Axillary lymph node (ALN) staging is crucial for the management of invasive breast cancer (BC). Although various radiological investigations are available, ultrasound (US) is the preferred tool for evaluating ALNs. Despite its immediacy, widespread use, and good predictive value, US is limited by intra- and inter-operator variability.

Article Synopsis
  • * Diagnosis is based on recognizing specific characteristics of the lesions and the chronic nature of the disease, without the need for definitive biological tests or biopsies.
  • * Treatment options depend on the disease's severity and can involve antibiotics, hormonal therapies, and surgery, with imaging techniques like high-frequency ultrasound being essential for accurate assessment and monitoring of the condition.

Background: Prenatal ultrasound is the preferred modality for diagnosing fetal congenital heart disease. Given issues of physician proficiency and hospital distribution, we propose a dynamic sequential cross-sectional scanning (SCS) to explore the feasibility of cardiac screening by sonographers with less than 5 years of experience in ultrasound.

Materials And Methods: Twenty residents were randomly divided into two groups, receiving training in the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) fetal echocardiography and the SCS method.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study highlights the anatomy of the carpal tunnel and identifies four potentially dangerous anatomical variations that could lead to nerve or vessel injuries during minimally invasive carpal tunnel release surgeries.
  • - Researchers examined the carpal tunnel in 104 wrists from 52 body donors and measured distances between critical neurovascular structures like the median nerve and ulnar artery to determine their proximity.
  • - The authors recommend using preoperative ultrasound assessments to help minimize the risk of neurovascular injuries, particularly in patients with these identified anatomical variations.

: Rock climbing is becoming more popular, leading to an increased focus on diagnosing and treating related injuries. Finger pulley and flexor tendon injuries are common among climbers, with the A2 pulley being the most frequently affected. High-resolution ultrasound (US) is the preferred method for detecting pulley injuries.
