Pleural emission can result from various conditions, for example, congestive cardiovascular breakdown, pneumonia, malignant growth, liver cirrhosis, and kidney illness. The attributes of the liquid rely upon the fundamental pathophysiologic system. The liquid can be transudate, nonpurulent exudate, discharge, blood, or chyle. Imaging examines are important in recognizing and overseeing pleural emissions yet not in precisely portraying the biochemical idea of the liquid. Ultrasound is more delicate than actual test and chest radiography to distinguish and describe pleural liquid, and dodges many negative parts of electronic tomography (CT). Ultrasound can be utilized to survey pleural liquid volume and character, uncovering conceivable fundamental pathologies and controlling administration.. Objective. To survey the utilization of ultrasound for the location of pleural emissions and direction of the thoracentesis technique. Pleural goal portrays a technique whereby pleural liquid or air might be suctioned by means of a framework embedded briefly into the pleural space. This might be for demonstrative purposes (normally eliminating 20-50 ml liquid) or restorative to soothe manifestations. In the writing it is varyingly called thoracocentesis, thoracentesis or pleural yearning.

Background: Important discovered of incidental thyroid nodules by different imaging like CT or MRI and examination of the nodules by ultrasound to differentiate between the benign and malignant thyroid nodules and assess the vascularity of the nodules by color Doppler. Aim of work: The study was done to evaluate the role of US examination and color Doppler in assessment of incidental thyroid nodules Patient and methods: We evaluated 50 patients (by ultrasound and color Doppler) with 36 benign thyroid tumors,14 malignant thyroid tumors. The ultrasound and color Doppler diagnosis was confirmed by histological examination. Results: In this study the US diagnosis was correlated with the final diagnosis based on histological examination in 92% of cases, 14 cases 28% were malignant and 32 cases 64% were benign. Conclusion: US is a valuable tool in assessment of incidentally detected thyroid nodules in others imaging features as it can show specific morphologic pattern in differentiating benign form malignant nodules. Ultrasonography can shorten the diagnosis time and reduce the burden on physicians. US diagnosis was correlated with the final diagnosis based on histological examination in most cases.

Background: Diaphragm dysfunction (DD) is frequently seen in critically ill patients, and ultrasound could be a useful tool to detect it and to predict extubation success or failure in mechanically ventilated patients. Besides, it would also be useful in differential diagnosis of dyspnea and respiratory failure. Aim of work :The aim of work is to evaluate usefulness and accuracy of ultrasound in assessment of DD in intensive care unit (ICU) patients in comparison with clinical outcome of patients.. In this prospective study, we compared the performance of ultrasound in visualization of diaphragm, detection of paradoxical movement, measurement of tidal and maximal thickness, and excursion, and calculation of thickening fraction (TF) of the diaphragm in quiet breathing. Patients and Method: The present study was performed on50 patients (26 males and 24 females) admitted in RICU in Benha university hospital The field study was conducted from March 2019 to September 2019. Ultrasound of the Rt, hemidiaphragm was done on the day of admission or soon after admission (1-2) days. Results: there was no statistical significant difference between the studied groups regarding ultrasound measurement (DTF, DE and DT) and patient outcome with p value (0.273,0.245 and 0.497)respectively .Conclusion: ultrasound of diaphragm in ICU patients may be a reliable, noninvasive and convenient way to assess the DD in ICU patients to predict their outcome.

Breast cancer screening and assessment of symptomatic and newly diagnosed breast cancer patients often encounter axillary adenopathy in diagnostic radiology practise. Axillary adenopathy may be caused by a wide range of disorders. Doctors who are familiar with normal and aberrant nodal morphology and the many causes of adenopathy are more equipped to make an appropriate diagnosis. US is the primary imaging modality for assessing axillary lymph nodes on mammograms, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging. All breast associated axillary masses were studied for their Sonographic and Color Doppler features. Methods: Patients with clinically suspected axillary edoema were enrolled in this investigation, which was conducted in a prospective manner. There was a medical history form completed for each of the participants in this research (Detailed history of the complaint -Results of the clinical examination-Any previous radiological or laboratory examination). The axilla and breast are examined using clinical, ultrasound, and colour Doppler techniques. Further imaging will correlate the results of the ultrasound. Both (Clinical examinations) were used to get the final diagnosis. -MRI. After a biopsy, there is a follow up. Results: Malignant lesions accounted for 35.9% of all related breast lesions, followed by fibroadenosis (25%), and fibrodenoma (9.4%). The most prevalent breast mass was a simple cyst in 3.1 percent of cases, followed by abcess, mastitis, fibrocystic disease, and an accessory breast. Age, marital status, pregnancy and breastfeeding, as well as HTN,DM,SLE, cardiac illness, and bronchial asthma, did not have a significant connection with axillary lesion identified by US, while, HTN,DM,SLE, cardiac disease, and bronchial asthma did. There was a substantial difference in the onset, course, and duration of illness between axillary lesions diagnosed by US. Diagnosis by ultrasound revealed considerable differences in the symptoms of axillary tumours in terms of pain, redness, and heat. US diagnosis of axillary lesions was not significantly different from trauma or discharge. Differences in the location, size, and shape of axillary lesions were found when axillary lesions were analysed by US. While a non-specific lymph node is more likely to be oval or rounded, a suspicious lymph node is more likely to be globular. A considerable discrepancy in the axillary lesions' vascularity and cortical thickness was found between those diagnosed by ultrasound and those by conventional imaging methods based on radiological parameters such as hilum, consistency, and echo pattern. Normal echopattern, solid firmness, normal surrounding parynchyma, and normal cortical thickness were seen in the nonspecific lymph node. Lt and both breasts were found to have soft consistency, form, (smooth, speculated, regular uneven) margins, and substantial ascocation with axillary lesion diagnosis in terms of clinical characteristics. Axillary breast lesions were not related with fibbroglandular lesions in terms of radiologic...

Background: Imaging characteristics of meningiomas have been discussed previously in many studies; however complete imaging features involving general features, MRS-DWI of both typical and atypical meningiomas have been discussed in very few studies. This study was done to evaluate the role of imaging modalities feature in correlation with histopathological finding. Patients and Methods:
