Standardized grey scale ultrasonography in Graves' disease: correlation to autoimmune activity.
OBJECTIVE Graves' disease leads to thyroid enlargement and to reduction of tissue echogenicity. Our purpose was to correlate grey scale ultrasonography of the thyroid gland with clinical and laboratory findings in patients with Graves' disease. DESIGN Fifty-three patients with Graves'disease were included in our study, 100 euthyroid volunteers served as control group. Free thyroxine (FT(4)), ...
متن کاملGrey-scale ultrasonography in cholestatic jaundice.
Grey-scale ultrasonography was performed without access to detailed clinical information in a prospective study of 55 jaundiced patients. Forty-one were eventually proved to have an extrahepatic obstructive cause, and 14 had intrahepatic "medical" disease. Satisfactory ultrasound images were obtained in 54 patients, and the bile duct calibre was correctly reported in 53 (96%). All 14 medical ca...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Efficacy of Standardized Uptake Value (SUV)-shape Scheme for Thyroid Volume Determination in Graves’ Disease: A Comparison with Ultrasonography
Objective(s): In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of thyroid volume measurement using 99mTc pertechnetate single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images, acquired by the standardized uptake value (SUV)-shape scheme designed by our expert team.Methods: A total of 18 consecutive patients with Graves’ disease (GD) were subjected to both ultrasonographic and 99mTc pertechnet...
متن کاملGrey-scale ultrasonography and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography in biliary tract disease.
Fifty-one patients with suspected obstructive jaundice and 14 without jaundice in whom disease of the biliary tract was suspected but infusion cholangiography had been unhelpful were examined by grey-scale ultrasonography and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography and the findings analysed retrospectively. Grey-scale ultrasonography distinguished between obstructive and hepatocellular jaundi...
متن کاملFetal 2-D ultrasonography in maternal Graves’ disease
Graves’ disease complicates about 0.1-1.0% of all pregnancies [1,2]. Despite its rare occurrence in pregnant women, Graves’ disease constitutes a great therapeutic challenge. Maternal thyroid stimulating antibodies (TSAbs) cross the placenta and can overstimulate the fetal thyroid after the 20th week of gestation (WG), when fetal TSH receptors become responsive to TSH and TSAbs. On the other ha...
