OBJECTIVES: The current study aims to investigate the value of penile elastography in assessing the fibrotic changes in the corpora cavernosa. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eighty participants were included in the study. These were divided into two equal groups: a study group (group 1) included patients with ED who did not respond to intracavernosal injection (ICI), and an age-matched control group (group 2) included age-matched subjects with normal erection. All subjects answered an International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) questionnaire...

OBJECTIVES: Transcerebellar diameter (TCD) has been utilized prenatally as a tool to estimate gestational age (GA) when fetal growth aberrations are suspected. Traditionally, first trimester ultrasound (1TUS) has been the gold standard of dating a pregnancy in spontaneous pregnancies. We sought to determine if neonatal TCD measurement was as accurate as 1TUS in the estimation of postconceptual gestational age (PCGA). METHODS: A retrospective cohort from a registry of high-quality transmastoid views of consecutive patients from July 2019 to November 2020, delivered from 24 to 34 weeks GA, and with a 1TUS were included...

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the combined use of ultrasonography and clinical features for the differentiation of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) from benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors (BPNST) and to compare the efficacy of ultrasonography with that of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS: This retrospective study included 28 MPNSTs and a control group of 57 BPNSTs. All patients underwent an ultrasound scan using the Logiq E9 (GE Health Care, Milwaukee, WI) or EPIQ7 equipment (Philips Medical System, Bothell, WA)...

REVIEW
Mauro Mendez, Shruthi Sundararaman, Linda Probyn, Pascal N Tyrrell
This scoping review examines the emerging field of synthetic ultrasound generation using machine learning (ML) models in radiology. Nineteen studies were analyzed, revealing three primary methodological strategies: unconditional generation, conditional generation, and domain translation. Synthetic ultrasound is mainly used to augment training datasets and as training material for radiologists. Blind expert assessment and Fréchet Inception Distance are common evaluation methods. Current limitations include the need for large training datasets, manual annotations for controllable generation, and insufficient research on incorporating new domain knowledge...

OBJECTIVE: To compare the cardiac functions of fetuses with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) between their control groups and investigate its relationship with perinatal outcomes. METHODS: This prospective study was conducted with 102 pregnant women. Pregnant women with PPROM were divided into two subgroups Group A, between 26 and 30 weeks, and Group B, between 30 and 34 weeks. A control group was formed by randomly including one healthy pregnant woman for each study patient...

OBJECTIVES: Shear wave elastography (SWE) is increasingly used in breast cancer diagnostics. However, large, prospective, multicenter data evaluating the reliability of SWE is missing. We evaluated the intra- and interobserver reliability of SWE in patients with breast lesions categorized as BIRADS 3 or 4. METHODS: We used data of 1288 women at 12 institutions in 7 countries with breast lesions categorized as BIRADS 3 to 4 who underwent conventional B-mode ultrasound and SWE...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify the sonographic features of pathologically confirmed onychopapilloma cases. METHODS: High-frequency up to 24 MHz and ultra-high frequency-ultrasound up to 71 MHz examinations were performed and correlated with their clinical and pathologic presentations. RESULTS: Twenty-two cases met the criteria. Clinical presentations revealed longitudinal erythronychia in 63.3% of cases. The ultrasound examinations identified a hypoechoic band in the nail bed (86...

OBJECTIVES: Computed tomography is regarded as the reference-standard imaging modality for the assessment of acute left-sided colonic diverticulitis (ALCD). However, its utility may be impaired by cost issues, limited availability, radiation exposure, and contrast-related adverse effects. Ultrasonography is increasingly advocated as an alternative technique for evaluating ALCD, although there is variation regarding its accuracy in disease diagnosis and staging and in determining alternative diagnoses...

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to explore the application value of shear wave elastography in healthy adults with knee meniscus. METHODS: One hundred adult subjects who underwent health checkups at our hospital from December 2022 to February 2023 were selected as research participants. Shear wave elastography was used to evaluate the periphery of the lateral and medial meniscus in both knees. To assess the mean differences in Young's modulus values between male and female groups, a one-way ANOVA and independent samples t-test were conducted...

OBJECTIVES: To explore neurofilament light chain (NfL) levels in leprotic neuropathy compared to controls, and to determine if the changes correlate with ultrasonographic nerve findings. METHODS: Individuals with leprosy with signs or symptoms suggestive of peripheral nerve involvement were recruited. They were evaluated by clinical examination, functional scores, laboratory assessments (including NfL), nerve conduction studies (NCS), and ultrasound. Ultrasound was conducted in bilateral median, ulnar, tibial, fibular, sural, and vagus nerves as well as cervical roots 5 and 6...

OBJECTIVES: As maternal body mass index (BMI) increases, fetal anatomy ultrasound becomes more challenging, less sensitive, and less likely to be complete. We sought to report our experience of incomplete evaluation of anatomy in patients with BMI of 50 kg/m2 or greater. METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort of singleton gestations in mothers with BMI of 50 kg/m2 or greater, undergoing anatomy evaluations between 2017 and 2021 at 9 maternal-fetal-medicine sites in Houston, TX...
