testing ability to recognize these structures. In second phase, two expert sonographers examined sample 15 healthy adult participants...
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a very rare subtype of sarcoma, which frequently harbor chromosomal rearrangements, including anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangements (almost 50% the IMTs) and other fusions such as ROS1. ROS1 are present in about 10% IMT, almost half ALK-negative IMT patients. Apart from radical surgery for resectable tumors, there no standard-of-care therapy advanced IMTs. Nonetheless, use tyrosine inhibitors has shown promising efficacy patients with...
Accurate knowledge of vessel anatomy is essential in facial reconstructive surgery. The technological advances ultrasound (US) equipment with the introduction new high-resolution probes improved evaluation anatomical structures. Our study had these objectives: primary objective was to identify surgical landmarks for vein and verify their precision US, secondary evaluate potential US examination both artery vein.Two radiologists examined a prospective series adult volunteers 22-8 MHz...
The aim of the present study is to describe ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in patients with neuropathies affecting deep (DB) superficial (SB) branches Ulnar nerve (UN) investigate potential role modalities diagnostic workup these conditions.We screened our institutional database identify a diagnosis UN mononeuropathy, among them, we reviewed cases where US disclosed pathological terminal divisions. In this latter subgroup, retrieved available data on MRI...
Newly developed Doppler techniques enable the sampling of slow vascular flows and extrapolation spectral parameters in distal arterioles. The aim this study was to investigate role analysis performed by means ultra-high frequency ultrasound (US) evaluation peripheral bed systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients.Both hands 33 patients affected diffuse cutaneous SSc 34 volunteers were evaluated with a US machine equipped 33-9 MHz 18-5 transducers. Proximal resistive index peak systolic velocity (pRI...
Abstract Introduction/Aims The reason for the variable rate of progression patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) to thenar muscles impairment is not fully understood. aim this study was evaluate occurrence ultrasound signs recurrent motor branch (RMB) neuropathy in CTS and correlate imaging findings clinical electrophysiological data. Methods Two cohorts were recruited, one consisting electrodiagnostic evidence prolonged median distal latency from wrist eminence another sex‐ age‐matched...
Intrinsic hand muscles play a fundamental role in tuning the fine motricity of and may be affected by several pathologic conditions, including traumatic injuries, atrophic changes induced denervation, space-occupying masses. Modern surgery techniques allow to target muscle pathologies and, as direct consequence, requests for imaging now carry increasingly complex diagnostic questions. The progressive refinement ultrasound technology current availability high ultra-high frequency linear...
Patellar tendinopathy, or Jumper’s knee, is a painful knee condition caused by inflammation of the patella tendon. This most frequently observed in subjects who play sports that require repetitive regular jumping. misdiagnosed as minor injury and many athletes, like our patient, keep on training competing either tend to ignore attempt treat it themselves. However, jumper’s serious requires correct timely diagnosis, which often necessitates ultrasound investigation order start appropriate treatment.
Abstract Background The aim of this study was to validate high‐resolution ultrasound (US) as an imaging modality able map the normal marginal mandibular nerve (MMN) and recognize its abnormalities in postoperative setting. Methods ability US MMN first tested by injecting latex under guidance on three fresh frozen cadavers. Then, a standardized scanning protocol established 20 healthy volunteers based appropriate landmarks. Finally, postsurgical series patients with were examined US. Results...
Purpose The aim of this study was to report the prevalence secondary breast malignancies and analyze their radiological characteristics. Materials methods We collected 42,505 pathological reports mammary biopsies performed from January 2000 2019 in our hospital database, which we screened cancer breast. analyzed imaging data computed tomography (CT), ultrasound (US), mammography. Mammograms, CT scans, US images were reviewed by two radiologists. Prevalence malignancy among suspicious masses...
Parsonage-Turner syndrome (PTS) is an idiopathic condition that may be triggered by vaccination against SARS-CoV-2. High-resolution ultrasound can support the diagnosis and monitoring of PTS patients demonstrating specific nerve abnormalities. The recently implemented superb microvascular imaging technology help stratify prognosis these patients, with potential to contribute clinical management PTS.
Plantar intrinsic muscles play a pivotal role in posture control and gait dynamics. They help maintain the longitudinal transverse arches of foot, they regulate degree velocity arch deformation during walking or running. Consequently, pathologies affecting plantar (for instance, acquired inherited neuropathies) lead to foot deformity, disorders, painful syndromes. Intrinsic muscle malfunctioning is also associated with multifactorial overuse degenerative conditions such as pes planus, hallux...
