The impact of V-flow on preoperative diagnosis of thyroid tumors: individually and as part of multimodal sonographic imaging.

V-flow is a dynamic ultrasound technique that visualizes perfusion patterns by displaying dynamic arrows that change in response to the flow of erythrocytes. Furthermore, it provides quantitative values for the maximum and mean velocity of blood flow as well as a percentage value for turbulence. The aim was to enhance the preoperative diagnostic accuracy of thyroid lesions by combining V-flow with established ultrasound modes.

Multiparametric Sonographic Imaging of Thyroid Lesions: Chances of B-Mode, Elastography and CEUS in Relation to Preoperative Histopathology.

Background: The aim was to improve preoperative diagnostics of solid non-cystic thyroid lesions by using new high-performance multiparametric ultrasound examination techniques.

Methods: Multiparametric ultrasound consists of B-mode, shear-wave elastography and contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) including Time-Intensity-Curve (TIC) analysis. A bolus of 1-2.

Multiparametric Ultrasound of Cervical Lymph Node Metastases in Head and Neck Cancer for Planning Non-Surgical Therapy.

Background: We aimed to evaluate multiparametric ultrasound, to achieve a better understanding of the baseline characteristics of suspected cervical lymph node metastases in head and neck cancer before induction chemotherapy or chemoradiation.

Methods: From February 2020 to April 2021, our complete ultrasound examination protocol was carried out on clinically evident malignant lymph nodes of histologically proven HNSCC in the pre-therapeutic setting.

Results: A total of 13 patients were eligible for analysis.
