Right ventricular (RV) myocardial work (RVMW) is the latest indicator to assess right ventricular function. The figure shows the main correlations between RVMW indices and other parameters of RV function. Our study revealed RVMW indices could be reliable parameters of myocardial systolic performance.

An example of GLS improvement in patient with hypertension and CHF with preserved EF initially and after 1 month of enhanced treatment with ACEi, diuretics (thiazide and loop) and BB. Left side – GLS = −12% on therapy with perindopril 10 mg, amlodipine 10 mg, spironolactone 25 mg; Right side – GLS = −16% on therapy with enalapril 40 mg, amlodipine 5 mg, spironolactone 25 mg, hydrochlorothiazide 12,5 mg, torasemide 5 mg, metoprolol 25 mg

A 51-year-old woman was admitted with a non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. Echocardiography showed significant post-systolic shortening (PSS) in the right ventricular (RV) free-wall segments, suggesting ongoing ischemia. Coronary angiography confirmed an occluded right coronary artery, treated by percutaneous coronary intervention. At 3-week follow-up, there was complete resolution of the RV-PSS.

Mid esophageal 4 chamber view showing the mass in RA (red arrow) immediately after insertion of coronary sinus catheter. LA, Left atrium; LV, Left Ventricle; RA, Right atrium; RV, Right ventricle.

This paper aims to explore the modern imaging methods which can be used to identify plaque composition and plaque vulnerability to provide a reference basis for disease diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

Fetal reversed end-diastolic flow of the middle cerebral artery is a rare ultrasound finding associated with pathological fetal conditions.

A 62-year-old female with ampullary carcinoma. The gray-scale ultrasound with gastrointestinal filling (a1); In the arterial phase, hyper-enhanced and inhomogeneous-enhanced of ampulla carcinoma with DCEUS (b1); In the venous phase, hypor-enhanced and inhomogeneous-enhanced of ampulla carcinoma with DCEUS (c1); Comparison with DCEUS, MRI Axial (a2)and coronal (b2 and c2) T1-weighted and T2-weighted in displaying the same patient, MRCP manifests as CBD proportional expansion, sudden narrowing of the distal CBD lumen (arrow). Histological outcomes: Pancreatobiliary-type Adenocarcinomas H&E 4× (a3) and H&E 100× (b3); M: mass CBD: common bile duct; PD: pancreatic duct; DUO: duodenum.

Ultrasonography and MRCP of a Bismuth-Corlette type IV HCCA patient. (A) The tumor invaded the grade 2 bifurcation of left and right hepatic duct in MRCP; (B) Traditional ultrasound showed that there was a space-occupying lesion in the hilar bile duct; (C) IV-CEUS showed that the tumor invaded the common hepatic duct, the left and right hepatic ducts. (D) Percutaneous transhepaticcholangial drainage was performed on the left and right intrahepatic bile ducts; (E) Contrast agent was injected through the drainage tube; (F) IB-CEUS showed that the tumor invaded the common hepatic duct, the left and right hepatic ducts.

We describe the case of a 75-years-old woman with history of left renal cell carcinoma that presented multiple organ dysfunction due to IVCT diagnosed by point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in the intensive care unit (ICU).

The combined application of FNAC, BRAF V600E mutation detection, and ultrasound elastography is more helpful in formulating an accurate diagnosis of DSV-PTC than the use of a single diagnostic technique alone.

Cavernous hemangioma is a rare, benign tumor and usually uncommon in adults. It is often difficult to diagnose in time because conventional medical imaging examinations usually fail to provide valid information. Clinicians should attach importance to the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound as an adjunct to rapidly diagnose cavernous hemangioma.

We present a rare case of male axillary accessory breast cancer, which is extremely rare and is indistinguishable from lymphadenopathy and other malignancies, such as lymphoma and skin-derived tumors. Clinicians should consider accessory breast cancer in the differential diagnosis even in men, particularly in those who present with superficially located tumors with adjacent accessory breast tissue.

Intertwin membrane insertion is a novel umbilical cord insertion abnormality. The presence of abnormal umbilical cord insertion is a risk factor for poor pregnancy outcomes in twin pregnancies.

Instructions: The Birth weight of Macrosomia Influence the Accuracy of Ultrasound Estimation of Fetal Weight at Term.

Prenatal ultrasonography has a high diagnostic accuracy in detecting PCA in the first trimester, which at the time of 11-14 scan is highly specific for the presence of a normal Corpus Callosum in the second trimester of pregnancy.

The non-visualization of cavum septum pellucidum and colpocephaly are critical signs in antenatal diagnosis of corpus callosum (CC) agenesis. More subtle findings (i.e., hypoplasia and partial agenesis) might also be recognized antenatally. In this review, the focus was given on the prenatal diagnosis of CC abnormalities in ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging.

We report a case of a fetal unilocular cystic mediastinal teratoma. The tumor presented as a large simple cystic mass, which became smaller after aspiration of the fetal tumor cyst fluid. The infant was born in good condition without neonatal respiratory distress, and the tumor was successfully removed by elective surgery at age 1 year.

This study evaluated the effect of disease-related beam attenuation when quantifying muscle echogenicity in subjects with muscular dystrophies. Grayscale analysis was performed in three muscles using a superficial versus a whole-muscle region of interest (ROI). In severely affected dystrophic muscles, the analysis of a superficial ROI was more representative of muscle texture changes.
