Ultrasonography01:17

Ultrasonography

6.5K
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...

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

614
Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

460
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...

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

298
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Breast Imaging
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Core needle biopsies are frequently performed in breast imaging centers.
  • Ultrasound guidance is the standard of care for biopsying visible breast and axillary lesions.
  • Radiologists interpret breast imaging, correlating mammography, ultrasound, and MRI for accurate localization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the indications for ultrasound-guided breast biopsies.
  • To outline strategies for accurate lesion targeting and biopsy techniques.
  • To cover post-biopsy management and radiologic-pathologic concordance.

Main Methods:
