Renal Masses With Equivocal Enhancement at CT: Characterization With Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound.

Objective: The purpose of this article is to retrospectively investigate in two radiology centers the role of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the characterization of renal masses with equivocal enhancement at CT (i.e., with a density increase of 10-20 HU between unenhanced and contrast-enhanced scans) not characterized with conventional ultrasound modes.

Role of US in acute scrotal pain.

Background: The acute scrotum is a common emergency department (ED) presentation and can be defined as any condition of the scrotum or intrascrotal contents requiring emergent medical or surgical intervention. Although rarely fatal, acute scrotal pathology can result in testicle infarction and necrosis, testicular atrophy, infertility, and significant morbidity.

Methods: Scrotal US is best performed with a linear 7.

Aseptic nonunion and delay in consolidation in the tibia: treatment by intramedullary nailing and using the Ilizarov method.

The authors present a clinical-radiographic study on two groups of patients affected with aseptic nonunion and delays in consolidation of the tibia treated by intramedullary nailing (24 cases) and Ilizarov method (29 cases). Nailing was locked in 12 cases and associated with resection of the fibula in 15 (in 8 locked nailing). Autoplastic bone grafts were applied in 3 cases of atrophic nonunion.
