Imaging Studies II: Ultrasonography

553
IntroductionUltrasonography, or renal ultrasound, is a noninvasive medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and surrounding tissues.Indications for Urinary System UltrasonographyUrinary system ultrasonography is indicated in various clinical scenarios, such as:Kidney Stones (Urolithiasis): To detect and monitor the size and presence of kidney or urinary tract stones.Hydronephrosis: To assess the dilation of the renal pelvis and...

Imaging Studies I: Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder Studies

411
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...

Ultrasonography

8.1K
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:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Signal Processing
    • Reproductive Physiology

    Background:

    • Electrohysterogram (EHG) signals offer insights into uterine electrical activity.
    • Source imaging aims to localize EHG activity in the uterus with high temporal resolution.
    • Understanding uterine electrical activity is crucial for reproductive health research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the performance of different distributed source localization methods for EHG signals.
    • To determine the accuracy of reconstructing uterine electrical activity sources.
    • To identify factors influencing the precision of uterine source localization.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized electrohysterogram (EHG) signals for source imaging.
    • Compared various distributed source localization algorithms.
    • Quantified performance using a detection accuracy index.
    • Investigated the impact of electrode number and abdominal fat thickness.

    Main Results:

    • The variation-based source localization method demonstrated high accuracy in reconstructing extended uterine sources.
    • Increased electrode numbers significantly improved localization accuracy.
    • Decreased abdominal fat thickness also led to enhanced localization precision.
    • The method successfully estimated spatial distributions of uterine activity at millisecond scales.
