Ultrasonography01:17

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...

Rheumatic Heart Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

1.1K
The key clinical manifestations of Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) include several distinct cardiac symptoms.Carditis, a hallmark of acute rheumatic fever, involves inflammation of the heart's endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium. Chronic RHD often results from recurrent episodes of carditis. Its symptoms include the following:Murmurs are caused by valvular damage, especially to the mitral and aortic valves. Mitral stenosis or regurgitation is common, with characteristic heart murmurs...

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Rheumatology

    Background:

    • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) involves joint inflammation and bone erosion.
    • Current RA assessment methods can be improved with advanced imaging techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate automated 3-D ultrasound image analysis algorithms for RA assessment.
    • To segment and quantify bone surfaces and joint capsule regions in 3-D.

    Main Methods:

    • Proposed algorithms for 3-D bone surface and joint capsule segmentation.
    • Extended 2-D bone extraction to 3-D, enhancing robustness.
    • Utilized anatomical models and probabilistic speckle models for segmentation refinement.

    Main Results:

    • Applied methods to 51 volumes from 8 subjects, validated with expert annotations.
    • Achieved 94%/93% sensitivity/precision for bone surface detection and 87%/83% for joint capsule segmentation.
    • Quantitative comparison with MRI demonstrated high accuracy.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed image-analysis methods show promising results for RA assessment.
    • Computer-assisted tools can enhance 3-D joint visualization and quantitative RA measurement.
