Background: The Chiari network, a remnant of fetal anatomy, consists of a mesh-like structure within the right atrium. With advancements in cardiac interventions, complications associated with the Chiari network have increasingly been reported. However, there are few reports about guidewire or catheter entrapment in the Chiari network during the insertion of a dialysis catheter.

Methods: Thirty patients highly suspected of having an intracranial aneurysm were imaged using TCCS and CE-TCCS. The ability to detect the aneurysms and determine their size and location accurately was compared with findings from digital subtraction angiography.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the application of sonography at the polyclinic of the Olympic/Paralympic village during the Olympic/Paralympic Games.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 759 consecutive patients who underwent sonography at the ultrasound division of the polyclinic in the Olympic/Paralympic village from July 20, 2008, to September 20, 2008. Prevalence of emergency sonography after sports injury and non-sports-related urgent conditions during the games was analyzed.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between intrarenal Doppler parameters and histopathologic changes shown on kidney biopsy in renal transplant dysfunction.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 113 patients (61 men and 52 women; age range, 22-76 years; mean age ± SD, 50.9 ± 12.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined the use of intraoperative contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for brain tumor resections in 29 patients.
- CEUS provided clearer imaging of tumor boundaries compared to traditional ultrasound, helping to distinguish between tumor and healthy tissue.
- This technique may be valuable for both pre-resection planning and post-resection assessment of remaining tumor tissue.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and therapeutic effectiveness of ultrasonography (US)-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (PMA) in the treatment of peripheral lung cancer.
Methods: From December 2002 to September 2003, 12 Chinese patients with 16 histologically proven lung malignant tumors (6 primary and 10 metastatic) were treated with US-guided PMA. All tumors were located at the peripheral portions of the lung where the tumors were in direct contact with visceral pleura and visualized on US.
