Abstract The updated version of the EFSUMB guidelines on application non-hepatic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) deals with use microbubble contrast outside liver in many established and emerging applications.
Abstract The updated version of the EFSUMB guidelines on application non-hepatic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) deals with use microbubble contrast outside liver in many established and emerging applications.
Because of concern over medical ionizing radiation exposure children, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has generated interest as an inexpensive, radiation-free alternative to CT and MRI. CEUS received approval for pediatric hepatic use but remains off-label a range other applications. The purposes this study were retrospectively analyze adverse incidents encountered in assess the financial benefits reducing number MRI examinations performed.All (patients 18 years younger) performed...
To determine the usefulness of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in characterizing grey-scale sonographic indeterminate focal liver lesions (FLL) pediatric practice.Local Ethics Board approval waiver was attained. Consent for CEUS examinations acquired from parents. Forty-four children referred assessment FLL over a 5-year period underwent standard multiphase performed by experienced operators. A phospholipid microbubble agent used and low mechanical index imaging techniques employed....
Pediatric pneumonia can be complicated by necrotizing or a parapneumonic effusion either in the form of an empyema clear effusion. Ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography represent well-established modalities for evaluation pediatric pneumonia. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) was recently introduced is gaining increasing acceptance imaging. In this case series, we present our initial experience with both intravenous intracavitary use CEUS children Intravenous accurately confidently...
Abstract The European Federation of Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB) created the “EFSUMB Pediatric Registry” (EFSUMB EPR) with purpose collecting data regarding intravenous application pediatric contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). primary aim was to document current clinical practice usefulness technique secondarily assess CEUS safety children. We issue preliminary results this database examine overall children Europe.
Abstract Background Liver transplantation is the state-of-the-art curative treatment for end-stage liver disease. Imaging a key element in detection of postoperative complications. So far, limited data available regarding best radiologic approach to monitor children after transplantation. Objective To harmonize imaging pediatric transplantation, European Society Pediatric Radiology Abdominal Taskforce initiated survey addressing current status including pre-, intra-, and phases. This paper...
We aimed to provide an evidence-supported approach diagnose, monitor, and treat children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). The core group formulated seven PICO-structured clinical questions. A systematic literature search from inception December 2022 was conducted by a medical librarian using MEDLINE EMBASE. Core messages the were phrased as position statements then circulated sounding board composed of international experts in pediatric...
Extra-testicular lesions are usually benign but present with nonspecific grey-scale sonography findings. This study assesses conventional sonographic characteristics in the differentiation of extra-testicular tumoural from inflammatory and whether contrast-enhanced ultrasound has a role. A retrospective database analysis was performed. All patients were examined by experienced sonographers employing standard techniques combining grey-scale, colour Doppler ultrasound. Features recorded were:...
Primary testicular lymphoma is rare and appears with nonspecific findings on grayscale color Doppler sonography. We present 8 patients further examined contrast-enhanced sonography, strain elastography, histologic analysis after orchiectomy. Seven of had a diagnosis large B-cell lymphoma, 1 granulocytic sarcoma, solitary lesions (2 8), multiple (3 or entire involvement 8). Lesions appeared hypoechoic (7 8) isoechoic (1 all increased vascularity sonography nonbranching linear pattern...
Conventional ultrasonography (US), including greyscale imaging and colour Doppler US (CDUS), is pivotal for diagnosing scrotal pathologies, but it has limited specificity. Historically, solid focal testicular abnormalities often led to radical orchidectomy. This retrospective study evaluated the utilisation of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) strain elastography (SE) in investigating intratesticular abnormalities. A total 124 cases were analysed. underscored superior diagnostic...
Invasive fungal infections (IFI) remain a leading cause of mortality in liver transplant (LTX) patients with neutropenia. Hematopoietic growth factors and granulocyte transfusions (GTx) have been historically used neutropenia after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) to treat IFI, but none thus far, pediatric recipients (PLTR). We evaluated the safety effect GTx for life-threatening refractory conventional antifungal treatment, PLTR hepatitis-associated aplastic anemia (HAAA) at...
