Example question: Assume you have a transducer made of a PZT with an acoustic impedance of 29 MRayls. If the transducer is directly coupled to soft tissue with an acoustic impedance of 1.6 MRayls, what fraction of the intensity is ... more
Surgeries of the knee are usually painful and managing postoperative pain is challenging. Various methods of analgesia are available. Epidural is considered as gold standard but after the advent of ultrasound, peripheral nerve blockade of... more
We present the case of a patient with a history of unquantified fever and dyspnea of 1 week of evolution, who subsequently tested positive for COVID-19. He also reports presenting 2 months of evolution of increased testicular volume on... more
We describe methods to extract, measure and visualize three-dimensional shapes from Intracoronary Ultrasound (IVUS) videos recorded in vivo, with image segmentation for lumen and intima thickening, and functional model recovery from... more
Chest ultrasonography is a useful tool for assessing disease activity in the peripheral lung parenchyma, pleura, chest wall, diaphragm, and mediastinum. Ultrasound imaging also provides highly useful guidance in invasive diagnostic and... more
A 38-year-old woman presented with fever, right flank pain, and a clinical diagnosis of pyelonephritis. Work-up revealed the presence of a crossing arterial branch causing obstruction of the superior infundibulum of the right kidney,... more
Abstract Question: Are women in semi-urban city of Nigeria aware of alternative route of ultrasound scanning in early pregnancy aside trans-abdominal route(TAS) and what is the level of acceptance of trans-vaginal ultrasound... more
The unique anatomic features of the ophidian organs have direct consequences on the approaches used and the structures viewed during an ultrasonography examination; these include the organs mobility in the coelomic cavity and the... more
The ultimate diagnosis of prostate cancer involves histopathology analysis of tissue samples obtained through prostate biopsy, guided by either transrectal ultrasound (TRUS), or fusion of TRUS with multi-parametric magnetic resonance... more
Abstract: By appropriating both medical and communication technologies, the gender- reveal party has recently emerged as a ritual performance centered on a dramatically staged disclosure of the sex of a gestating fetus. The... more
Aims: Understanding the knowledge gaps among the public regarding radiation protection of each modality has helped to assess the community awareness and perception, which reflects our urgent need for more education for the public. This... more
Abstract The piezoelectric effect and its converse are the primary means used in biomedical ultrasound for converting acoustical energy into electrical energy and vice versa. Piezoelectricity has found many bioengineering applications... more
L’échographie est un outil non invasif, non irradiant, réalisable en temps réel et précis. Ses capacités diagnostiques lui permettent une application dans les champs musculo-squeletique, uro-gynécologique et cardio-respiratoire en... more
Objectives External carotid artery (ECA) stenosis is an independent mortality predictor. Additionally, concomitant ECA and internal carotid artery (ICA) stenoses progression has been associated with an increased risk of ipsilateral... more
The diagnosis of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) with ultrasonography (US) is dependent on measurements of pyloric diameter (PD), pyloric length (PL), and muscle thickness. The authors were unable to confidently diagnose the condition... more
