OBJECTIVES Breast lymphedema has supplanted upper extremity lymphedema as a common and debilitating sequela of breast cancer treatment, but has no objective measurement. We assessed the utility of ultrasound-measured difference in dermal thickness between affected and unaffected breasts as a measure of breast lymphedema. We associated this measure with patient characteristics, treatment parameters, and patient-reported impact on quality of life. METHODS We enrolled 30 invasive breast carcinoma p...

OBJECTIVES The sacral ratio (SR) was described as a postnatal X-ray-based method to detect sacral abnormalities and predict functional prognosis for fecal continence in children with anorectal malformations (ARMs). The present study aimed to describe a novel method of assessing sonographic fetal sacral ratio (f-SR) in a normal population of fetuses. METHODS Sixty three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound reconstruction images of the sacrum obtained from routine low-risk scans performed between 21 and 26...
Introduction null Measurements of the umbilical vein diameter (UVD) and blood flow (mL/min) (UVF) have been demonstrated to be decreased in fetuses with growth restriction (FGR) using gestational age (GA) as the independent variable. However, no previous studies have used the biparietal diameter (BPD), head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC), femur length (FL), and the estimated fetal weight (EFW) to create equations to be used for z-score computations when evaluating fetuses at ri...
OBJECTIVES To assess the impact of marginal (MCI) or velamentous (VCI) cord insertion on uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA PI), preeclampsia (PE), and offspring's birthweight (BW). METHODS A retrospective cohort study of singleton pregnancies, undergoing routine anomaly scan at 20+0 -23+6 gestational weeks, was conducted between 2016 and 2020. The effect of placental cord insertion on BW and UtA mean PI z-scores was assessed using the t test or analysis of variance and post-hoc tests; their ...
Objectives null We sought to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) saline infusion sonohysterogram (SIS), and hysteroscopy for diagnosing endometrial abnormalities and their correlation with histological findings. In addition, we sought to validate the subsistence of a more subtle abnormality called "redundant endometrium" (RE). null Methods null Retrospective cohort study of patients presenting with infertility and diagnosed with endometrial abnormalities who underw...
Objectives null Calcium depositions are frequent in multiple inflammatory dermatosis, they can be explored by ultrasound (US) but the patterns of these depositions have not yet been described. The aim of this study is to describe different patterns of calcium deposition in inflammatory dermatoses. null Methods null The clinical and US data of 58 patients from 7 different centers with inflammatory dermatosis showing ultrasonography-detected calcium depositions was retrospectively reviewed. null R...
Purposes null To evaluate the postsurgical prognostic implication of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (CHC). To build a CEUS-based early recurrence prediction classifier for CHC, in comparison with tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging. null Methods null The CEUS features and clinicopathological findings of each case were analyzed, and the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System categories were assigned. The recurrence-free survival associated fact...

BACKGROUND This pilot study aims at exploiting machine learning techniques to extract color Doppler ultrasound (CDUS) features and to build an artificial neural network (ANN) model based on these CDUS features for improving the diagnostic performance of thyroid cancer classification. METHODS A total of 674 patients with 712 thyroid nodules (TNs) (512 from internal dataset and 200 from external dataset) were randomly selected in this retrospective study. We used ANN to build a model (TDUS-Net) fo...

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the significance of the double line appearance of the septi pellucidi laminae (SPL) on fetal ultrasound. METHOD A total of 522 uncomplicated singleton pregnancies (15 to 39 weeks' gestational age) with fetal ultrasounds were enrolled. The presence of a single versus double line SP as well as measurement of the cavum septi pellucidi (CSP) was determined retrospectively. Ultrasound settings from the CSP images were recorded. Thickness of the SPL was measured in 20 ultrasou...
