Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of ultrasound (US)-guided percutaneous MWA for benign thyroid nodules with cosmetic problems and identify related factors contributing to post-ablative complete relief (CR).
Methods: This retrospective study reviewed the efficacy of MWA in treating thyroid nodules in patients with cosmetic problems who underwent MWA from January 2021 to May 2023. Patients were followed up at 1, 3, and 6 months after MWA.
Article Synopsis
- Most existing research on thyroid nodules has focused on diagnostic processes using artificial intelligence (AI), with few studies evaluating AI's detection performance.
- This study examined the effectiveness of a real-time AI system in detecting thyroid nodules by comparing its performance with radiologists of varying experience levels and identified factors that impact detection accuracy.
- Results showed that while the AI outperformed a junior radiologist, it was not as effective as a senior radiologist; however, combining AI with radiologists significantly improved detection rates, highlighting AI's potential as an effective support tool in clinical settings.
Purpose: This study evaluated the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in the ultrasound-guided microwave ablation (MWA) treatment of symptomatic focal uterine adenomyosis.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted between March 2020 and January 2023, enrolling 52 patients with symptomatic focal uterine adenomyosis who had undergone MWA. All patients were examined with CEUS before and after MWA.
Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the liver: sonographic and CT findings.
Hepatobiliary Pancreat Dis Int
February 2015
Background: A preoperative diagnosis of primary hepatic lymphoma (PHL) can have profound therapeutic and prognostic implications. Because of the rarity of PHL, however, there are few reports on diagnostic imaging. We reviewed the clinical and radiologic findings of 29 patients with PHL, the largest series to date, to evaluate the diagnostic features of this disease.

However, few studies have been performed on the use of ARFI quantification in kidney examinations. We evaluated renal allograft stiffness using ARFI quantification in patients with stable renal function (n = 52) and those with biopsy-proven allograft dysfunction (n = 50).

Objective: To investigate the sonographic features of the cervical lymph nodes in rabbit VX2 tongue carcinoma model and hyperplasia cervical lymph nodes model using gray scale contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) after intravenous administration of SonoVue (a sonographic contrast agent) and to evaluate the potential utility of CEUS in detecting early metastatic cervical lymph nodes in the rabbit VX2 tongue carcinoma model.
Methods: Twenty New Zealand rabbits were placed into 2 groups, 12 for node metastasis and 18 for node hyperplasia. Cervical CEUS was performed in the rabbits of both groups before and after intravenous administration of SonoVue(0.
