Value of Ultrasound Machine Settings Optimization for Better Diagnosis of Focal Liver Lesions
نویسنده
چکیده
Conclusion. Manual mode ultrasound procedure is more accurate in detection of focal liver parenchymal lesions because of reduced specificity in auto mode compared with higher specificity and small percentage of false positive results within manually adjusted scanner. We show the great value of best performance manual setting of the scanner in liver parenchymal focal lesions detecting.

Ultra sound due to its safety, low cost and ease of performance is the primary method of choice in liver imaging. In addition, at present time, real time sonography appears to be one of the most accurate guided technique for liver biopsy. This study was undertaken to evaluate the value of sonographically guided fine needle aspiration cytology ( FNAC) in diagnosis of foc...

Background: The objective was to explore the value of the CT value difference (△HU) and CT value ratio (CVR) between the hepatic arterial (AP), portal (PP), and delayed phases (DP) to differentiate the small Hepatocellular Carcinoma (SHCC, ≤ 3 cm) from the small Focal nodular hyperplasia (SFNH, ≤ 3 cm). Materials and Methods: All the lesions were confirmed by clinically and/or pathologically an...

Background In patients with abnormal uterine bleeding, transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) is the first-line diagnostic approach to exclude endometrial pathology. If a thickened endometrium suggests endometrial pathology, sonohysterography, office hysteroscopy or dilatation and curettage are the second-line tests preferred, depending on availability and on the suspected pathology, to exclude malignan...
