Background And Objective: Radiosurgery can serve as a primary, adjuvant, or salvage treatment modality for cavernous sinus tumors (CST), providing high tumor control. However, particularly with cavernous sinus expansion, there may be insufficient distance from the optic apparatus to perform radiosurgery safely. The internal carotid artery adjacent to the distal dural ring (ICAddr), when enhancing similarly to the CST, can be difficult to delineate, and can lead to over-contouring of target volume near the optic nerve and therefore increasing the risk of radiation-induced optic toxicity.

Objectives: The enormous burden that cardiovascular diseases put on individuals and societies warrants reliable biomarkers of disease risk to optimize disease prevention. We studied longitudinal movement (LMov) in arterial walls using ultrasound of the common carotid artery (CCA). We believe that LMov could be a sensitive biomarker of cardiovascular health and in this study, we evaluate the intra-observer repeatability and inter-observer precision of our method.

Visual detection of pulselessness by carotid artery sonography - A prospective observational study among medical students.

Resuscitation

January 2025

Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, University Hospital of Giessen and Marburg, Campus Marburg, Marburg, Germany. Electronic address:

Aim: This cross-sectional study aimed to determine whether medical students with little to no ultrasound experience could correctly distinguish between 'pulsation present' and 'no pulsation present' after a short introductory video on the subject using ultrasound videos of the common carotid artery (CCA).

Methods: Ultrasound videos (B-mode, M-mode, and Color Doppler) of pulsatile (systolic blood pressure 70-80 mmHg) and non-pulsatile (cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, clamped aorta) CCA were created. These were demonstrated to the medical students for a period of ten seconds - corresponding to the duration of the manual pulse palpation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

The global effect of aortic coarctation on carotid and renal pulsatile hemodynamics.

PLoS One

December 2024

Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California, United States of America.

Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a congenital disease characterized by the narrowing of the aorta, typically the descending portion after the left subclavian artery. If left untreated, by the time individuals reach 50 years of age, the mortality rate can reach 90%. Previous studies have highlighted the adverse effects of CoA on local hemodynamics.

Article Synopsis
  • Contrast-free ultrasound imaging can effectively assess both benign and malignant lesions, but motion from nearby structures, like the carotid artery, significantly impacts image quality in the thyroid region.* -
  • This study presents a low-complex deep learning network that reduces inter-frame motion artifacts in ultrasound imaging, which enhances the visual quality of tumor microvessels.* -
  • Validation results reveal substantial improvements in image correlation metrics, with the proposed method showing a 20% increase in performance for in-vivo data and achieving real-time motion correction with a dramatic reduction in processing time.*
