- Quality of ultrasonography reporting and factors associated with selection of imaging modality for uterine fibroids in Canada: results from a prospective cohort registry
BACKGROUND: Uterine fibroids are common in women and their management is heavily influenced by information gathered through imaging. We aimed to […]
- Negative Predictive Value of Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound of Liver and Kidney Thermal Ablation Sites for Local Tumour Progression During Long-term Follow-up: A Retrospective Consecutive Study
CONCLUSION: In this cohort, CEUS showed high NPV for exclusion of LTP at renal TA sites. NPV for hepatic TA sites was high but lower than renal TA.
- Adenomyosis As a Confounder to Accurate Endometrial Cancer Staging
The coexistence of endometrial adenocarcinoma and adenomyosis in the same uterus is a common phenomenon. In many of such affected patients foci of […]
- Associations between quantitative evaluation of bowel wall microvascular flow by contrast-enhanced ultrasound and indices of disease activity in Crohn's disease patients using both bolus and infusion techniques
CONCLUSIONS: CEUS kinetic parameters correlate with clinical and laboratory indices and are significantly higher in patients with active disease. The […]
- 2018 FIGO Staging System for Uterine Cervical Cancer: Enter Cross-sectional Imaging
Imaging plays a central role in the 2018 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics staging system for uterine cervical cancer. The […]
- ACR Appropriateness Criteria® Clinically Suspected Adnexal Mass, No Acute Symptoms
There are approximately 9.1 pelvic surgeries performed for every histologically confirmed adnexal malignancy in the United States, compared to 2.3 […]
- Reproducibility of 2 Liver 2-Dimensional Shear Wave Elastographic Techniques in the Fasting and Postprandial States
CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that the 2D SWE techniques had a high degree of reliability and agreement in measurement of liver stiffness in a […]
- Successful Integration of Contrast-enhanced US into Routine Abdominal Imaging
Contrast material-enhanced US is recognized increasingly as a useful tool in a wide variety of hepatic and nonhepatic applications. The modality […]

- Imaging Approach to the Diagnosis of Acute Appendicitis in a Group of Teaching Hospitals With 24/7 In-house Availability of Ultrasound Technologist: Effect of Timing of Request on Imaging Modality
CONCLUSIONS: US was less utilised in acute appendicitis detection after hours, although its diagnostic sensitivity was better than regular-hours […]
- Negative Predictive Value of Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound in Differentiating Avascular Solid-Appearing From Vascularized Masses: A Retrospective Consecutive Study
CONCLUSIONS: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound has a very high NPV to exclude the presence of flow in a mass, and it can be used to exclude the presence […]
- ACR Appropriateness Criteria® Staging and Follow-Up of Ovarian Cancer
In the management of epithelial ovarian cancers, imaging is used for cancer detection and staging, both before and after initial treatment. The […]
- Utility of shear-wave elastography to differentiate low from advanced degrees of liver fibrosis in patients with hepatitis C virus infection of native and transplant livers
CONCLUSION: Liver stiffness evaluated by SWE can differentiate low from advanced liver fibrosis.
- The prognostic and predictive value of vascular response parameters measured by dynamic contrast-enhanced-CT, -MRI and -US in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma receiving sunitinib
CONCLUSIONS: DCE-MRI, -CT and ultrasound produce complementary parameters that reflect the prognosis of patients receiving sunitinib for mRCC. Blood […]
- Identification of Distant Metastatic Disease in Uterine Cervical and Endometrial Cancers with FDG PET/CT: Analysis from the ACRIN 6671/GOG 0233 Multicenter Trial
Purpose To assess the accuracy of staging positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in detecting distant metastasis in patients […]
- ACR Appropriateness Criteria® Ovarian Cancer Screening
There has been much interest in the identification of a successful ovarian cancer screening test, in particular, one that can detect ovarian cancer […]
