Introduction: Ultrasonography with high frequency linear probe and Color Doppler is very important in evaluation of scrotal pathology in patients with acute scrotal pain. Computed tomographyeexposes testicles to theeradiation and MRI is not so easily available. Thereforefultrasound with color Doppler is the bestdsuited modality for the evaluation of scrotal pathologies in patients with acute scrotal pain asqit is simple, noninvasive, reproducible, relatively inexpensive and widely available investigation that will not exposeqthe testis to radiation. Aims and Objectives: Toqclassify (etiologically) and to evaluate various scrotal pathologies in patients with acute scrotal pain using ultrasonography and describe the role of High resolution ultrasound transducer (7-11 MHz) and colour doppler in their diagnosis and differentiation. Materials and Methods: The study was done on 60 patients over period of One year (2021-2022) who were referred to the radiology department by the General Surgery and department of urology for scrotal ultrasound and Doppler study at Dhiraj Hospital,S.B.K.S medical institute and research centre, Pipariya, Waghodia, Baroda. Results: Ofethe 60 patientsestudied, incidence of various pathologies were as follows -inflammatory pathology in 75%, torsion in 13.3%, trauma in 6.7%, and others in 5%. Imaging features of different pathologies causing acute scrotal pain are described.
Introduction: Accurate gestational age assessment is important in obstetric care ultrasonography. Fetal kidney length is one of the emerging parameter in estimation of fetal gestational age in 3rd trimester. Objectives: Is to the ascertain the precision of ultrasonographic fetal kidney length measurement as a reliable parameter for determination of gestational age in 3rd trimester. Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional observational study was conducted on 152 antenatal women in the 3rd trimester. Gestational age was estimated by early fetal ultrasound measure and last menstrual period. Results: Mean kidney length showed a Pearson’s correlation coefficient of 0.907 and a determination coefficient of 0.822 with GA. The test was significant at P < 0.05. Conclusions: This study confirms that the fetal kidney length measurement for estimating the gestational age accurately in the 3rd trimester.
Aims and Objectives: 1) Objective is to study the range of Congenital neurological anomalies occurring in utero; 2) To evaluate the incidence of congenital anomalies in varying trimesters; 3) To confirm the diagnosis by post natal examination or autopsy as and when possible. Material and Methods: This is a prospective study which was conducted in the Radio-diagnosis department in Dhiraj General hospital, from January 2021 till February 2022. Ultrasound screening of pregnant women was performed. Pregnancy with ultrasound findings of central nervous system anomalies were followed up. Prenatal ultrasound findings were confirmed by post MTP examination in cases of therapeutic abortions and fetal losses. In case of live birth postnatal findings were noted. Results: After conducting a ultrasound screening in all three trimesters, a total of 30 congenital neurological anomalies were diagnosed. It was seen that majority of anomalies were detected in 2nd trimester. Among the neurological anomalies, most common anomalies were found to be hydrocephalus (4), Anencephaly (3) and lumbar myelo-meningocoele (3). Ultrasound findings were matching in 87 % of cases with post natal examination findings. In this study rare congenital neurological syndromes like Meckel Gruber syndrome and iniencephaly like disorders were also detected via ultrasound.
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.
