Imaging Studies II: Ultrasonography

459
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...

Ultrasonography

7.7K
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...

Doppler Effect - I00:56

Doppler Effect - I

6.4K
The Doppler effect and Doppler shift were named after the Austrian physicist and mathematician Christian Johann Doppler in 1842, who conducted experiments with both moving sources and moving observers. Consider an observer standing on a street corner, observing an ambulance with a siren sound passing by at a constant speed. The observer experiences two characteristic changes in the sound of the siren. Initially, the sound increases in loudness as the ambulance approaches and decreases in...

Doppler Effect - II01:05

Doppler Effect - II

4.8K
The Doppler effect has several practical, real-world applications. For instance, meteorologists use Doppler radars to interpret weather events based on the Doppler effect. Typically, a transmitter emits radio waves at a specific frequency toward the sky from a weather station. The radio waves bounce off the clouds and precipitation and travel back to the weather station. The radio frequency of the waves reflected back to the station appears to decrease if the clouds or precipitation are moving...

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

1.6K
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...

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs02:26

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

18.8K
Sequencing of the human genome has opened up several best-kept secrets of the genome. Scientists have identified thousands of genome variations that exist within a population. These variations can be a single nucleotide or a larger chromosomal variation.
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...

    Summary

    Vector flow imaging (VFI) on a portable ultrasound accurately measured peak-systolic velocity (PSV) in common carotid arteries. VFI revealed significant angle variations, highlighting potential errors in standard spectral Doppler ultrasonography (SDU) velocity estimates.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Cardiovascular Ultrasound
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Spectral Doppler ultrasonography (SDU) is standard for measuring blood flow velocities, but is angle-dependent.
    • Accurate velocity estimation is crucial for diagnosing vascular conditions.
    • Portable ultrasound devices offer accessibility but require robust measurement techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a novel vector flow imaging (VFI) method for in vivo velocity estimation using a portable ultrasound scanner.
    • To compare VFI measurements of peak-systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV), and resistive index (RI) with SDU.
    • To assess the variation in beam-to-flow angle during the cardiac cycle.

    Main Methods:

    • A vector flow imaging (VFI) method was implemented on a portable ultrasound system.
    • Seventeen healthy volunteers underwent VFI and SDU scans of the common carotid arteries (CCAs).
    • Measurements of PSV, EDV, and RI were compared between VFI and SDU.

    Main Results:

    • VFI demonstrated low measurement variability for velocity magnitude (7.3% SD) and angle (3.84° SD).
    • SDU showed a positive bias for PSV (0.31 ms⁻¹) and significant correlation (r=0.6) with VFI.
    • SDU exhibited slight bias for EDV and RI, with low, non-significant correlations; significant beam-to-flow angle variations were observed during the cardiac cycle.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed VFI method is suitable for in vivo PSV measurement in CCAs using a portable ultrasound.
    • Significant variations in beam-to-flow angle during the cardiac cycle can introduce substantial errors in SDU velocity estimates.
    • VFI offers a promising alternative for more accurate, angle-independent velocity assessment in vascular ultrasound.
