Heart Model Three-Dimensional Echocardiographic Evaluation of Left Ventricular Function and Parameter Setting.

Objective: This study aims to explore the feasibility of HeartModel (HM) three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) to assess left ventricular function and discover suitable border parameter settings.

Methods: A total of 113 patients that underwent echocardiography in our hospital were eligible for inclusion. The HM 3DE (HM method) and conventional 3DE (3D method) were used to analyze echocardiography images.

The Value of Ultrasound-Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology Combined with Puncture Feeling in the Diagnosis of Thyroid Nodules.

Introduction: There are few studies on the role of puncture feeling in thyroid nodules during ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology (US-FNAC), although it is expected to become a new predictive technique. We aimed to analyze the importance of puncture feeling in combination with US-FNAC and investigate whether it can be used as an indicator to predict the nature of thyroid nodules.

Materials And Methods: From January 1, 2018, to October 31, 2020, a total of 623 thyroid nodules were included.
