An Imaging Panorama of Salivary Gland Lesions as seen on High Resolution Ultrasound.

Introduction: Lesions of salivary gland are quite common. Clinical examination alone is not able to differentiate between them and pinpoint the exact cause. It would definitely benefit the patient as well as the doctor if they could get an idea of the exact type of lesion affecting the salivary gland.

A classification of patterns of fetal middle cerebral artery velocity waveforms as seen on Doppler ultrasound.

Purpose: To identify, classify, and study the clinical significance of different patterns of fetal middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity waveforms that can be seen on Doppler ultrasound.

Materials And Methods: The patterns of fetal middle cerebral artery (MCA) velocity waveforms encountered in our study (n = 1128) conducted on a rural obstetric population were analyzed.

Results: Broadly, three different waveform-patterns (type I to type III) were identified from 1100 cases on which satisfactory studies were conducted.

A prospective cross-sectional study of fetal middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity in a normal obstetric population attending an Indian Medical College.

Purpose: Fetal middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity (MCA-PSV) is now an established method of noninvasive diagnosis of moderate to severe fetal anemia of different origins. This being a population-based parameter, it may have different values in individuals from different locations. A standard local reference range of normal individuals specific to each geographic locality is therefore needed.

The Foetal 'Mind' as a Reflection of its Inner Self: Evidence from Colour Doppler Ultrasound of Foetal MCA.

The unborn healthy foetus is looked upon as a blessing by one and all. A plethora of thoughts arise in the brains of expectant parents. But what goes on in the brain of the yet unborn still remains a mystery.

Fetal middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocities in a local Indian scenario.

Purpose: Measurement of fetal middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity (MCA-PSV) is now universally recommended for noninvasive assessment and follow-up of fetal anemia. However, a literature review suggests that the fetal MCA-PSV range is different for Asian and non-Asian populations. A study was therefore undertaken to compare and contrast MCA-PSV values in the local obstetrical population with those of previously published studies done elsewhere.
