• SWE might be helpful for the characterization of solid focal liver lesions • SWE cannot differentiate benign from malignant liver lesions • FNHs are significantly stiffer than other benign lesions • Telangiectatic/inflammatory HCA are significantly stiffer than steatotic ones.
In patients with large unilobar HCC, TACE-PVE leads to resection in most patients, with a good oncological outcome regardless of the tumor burden. When this strategy fails, patients can be managed with TACE despite prior PVE.
KEYWORDSBicipitoradial bursa; Distal tendon of the biceps brachii; Ultrasonography.Abstract Serous bursae consist of a synovial membrane enveloping a film of liquid. They are located at interfaces between moving structures where friction must be reduced. The bicipitoradial bursa lies between the distal tendon of the biceps brachii, which it surrounds, and the radial tuberosity. It is a relatively large bursa, with dimensions ranging from 2.4 to 3.9 cm. It sometimes presents septation. It does not communicate with the joint cavity, but it may communicate with the interosseous bursa of the elbow. Regardless of its cause, bicipitoradial bursitis presents as a mass in the cubital fossa and/or with neurological symptoms (sensorial and/or motorial) caused by compression of the radial nerve. On ultrasonography, the inflamed bursa is visualized as an anechoic formation surrounding the distal biceps tendon. In addition to its role in diagnosing the bursitis, sonography can provide information about radial nerve injury (in the presence of macroscopic damage), and it can also be used for guidance during intrabursal injections.Sommario Le borse sierose sono costituite da membrana sinoviale che circonda un film liquido; sono localizzate dove è necessario ridurre la frizione tra strutture in movimento.La borsa bicipito-radiale è posta tra il tendine distale del bicipite, che avvolge, ed il tubercolo radiale. È una borsa discretamente voluminosa, che può raggiungere dimensioni tra 2,4 e 3,9 cm.Può essere settata, non comunica con la cavità articolare, può comunicare con la borsa interossea.Indipendentemente dall'eziologia, la borsite si presenta come massa a livello della fossa cubitale, o con sintomi sensitivi e/o motori legati alla compressione del nervo radiale, o in entrambi i modi.Ecograficamente si presenta come formazione anecogena, che circonda il tendine distale del bicipite. Oltre alla diagnosi di borsite, l'ecografia consente di valutare la sofferenza del nervo radiale, quando sono presenti danni macroscopici, e infiltrazioni guidate della borsa. ª
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
