Acute Cholecystitis: Diagnostic Performance of an Algorithm based on Clinical and Ultrasound Assessment

Objectives are;
Identify normal gastrointestinal tract anatomy on ultrasound;
Describe intussusception;
Describe ultrasound techniques and protocols for diagnosis of intussusception;
Recognise when it is and isn't intussusception;
Case studies from the CHW

Paediatric Renal Ultrasound - Congenital Abnormalities of the Kidney and Urinary Tract (CAKUT) and Urinary Tract Dilation

Paediatric Renal Ultrasound - Congenital Abnormalities of the Kidney and Urinary Tract (CAKUT) and Urinary Tract Dilation

Liver steatosis is a major health problem since 20-30% of the population is affected with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
NAFLD comprises a wide range of liver injury, from simple steatosis to steatohepatitis, progressive fibrosis and eventually cirrhosis with its complications.
Live...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most leading causes of cancer death worldwide. Guidelines support the use of imaging to establish the noninvasive diagnosis of HCC without confirmatory biopsy if imaging is definitive. Therefore, accurate imaging is vital in HCC patient management. The...

Although examination of the spleen is routinely included in the general abdominal gray-scale ultrasound (US) study, it was considered of limited use in the past and was performed almost only to distinguish between cystic and solid lesions. In the last two decades due to accumulated experience and...

Doppler ultrasound remains the primary modality for the evaluation for TIPS shunt evaluation. Competency in interpreting these examinations requires an understanding of the TIPS ëplumbingí and expected flow patterns, the availability of prior examination records if available, and a knowledge of e...

Globally, there is an increasing incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a potential cause of chronic liver disease. NAFLD may result in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) which can develop into end stage liver disease. Because of the increasing incidence of fatty liver disease ...

Spleen stiffness (SS) might reflect portal pressure better than liver stiffness (LS). In fact, the severity of portal hypertension (PH) depends also on the increase in porto-systemic flow that cannot be measured by LS. PH leads to spleen congestion that increases the stiffness of the organ; moreo...

Background: Ultrasound of the gallbladder is an excellent imaging modality in the assessment of gallbladder disease. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is well established in the diagnosis of focal liver lesions, but its application is not as well recognised in gallbladder and biliary disease.

Ultrasound elastography is a useful non-invasive tool for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis in adults (1). It plays a similar role in children, with some differences in the confounding factors and in the etiological spectrum of the liver disease; however, guidelines and recommendations have not bee...

Comparing antenatal renal tract dilatation guidelines to the new UTD guidelines - What's new? What's different?

The use of CEUS has expanded the field of interventional ultrasound and established new possibilities in patient management and diagnostic capabilities.
CEUS is a powerful diagnostic tool due to excellent time resolution and the possibility to keep a suspected lesion in the scanning plane throug...

KUB ultrasound is the bread and butter scan of the paediatric ultrasound department. Accurate and consistent measurements of hydronephrosis are important for treatment and interval surveillance of these patients. At present there is a mismatch between the measurements considered normal in the ant...
