Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

2.5K
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

8.3K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Diagnostic Ultrasound

Background:

  • Real-time Tissue Elastography™ has been available for ten years, with multiple elastography applications now in existence.
  • Standardized breast elastography classifications are needed for precise knowledge and effective clinical application.
  • Existing classifications lack comprehensive guidelines for both technical execution and image interpretation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose standardized classifications for breast elastography.
  • To provide guidelines for technical aspects of image acquisition and interpretation criteria.
  • To enhance the clinical utility and understanding of breast elastography.

Main Methods:

  • Development of two classification systems: technical and interpretation-based.
  • Review of a decade of evidence and clinical experience in breast elastography.
  • Analysis of the characteristics and specificity of various vendor equipment.

Main Results:

  • Introduction of a technical classification detailing vibration energy use and image acquisition for optimal elastic images.
  • Presentation of an interpretation classification based on a decade of evidence.
  • Description of the specific characteristics and performance of different elastography equipment vendors.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed breast elastography classifications offer a framework for standardized practice.
  • These guidelines aim to improve the accuracy and consistency of breast elasticity imaging.
  • The classifications are expected to benefit physicians and examiners globally in breast lesion assessment.
