Ultrasonography

Ultrasonography

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...

Imaging Studies VI: Voiding Cystourethrography and Cystography

Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG) and Cystography are specialized radiographic procedures used to examine the structure and function of the bladder and urethra.Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG)A Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG) is a diagnostic imaging procedure that assesses the anatomy and function of the lower urinary tract. It focuses on the bladder, bladder neck, and urethra, helping detect abnormalities such as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)—the backward or reverse flow of urine into the...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Prostate cancer (PCa) detection using in-vivo viscosity via shear-wave elastography (SWE) shows promise. Viscosity alone achieved an AUC comparable to elasticity, suggesting its potential as an adjunctive biomarker for PCa localization.

Area of Science:

Biomedical Engineering
Medical Imaging
Oncology

Background:

Shear-wave elastography (SWE) is an advanced imaging technique.
Estimating tissue viscosity in vivo is challenging but potentially valuable for disease detection.

Purpose of the Study:

To estimate in vivo prostate viscosity using SWE.
To assess the potential of viscosity, alongside elasticity, for prostate cancer (PCa) localization.

Main Methods:

197 patients underwent 3D SWE scans.
Voxel-based viscosity and shear-wave (SW) velocity were computed using system identification (SI).
Convolutional neural networks and ROC curves were used for performance evaluation.

Main Results:

Both elasticity and viscosity were significantly higher in malignant prostate regions.
Viscosity from SI achieved an AUC of 0.68 for PCa detection.
Viscosity's AUC was comparable to elasticity's AUC for PCa localization.

Conclusions:

This study reports the first in-vivo voxel-based prostate viscosity using SWE.
Viscosity alone demonstrated comparable performance to elasticity for PCa detection.
Viscosity holds potential as an adjunctive biomarker for prostate cancer localization.
