OBJECTIVE To study the role of perineal sonography in the diagnosis of an ectopic ureteric opening into the urethra. METHODS In this study, carried out over about 4 years, perineal sonography was done to look for a ureter opening ectopically into the urethra in patients for whom abdominal sonography showed the ureter descending below and beyond the urinary bladder. RESULTS Perineal sonograp...

Our purpose was to compare the ultrasound visualization of the early first-trimester embryo using transvaginal and intrauterine sonography. In all, 32 women about to undergo therapeutic abortion at 6-8.9 weeks gestation were studied using a specially developed catheter-based, high-resolution, real-time miniature (2.4 mm outer diameter) ultrasonography transducer (20 MHz). Before the intrauterin...

BACKGROUND Accidental ingestion of foreign bodies is common in clinical practice. While perforation of the ileum and jejunum due to the ingested foreign body is common, duodenal perforation is rare. In this report, our experience with this rare entity is shared. CASE REPORT Here we present a 31-year-old patient with gastrointestinal tract perforation at the second part of the duodenum due to ...

Bakground Adrenal glands hemangiomas are rare, benign and non-functional tumors. They are often discovered as incidentalomas either during imaging or autopsies. Nearly 70 cases were reported in the literature. Case report We report a case of a non-functional adrenal hemangioma (AH) that was incidentally found on abdominal ultra sonography (US) during the routine control of diabetes of a 58 ye...

The Gabor filter aided diagnosis system for 3-dimensional ultra-sonography (3DUS) under the WLAN environment is introduced. Due to the important relationship between breast tumour surface features and internal architecture, we applied our system using 3D inter-pixel correlations instead of 2D features. Gabor filters provide a multi-resolution representation of texture, which increases ultrasoun...

A 2800 gram baby boy was born with a prenatal diagnosis of a choledochal cyst; he was admitted to NICU for further evaluation. Clinically he was jaundiced with a palpable abdominal mass in the right hypochondrium. Choledochal and duplication cysts were differential diagnoses. Ultra-sonography by an experienced sonographer or a CT scan is usually sufficient for diagnosis. Communicating duplicati...

Torsion and/or infarction of the greater omentum are rare but well-recognized clinical situations which present as an acute abdomen. The etiology is unknown and speculative. In most cases, the pathology is right sided and clinical presentation consists of an acute or subacute flank pain with mild peritonism usually evoking appendicitis or cholecystitis. Nevertheless, knowledge concerning these ...

purpose : to evaluate the accuracy of ocular sonography in measurement of size of intraocular foreign bodies (iofb) methods : in a case series study, 58 consecutive patients with intraocular foreign body were included. ocular sonography was performed to detect intraocular foreign body and the results were compared with the same intraoperative findings. results : metallic material was found to b...
