Introduction In the past few years the use of musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) in pediatric rheumatology has proven to be better than clinical examination in detecting synovitis. Beside standard power doppler ultrasound (PDUS), vascularization of the tissues can be assessed using 3D/4D PD sonography. Using this technique, we can now assess a virtually reconstructed vascular tree within a volum...

In this review article we describe how 3D ultrasound imaging overcomes these limitations. Specifically, we describe the developments of a number of 3D ultrasound imaging systems using mechanical, free-hand and 2D array scanning techniques. The research presents a work of fiction multifunctional platform focusing on the clinical diagnosis of kidneys and their pathology (tumors, stones and cysts)...

More recent technological breakthroughs in diagnostic ultrasound have surpassed all expectations. With these advances, clinicians now have the tools needed to contend with many significant diagnostic challenges. However, these new technologies are so numerous and have been introduced in such rapid succession that considerable confusion surrounds their operation and application. Indeed, with the...

Title: Atlas-augmented ultrasound guidance of lumbar epidural needle insertions Primary Author: Abtin Rasoulian MSs. University of British Columbia Additional Author(s): Allaudin Kamani MD British Columbia Women’s Hospital and Health Centre Purang Abolmaesumi PhD University of British Columbia Robert Rohling PhD University of British Columbia Background: There is increasing interest in ultrasou...

Objective: The aim of this study is to show the ultrasound findings in different fetal brain anomalies and specify those which may raise the suspicion of associated extra cranial anomalies. Patients and Method: 60 pregnant women with suspected CNS fetal anomalies by 2D US were examined over a period of 18 months starting from November 2010 until May 2012. Fetal gestation ranged from 8-39 weeks ...

AIM To prove whether real-time three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound with live xPlane imaging is better in observing fetal movements than standard ultrasound imaging. METHODS 50 healthy women with singleton pregnancies (22-43 years old) at 11 to 14 weeks of gestation underwent real-time 3D ultrasound examination with live xPlane imaging from July 2014 to February 2015. The incidence and frequency...

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) to predict successful embryo development in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. Materials and Methods: We prospectively studied 28 patients undergoing IVF treatment, using 3D ultrasound Sono automatic volume calculation (AVC) and a 3...
