Ultrasound II: Endoscopic Ultrasound and FibroScan

Ultrasound II: Endoscopic Ultrasound and FibroScan

Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) and FibroScan are valuable diagnostic tools in gastroenterology and hepatology, each with specific applications and techniques.
Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS):

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

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...

Imaging Studies II: Ultrasonography

Imaging Studies II: Ultrasonography

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

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 a...

Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination

Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination

Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...

Imaging Studies VI: Voiding Cystourethrography and Cystography

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...

Area of Science:

Gynecologic Oncology
Medical Imaging
Radiology

Background:

The 2025 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) Cancer Report provides updated guidelines for gynecologic malignancies.
Ultrasound plays a variable role in the diagnosis and management of these cancers.

Purpose of the Study:

To summarize the ultrasound-specific recommendations from the 2025 FIGO Cancer Report.
To serve as a practical reference for radiologists regarding ultrasound applications in gynecologic cancers.

Main Methods:

Review of the ultrasound-relevant sections of the 2025 FIGO Cancer Report.
Synthesis of information on ultrasound's role in diagnosing and staging cervical, endometrial, vaginal, vulvar, ovarian, and fallopian tube cancers, and gestational trophoblastic disease.

Main Results:

Ultrasound is crucial for initial diagnosis and surgical planning in endometrial cancer and gestational trophoblastic disease.
Transvaginal ultrasound assesses endometrial thickness, while transrectal ultrasound aids in cervical cancer staging and brachytherapy.
Ultrasound is a primary tool for adnexal mass assessment in ovarian and fallopian tube cancers, contributing to the Risk of Malignancy Index.

Conclusions:

The utility of ultrasound varies significantly across gynecologic malignancies.
While valuable for initial assessment and local staging, ultrasound has limitations in evaluating nodal spread and distant metastases.
Integrating ultrasound with cross-sectional imaging and biomarkers enhances comprehensive gynecologic cancer evaluation.
