Imaging Studies I: Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder Studies

679
Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) StudiesKidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) studies are standard diagnostic imaging procedures used to assess the anatomy of the urinary system. They are commonly utilized for patients experiencing abdominal pain or urinary symptoms. By using a simple X-ray of the abdomen, KUB studies can reveal structural and pathological abnormalities within the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. These studies are particularly valuable in diagnosing kidney stones, urinary...

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

2.9K
Introduction:
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...

Ultrasonography

8.4K
Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called...

Mitral Stenosis II: Clinical features and Diagnostic Tests

462
Mitral stenosis is a heart condition in which the mitral valve, which allows blood to flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle, becomes narrowed or stenotic. This narrowing hinders blood flow and leads to clinical symptoms requiring specific medical evaluations and management strategies. The following overview outlines the clinical symptoms, assessments, diagnostic findings, prevention methods, and treatments for mitral stenosis.Clinical ManifestationsDyspnea (shortness of breath): This...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Radiology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Kienbock disease, or lunatomalacia, involves avascular necrosis of the lunate bone.
  • Wrist pain and dysfunction can significantly impact quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of Kienbock disease diagnosed and monitored with diagnostic ultrasonography.
  • To illustrate the progression of lunatomalacia despite previous surgical intervention.

Main Methods:

  • A 27-year-old male with a 3-year history of wrist pain presented with diagnosed lunatomalacia.
  • Imaging modalities including radiography and ultrasonography were utilized.
  • The patient underwent prior radial osteotomy and vascularized bone graft.

Main Results:

  • Diagnostic ultrasonography identified progressive collapse and fragmentation of the lunate.
  • Scapholunate advanced collapse of the wrist developed over a 2-year follow-up period.
  • Conservative care, including laser therapy and splinting, provided minimal pain relief.

Conclusions:

  • This case demonstrates the utility of diagnostic ultrasonography in visualizing Kienbock disease progression.
  • It highlights the challenges in managing chronic wrist pain and progressive lunate collapse post-surgery.
  • This is the first reported case of Kienbock disease identified using diagnostic ultrasonography.
