A recent contrast-free super-resolution ultrasound imaging technique using erythrocytes (SURE) has been introduced. SURE can create quantitative images of the microvasculature without contrast agents ...

Abstract Objective: To propose an algorithm to determine the necessity for ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration (US-FNA) in preoperative axillary lymph node staging of patients with invasive ...

In patients with small intestinal Crohn’s disease (CD), there is a need for a simple, non-invasive test to reduce dependence on invasive procedures (eg, enteroscopy) and costly imaging (eg, MRI or CT ...

Such delaying factors have been cited as being responsible for the observed tendency toward more advanced disease at time of diagnosis (larger tumors, a higher percentage with positive axillary ...

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the relation of anatomopathological features and axillary involvement in cases of invasive ductal carcinoma. Methods: this is a cross-sectional study of 220 breast ...

A hand-held force-controlled ultrasound probe has been developed for medical imaging applications. The probe–patient contact force can be held constant to improve image stability, swept through a ...
