JOURNAL ARTICLE
Oliver D Kripfgans, Hsun-Liang Chan
Intraoral scanning must meet a stringent infection control standard because of contact with the oral mucosa. A preparation protocol is thus presented for increased inquiries about intraoral scanning requirements. Materials required for such a preparation include: a single-use bubble-free gel packet, a gel standoff pad, and a transducer probe cover. Postscan reprocessing of the ultrasound transducer requires high-level disinfection. Examples for proper and improper use are provided as well as limitations of this preparation protocol and recommendations for future development...

We present a 3-patient case series that support the use of ultrasound guided minimally invasive autopsy (MIA). This technique has a high diagnostic accuracy in specific clinical settings. It makes easier to diagnose pathologies once the patient has died, avoiding body deformation, with a notable reduction in sample processing time compared to the open autopsy study and, therefore, a shorter overall diagnostic response time. MIA shows some similarities with point of care ultrasound (POCUS), like examination protocols or that they can be performed at the bedside...

OBJECTIVES: Ultrasound screening during early pregnancy is vital in preventing congenital disabilities. For example, nuchal translucency (NT) thickening is associated with fetal chromosomal abnormalities, particularly trisomy 21 and fetal heart malformations. Obtaining accurate ultrasound standard planes of a fetal face during early pregnancy is the key to subsequent biometry and disease diagnosis. Therefore, we propose a lightweight target detection network for early pregnancy fetal facial ultrasound standard plane recognition and quality assessment...

REVIEW
Gowthaman Gunabushanam, Risa H Kent, Leslie M Scoutt
Imaging pitfalls commonly occur in carotid Doppler ultrasound and may lead to false positive diagnosis of stenosis, missed diagnosis of stenosis, and errors in grading stenosis severity. These pitfalls may result from suboptimal technique and/or patient-specific factors including coexisting cardiovascular pathology, contralateral high-grade stenosis/occlusion, tortuous vessels, tandem lesions, long-segment stenosis, nearly occlusive stenosis, and heavily calcified plaque. Awareness of these pitfalls and careful assessment of the extent of plaque on grayscale and color Doppler as well as analysis of the spectral Doppler waveforms can help avoid misinterpretation of the carotid Doppler examination...

Isolated fallopian tube torsion (IFTT) is a rare subset of adnexal torsion. Timely diagnosis of IFTT is essential for preservation of the fallopian tube. However, a pre-operative diagnosis is challenging due to nonspecific symptoms and findings on physical exam. In addition, ultrasound (US) is typically the initial imaging modality in this setting and adnexal torsion may not be considered when normal ovaries are seen. In this small case series, we introduce the "double ovary" sign, a unique observation on US characterized by two adjacent structures: the ovary and the twisted fallopian tube giving rise to an ovary-like, cystic structure...
