Significance of Incidental Thyroid Findings in a Large Community-based Lung Cancer Screening Cohort.

Objectives: Investigate incidental findings of neck pathology on lung cancer screening computer tomography scans and determine clinical relevance in a population of heavy smokers.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted utilizing a database of patients who underwent a chest computed tomography (CT) through a robust community-based hospital lung cancer screening program in 2019 and 2020. Demographics, medical history, imaging reports, and any pathology results were analyzed.

Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound and High Sensitive Doppler for Monitoring Outcomes of Uterine Artery Embolization.

Rationale And Objectives: To monitor fibroid microvascularity using contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and a new high-sensitive Doppler mode (SMI) for assessment of uterine artery embolization (UAE) outcomes.

Materials And Methods: Forty women with symptomatic uterine fibroids scheduled for UAE were enrolled in this Institutional Review Board-approved study. Subjects underwent three examinations (day 0, 15, and 90 post-UAE) with Color Doppler (CDI), power Doppler (PDI), color and monochrome SMI (cSMI and mSMI), and CEUS imaging of the fibroids.
