Please note: This document radiation doses over time [5,6 ], especially in this age group, it is important to avoid radiological diagnostics as much as possible. Ultrasound (also called sonography) as a diagnostic imaging test for the detection or exclusion of fractures (“fracture ultrasound”) has gained increasing interest over the last 25 years due to technical developments and increasing accuracy [7]. A recent German survey

Transcranial Doppler sonography follow-up study in mild vascular cognitive impairment. To date, few data to transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD) are available in patients with mild vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) at risk for vascular or mixed dementia. In a previous study in patients with mild VCI and cerebral small vessels disease, a hemodynamic pattern of cerebral hypoperfusion

Diagnostic value of multimodal hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography combined with negative intrauterine contrast-enhanced ultrasound in female infertility. To investigate the application value of multimodal hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (HyCoSy) combined with negative hysterography in assessing tubal patency and diagnosing uterine lesions. A total of 310 infertility patients were selected
Cerebral blood flow autoregulation assessment by correlation analysis between mean arterial blood pressure and transcranial doppler sonography or near infrared spectroscopy is different: A pilot study. Recently, cerebral autoregulation indices based on moving correlation indices between mean arterial pressure (MAP) and cerebral oximetry (NIRS, ORx) or transcranial Doppler (TCD)-derived middle
Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (atDCS) and functional transcranial Doppler sonography (fTCD) in healthy elderly and patients with MCI: modulation of age-related changes in word fluency and language lateralization. In addition to age-related changes in language, hemispheric lateralization of language functions steadily declines with age. Also, performance on word fluency tasks was determined using a lateralization index (LI) measured with functional transcranial Doppler sonography (fTCD) before and after the stimulation period. Anodal tDCS was associated with significantly higher scores in phonological but not semantic word fluency in both YG and OG. In MCI patients, no difference was measured between the tDCS and sham groups in either word fluency task. fTCD showed significantly
Hysterosalpingo-foam sonography versus hysterosalpingography during fertility work-up: an economic evaluation alongside a randomized controlled trial. What are the costs and effects of tubal patency testing by hysterosalpingo-foam sonography (HyFoSy) compared to hysterosalpingography (HSG) in infertile women during the fertility work-up? During the fertility work-up, clinical management based
Evaluation of the role of repeated inferior vena cava sonography in estimating first 24 h fluid requirement in resuscitation of major blunt trauma patients in emergency department Suez Canal University Hospital. The assessment of hemodynamic status in polytrauma patients is an important principle of the primary survey of trauma patients, and screening for ongoing hemorrhage and assessing
Identifying idiopathic intracranial hypertension in a hospital-based chronic headache population: Utility of magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance venography and trans-orbital sonography. One of the most underestimated types of chronic headaches is headaches as a result of cerebro-spinal fluid dysregulation disorders. Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) presents with headache interview, fundus examination, MRI brain with magnetic resonance venography (MRV) and trans-orbital sonography (TOS)). Patients with abnormal findings underwent lumbar puncture for opening pressure. The prevalence of IIH was 27%. IIH patients were of higher age, had gnawing/throbbing headache in the vertex in most cases, and had higher body mass index. Fundus examination had a sensitivity of 79
The effect of prior hysterosalpingo-foam sonography or hysterosalpingography on tubal patency: a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial. Does hysterosalpingo-foam sonography (HyFoSy) prior to hysterosalpingography (HSG) or HSG prior to HyFoSy affect visible tubal patency when compared HSG or HyFoSy alone? Undergoing either HyFoSy or HSG prior to tubal patency testing
Tubal flushing with oil-based contrast during hysterosalpingography versus tubal flushing by hysterosalpingo-foam sonography in infertile women undergoing fertility work-up: study protocol of a randomised controlled trial (FOil study).

David Against Goliath: Direct Comparison of Handheld Bowel Sonography and Magnetic Resonance Enterography for Diagnosis of Crohn's Disease. Diagnosis of Crohn's disease (CD) requires ileo-colonoscopy (IC) and cross-sectional evaluation. Recently, "echoscopy" has been used effectively in several settings, although data about its use for CD diagnosis are still limited. Our aim was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of handheld bowel sonography (HHBS) in comparison with magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) for CD diagnosis. From September 2019 to June 2021, we prospectively recruited consecutive subjects attending our third level IBD Unit for suspected CD. Patients underwent IC, HHBS, and MRE in random order with operators blinded about the result of the other procedures. Bivariate correlation
Transcranial sonography with clinical and demographic characteristics to predict cognitive impairment in PD: a longitudinal study. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease and is clinically characterized by a series of motor symptoms (MS) and nonmotor symptoms (NMS). NMS often appear before MS, while cognitive impairment mostly occurs within a few years after the diagnosis of PD . Therefore, we aimed to predict the risk factors for cognitive impairment (CI) in PD patients based on transcranial sonography, clinical symptoms, and demographic characteristics. Based on the occurrence time of CI, a total of 172 PD patients were divided into non-CI (N-CI, n = 48), CI at the first treatment (F-CI, n = 58), and CI at the last treatment (L-CI, n = 66) groups. Clinical data (including MS
