Application of Shear Wave Elastography and Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound in Transrectal Prostate Biopsy.

Objective: To explore the clinical value of ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in transrectal prostate biopsy.

Methods: A total of 54 patients (average age: 67.79±12.

[Value of Transperineal Ultrasound in Short-term Evaluation of Pelvic Organ Prolapse after Transvaginal Mesh Implantation].

Objective To observe the patients after transvaginal mesh(TVM)implantation surgery by using transperineal ultrasound(TPUS),compare the diagnosis of pelvic organ prolapse(POP)by TPUS and clinical examination[according to the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification(POP-Q)system published by the International Continence Society],and to explore the role of ultrasound in postoperative evaluation as well as the high-risk factors of post-surgery POP recurrence. Methods This is a retrospective study based on the POP-Q records and TPUS data sets of patients within 6 months after TVM surgery during September 2013 and November 2019.The diagnostic results of TPUS and POP-Q were compared.

A rare diaphragm in the common carotid artery: A first case report and literature review.

Rationale: We present a case of common carotid artery (CCA) diaphragm. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the imaging literature.

Patient Concerns: A 33-year-old woman presented herself to an annual health examination without any report of ill health.

Dynamic characteristic mechanism of atrial septal defect using real-time three-dimensional echocardiography and evaluation of right ventricular functions.

The dynamic characteristics of the area of the atrial septal defect (ASD) were evaluated using the technique of real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT 3DE), the potential factors responsible for the dynamic characteristics of the area of ASD were observed, and the overall and local volume and functions of the patients with ASD were measured. RT 3DE was performed on the 27 normal controls and 28 patients with ASD. Based on the three-dimensional data workstations, the area of ASD was measured at P wave vertex, R wave vertex, T wave starting point, and T wave terminal point and in the T-P section.

[Reduction of missing report rate of breast cancer in clinical breast examination].

Objective: To explore the methods of reducing the missing report rate of breast cancer in clinical breast examination (CBE).

Methods: The investigators analyzed the data of abnormal breast physical examination in 2181 females and the missing report rate of breast cancer in various kinds of examination methods.

Results: Interrogation and inspection reduced the missing report rate by 5% in all cases.
