“…Das Einsatzgebiet umfasst sowohl die akute Verletzungsdiagnostik, die Kontrolle und Trainingssteuerung bei Überlastungsschmerzen, der Einsatz im Rahmen von US-gezielten Infiltrationen. Eine interessante Option und mögliche Zukunftsanwendung bieten hierbei Remote-Geräte, die eine telemedizinische Befundung oder zusätzliche Meinung durch einen Spezialisten entweder zeitgleich oder im Zeitversatz nach Übermittlung der Bilder erlauben (Tele-Sonografie) 32 .…”

Background Ultrasound (US) has numerous applications in sports traumatology. The technical progress of mobile US devices has led to increasing use of ultrasound as a primary diagnostic tool. New applications such as elastography and 3 D vascularization are used for special indications. Method The purpose of this review is to present the current status of ultrasound in the diagnosis of sports injuries and sport traumatology including established applications and new technical advances. US is presented both in its comparison to other imaging modalities and as a sole diagnostic tool. Results and Conclusion US can be used for initial diagnosis to improve the clinical examination and for intensive short-term follow-up imaging. The main areas of application are currently the diagnosis of acute muscle and tendon injuries as well as overuse injuries. In particular, the exclusion of structural muscle injuries can be adequately ensured with US in the majority of anatomical regions. The recently published guideline on fracture ultrasound has strengthened the clinical evidence in this area, especially in comparison to conventional radiography and in the development of algorithms and standards. The increasing use of mobile ultrasound equipment with adequate image quality makes US a location-independent modality that can also be used at training sites or during road games.

“…These techniques are helpful in the detection of complex liver masses (Corvino et al, 2019). There is considerable evidence that any physiological or pathological process affects tissue elasticity more than any other parameter (Constantinescu and Saftoiu, 2019). Shear wave elastography (SWE) provides quantitative tissue stiffness analysis by estimating the shear wave's speed (Nakayama et al, 2021).…”

This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) in diagnosing hepatic focal lesions using triphasic CT as the gold standard. The study was conducted prospectively at the Department of Radiology, Nishtar Medical Hospital, from January 2022 to January 2023. Patients with at least one hepatic focal lesion ranging from 1 to 5 cm in diameter were included in the study. All patients underwent SWE scanning and ultrasound examination. The segment of focal lesions was evaluated, and 5-8 measurements were taken for quantitative analysis of stiffness. In patients with multiple focal lesions, the pathology of all lesions was confirmed by MRI and CT, and the most accessible lesion was analyzed. The mean of all measurements was compared with the findings of triphasic CT and tumor markers to estimate SWE's accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity. The study was conducted on 100 patients, of which 85 were males and 17 were females. The mean stiffness in benign lesions was 10.4 ± 6.32 kPa, and in malignant lesions was 16.3 ± 9.24 kPa. This difference was statistically significant (P<.002). A cutoff value 13.25 was used to differentiate between malignant and benign lesions. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of SWE were 78.05%, 71.43%, 88.9%, 52.3%, and 64.3%, respectively. The mean tissue stiffness in focal fatty infiltration was 12.7 ± 8.9 kPa, and in hemangioma lesions was 9.6 ± 4.3 kPa. The mean stiffness in HCC was 15.5 ± 7.1 kPa, in cholangiocarcinoma was 32.6 ± 8.26 kPa, and in metastatic lesions was 22.2 ± 0.5 kPa. In conclusion, SWE has a high sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for differentiating malignant and benign hepatic focal lesions. The study shows that the stiffness of benign and malignant lesions differs significantly.
