Juvenile spondyloarthropathies are mainly manifested by symptoms of peripheral arthritis and enthesitis. Early involvement of sacroiliac joints and spine is exceptionally rare in children; this usually happens in adulthood. Conventional radiographs visualize late inflammatory lesions. Early diagnosis is possible with the use of ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. The first part of the article presented classifications and radiographic presentation of juvenile

Introduction: To date, suction drainage has been routinely used after hip joint replacement. Currently, the validity of this practice is questioned in the literature. Hematoma is a risk factor of periprosthetic infection. Post-operative ultrasonography enables precise assessment of hip joint hematoma.

Theoretical basics of color Doppler imaging and the Doppler effect
Doppler ultrasonography is recommended for the assessment of blood flow in the retrobulbar and carotid arteries. This examination was introduced in the 1980s. It consists in the determination of the level of artery stenosis on the basis of flow acceleration. An estimated accuracy of this method in the carotid arteries is ca. 50–79% when compared to selective arteriography(1). In the retrobulbar arteries, which are vessels with

In the past years, ultrasound imaging has become an integral element of the diagnostic process in rheumatic diseases. It enables the identification of a range of inflammatory changes in joint cavities, sheaths and bursae, and allows their activity to be assessed. In 2012, experts of the European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology prepared recommendations concerning the role of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal diseases. Ultrasound was considered the method of choice in

Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), radionuclide imaging, and ultrasonography(1,5–8). These examinations are useful to varying degrees for assessing both the cause and site of obstruction. However, ultrasonography is the least invasive initial imaging modality for the evaluation of jaundiced patients(4–6,9,10).
In resource-poor settings, ultrasound is often the only readily available method, with many of the other modalities being too expensive or unavailable to many patients. Furthermore, abdominal ultrasound is

High-frequency ultrasonography (HFUS) is a technological advance that has been used for over 30 years in dermatology(6-8). Although the value of HFUS as a method for differential diagnosis of skin cancer is still debatable, it gives a clear picture of the size and depth of the tumor, playing an important role in preoperative evaluation(9). Therefore, we would like to present the utility of HFUS in PDV.

It constitutes the most frequent abdominal site (50 to 58% of the abdominal locations) and is the third most frequent of the extrapulmonary locations(2–4). Clinical manifestations are nonspecific, causing frequent delays and diagnostic wanderings. Ultrasonography is the most common first-line examination of ascites, which is the most common presentation of peritoneal tuberculosis. This work aims to describe

Prompt diagnosis and appropriate therapy have been recognized as essential for improving clinical outcomes in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis. Despite the potential of ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging to visualize all tissues typically involved in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis, the diagnosis of early disease remains difficult due to

Conclusions: The correct evaluation of a fluid collection’s dynamics of development and nature requires periodic follow-up of the recipient, preferably in a single clinical center. Ultrasonography is an inexpensive, non-invasive and repeatable method for the determination of the presence of fluid collections. However, the decision whether treatment is necessary requires the sonographic image to

Ultrasonography, with its detailed imaging of the fetus, is very widely used in obstetrics. The primary aim of ultrasound scanning in pregnancy is to limit the risk of obstetric complications by early detection of abnormalities, such as intrauterine growth restriction and macrosomia. Currently, morphometric formulae are used for estimating fetal weight. They utilize basic biometric parameters. However, Hadlock formula, used for fetal weight estimation, has an error rate of 20%. For this reason

Posterior interosseous nerve palsy caused by a ganglion is not common and most previous patients were treated with excisional surgery. We treated a case conservatively with needle aspiration using ultrasonography, after a nerve conduction study. A 77-year-old man presented with impaired active finger extension of the left metacarpophalangeal joints. The nerve conduction study revealed conduction block of the left radial nerve near the elbow. Ultrasonography demonstrated a hypoechoic mass

In addition to standard diagnostic methods, such as cough stress test, pad test, voiding diary or urodynamic testing, ultrasonography is also likely to play an important role in the diagnosis and assessment of patients

This modality is referred to as the static, compression elastography and is based on tracking the deformation of tissue subjected to the slowly varying compression through the recording of the backscattered echoes. The displacement is estimated using the methods of cross-correlation between consecutive

However, a series of works proved the usefulness in the diagnostics of that pathology of transabdominal and endoscopic ultrasonography. In that method, the degree of adiposis was based on the comparison of echogenicity of the pancreas and the liver, renal parenchyma, spleen and/or retroperitoneal adipose. Recently, the evaluation was expanded by the evaluation of the degree of pancreatic adipose with the pancreas

More and more studies rely on ultrasonography (US) to measure muscle quality and size due to the imaging being a noninvasive and inexpensive procedure easily available to clinicians(1). Specifically, cross-sectional area (CSA) and echo intensity (EI) of skeletal muscles obtained with the use of ultrasound imaging provide crucial information regarding muscle composition and quality(2). CSA is a measurement of how large the muscle is, while EI is an index of muscle quality obtained

Distensibility and elasticity determined by vascular tone are two important parameters that reflect subclinical damage in arteries. There are many publications in the literature demonstrating that a decrease in distensibility and elasticity is associated with undesirable cardiovascular events and directly linked to subclinical atherosclerosis in the arteries.
