the wrist(5). Both calcium pyrophosphate dihydrates (CPPD) crystal deposition disease (CPDD) arthropathy and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are rheumatologic conditions associated with wrist instability and SLAC(6–9).
In case of nontraumatic wrist pain, and especially in the suspicion of rheumatologic diseases, the evaluation of internal wrist derangement is often neglected, as the majority of clinical and imaging studies are focused on synovitis(10). Moreover, even if ultrasound (US) and power Doppler

The abductor pollicis longus (white asterisk) and the ventral part of the retinaculum (white arrowhead) are unaffected. The transverse color Doppler image (B) and transverse power Doppler image (C) show increased vascularization (arrow heads) surrounding the EPB tendon due to tenosynovitis

Gray-Scale and power Doppler, and shear wave elastography (SWE) ultrasound (US) imaging
Real-time gray-scale and power Doppler US examination of bilateral wrists and hands were performed on a General Electric Logiq E9 machine using the 18–8 MHz linear hockey stick transducer per our routine inflammatory arthritis protocol. Dorsal and volar aspects of the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints were examined in their long and

Ultrasound contrast agents are not widely used in the differentiation of changes in the retrobulbar arteries, except for embolism in the ophthalmic artery or central retinal artery, which is in contrast to the carotid and cerebral arteries where these substances may be used(7).The addition of power Doppler (PD) to color Doppler ultrasonography has improved the sensitivity of detection of even small flows but without the

Ultrasound examinations were performed with Esaote MyLab 50 and MyLab 60 systems using high-frequency broadband linear transducers: 6–18 MHz. The nerves were evaluated in the gray-scale and in the power Doppler mode in longitudinal and transverse sections for localization, morphology and the grade of injury as well as for possible anatomic variants of the nerve trunk and pathologies of the adjacent tissues. Moreover, a

The ultrasound examination is used for performing the mapping biopsy of the prostate gland – from routine, strictly defined locations, the targeted biopsy – from locations suspected of neoplastic proliferation and the staging biopsy – from the neurovascular

The features that facilitate proper identifi cation of this tissue are: sharp margins, homogeneous structure, high compressibility under transducer pressure, no signs of infi ltration of the surroundingstructures and no signs of vascularization when examined with the color and power Doppler. The accumulation of fat tissue in the abdominal cavity can be generalized,regional or focal. The identifi cation of the adipose

ultrasound scan of the scrotum revealed a lesion located in the upper pole of the left testis, 24 mm in diameter with slightly decreased echogenicity and irregular contours, which suggested infiltration of the tunica albuginea of the testis. Color and power Doppler scans demonstrated a dense network of blood vessels and increased blood flow in the lesion described. In addition, 3D ultrasound scan images were obtained, which allowed for a thorough determination of the topography of the lesion. No
