Ultrasonography01:17

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...

Muscles of the Shoulder01:23

Muscles of the Shoulder

9.6K
The muscles surrounding the shoulder girdle, including the clavicle and scapula, primarily stabilize the scapula. This stable base allows other muscles to move the humerus effectively. Scapular movements often mirror those of the humerus and extend its range of motion. For instance, raising the arm above the head would not be feasible without simultaneous upward rotation of the scapula.
Anterior Thoracic Muscles
The anterior thoracic muscles include the serratus anterior, subclavius, and...

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

2.4K
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...

Rheumatic Heart Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

895
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:

  • Musculoskeletal Radiology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Shoulder pain is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition in clinical practice.
  • Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is the primary tool for shoulder soft-tissue evaluation.
  • Ultrasonography (US) is emerging as a valuable complementary imaging modality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the utility and benefits of shoulder US as an adjunct to MR imaging.
  • To describe a standardized approach for performing shoulder US examinations.
  • To review common indications and characteristic US findings for shoulder pathologies.

Main Methods:

  • The review details the basic technique of shoulder US.
  • Normal shoulder anatomy visualized via US is presented.
  • Common shoulder pathologies and their US findings are correlated with MR imaging and arthroscopy.

Main Results:

  • US offers advantages like low cost, accessibility, and real-time dynamic assessment.
  • US is effective for evaluating superficial soft tissues, including the rotator cuff, bursa, and biceps tendon.
  • Standardized shoulder US enhances diagnostic accuracy and patient care.

Conclusions:

  • Shoulder US is a beneficial complementary tool to MR imaging for assessing shoulder pain.
  • A standardized US examination protocol is crucial for consistent, high-quality patient care.
  • Increased radiologist familiarity with shoulder US improves diagnostic expertise and satisfaction.
