introduction and aims: prior investigators have proposed microlithiasis as a causative factor for occult gallbladder diseases. endoscopic ultrasonography (eus) is potentially far more sensitive than transabdominal ultrasonography (tus) in visualizing small stones. the aim of this study was to investigate the role of endoscopic ultrasounography (eus) in the diagnosis of microlithiasis in patient...

In order to localise neuroendocrine tumours of the foregut type (that is, of the stomach, duodenum, and pancreas), 18 patients were studied prospectively by endoscopic ultrasonography, computed tomography, transabdominal ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, and somatostatin receptor scintigraphy. These 18 patients had a total of 25 primary tumour lesions which were verified histological...

This cross sectional study was carried out in the department of Radiology and Imaging, Dhaka Medical College Hospital from July 2008 to June 2010 to compare the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasonography and transabdominal ultrasonography in the diagnosis of clinically suspected cases of ectopic pregnancy. Initially 60 patients with clinical suspicion of ectopic pregnancy were included in this st...

From 1988 to 1992, 78 patients with genuine stress urinary incontinence underwent bladder neck suspension under ultrasonic monitoring. Tightness of suspension was adjusted by setting posterior urethrovesical angle to approximately 90 degree by transrectal ultrasonography during operation. Urinary continence was achieved in 68 of 78 patients. In the remaining 10 patients, slight incontinence rec...

aim : to evaluate the role of  endoscopic ultrasonography (eus) in the diagnosis of gallbladder microlithiasis, sludge, and stone  in patients with clinical suspicion of cholecystitis, but with normal transabdominal ultrasonography (tus) during six months follow-up after laparosopic cholecystectomy (lct). background : endosonography has been shown to be highly sensitive in the detection of chol...

Endoscopic ultrasonography is usually used in the diagnosis of subepithelial tumors but requires special equipment and expertise, which can be obstacles some clinics. Transabdominal an easily available diagnostic tool for diagnosing gastric tumors. Hydroultrasonography depict all five layers stomach wall. On ultrasonography, lipoma recognized as a well demarcated hyperechoic mass mainly located...

In the era of double balloon enteroscopy, capsule endoscopy, CT, and MRI enterography is transabdominal ultrasonography (TUS) underestimated method for evaluation of small bowel pathology. As often initial imagine method in abdominal complaints, nowadays has TUS much better diagnostic potential than two decades ago. High-resolution ultrasound probes with harmonic imaging significantly improve r...
