Ultrasonography01:17

Ultrasonography

8.2K
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...

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

2.3K
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...

Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation

564
Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Peripheral nerve lesion diagnosis requires imaging for etiological classification.
  • Standard MRI is insufficient; MRI neurography is time-consuming.
  • Ultrasonography offers a viable alternative for nerve diagnostics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utility of ultrasonography in diagnosing peripheral nerve lesions.
  • To highlight ultrasonography as a diagnostic tool for neuropathies.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing ultrasonography for peripheral nerve diagnostics.
  • Comparing ultrasonography with clinical neurological and electrophysiological investigations.

Main Results:

  • Ultrasonography enables reliable diagnosis of entrapment neuropathies and traumatic nerve lesions.
  • It allows differentiation between various forms of neuropathies.
  • Nerve ultrasonography provides structural information, significantly improving diagnostic accuracy.

Conclusions:

  • Nerve ultrasonography is recommended alongside clinical and electrophysiological tests for peripheral nerve lesions.
  • It is valuable for diagnosing entrapment neuropathies, traumatic nerve lesions, and nerve-space-occupying lesions.
