“…These images can be reviewed by a cardiologist to determine significance before referral to a radiologist trained in the evaluation of gallstones and gallbladder pathology. Preliminary studies have shown that 2DU and 3DU have similar sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing common gallbladder pathology 7,8 but to our knowledge, no studies have evaluated Although none of the patients presented with cholecystitis, one patient had gallbladder wall thickening on 2DE and all three on 3DE. In patient 2, Figure 4AB revealed marked thickening of the gallbladder wall after cropping of the 3D data set in the posterior-anterior direction.…”

Does the Routine Echocardiographic Exam Have a Role in the Detection and Evaluation of Cholelithiasis and Gallbladder Wall Thickening?

Cholelithiasis is a very common disease in the United States. Most cases remain asymptomatic but a fraction of these patients can develop serious complications such as cholecystitis which may lead to gallbladder perforation and gallbladder cancer which is much less common. Here, we present three cases of cholelithiasis where transthoracic echocardiography was performed routinely. In each case, echocardiography detected cholelithiasis which prompted three-dimensional (3D) echocardiographic evaluation. Three-dimensional echocardiography allowed for more comprehensive examination of the gallbladder shape, size, and wall thickening and the measurement and composition of the stones in three dimensions, measurement of stone volumes, and minimized shadowing produced by stone calcifications. These cases suggest that routine echocardiography has value in detecting gallstones and that 3D echocardiography has incremental value over two-dimensional echocardiography due to pyramidal data sets which allow sequential slicing through the gallbladder and full gallbladder examination without a technologist who is trained in gallbladder imaging. These pyramidal data sets can be further viewed and cropped by a radiologist specialized in abdominal ultrasound.

“…Although the increased accuracy of the assessment of renal perfusion is known to be increased using CEUS, the clinical relevance of these tiny perfusion defects is currently not known, although it has been suggested that they may be a cause for patients with "stuck" creatinine [12]. The aim of this study, therefore, was to assess the prevalence and size of perfusion defects in renal transplantation patients following surgery using 3D CEUS in an attempt to determine the significance of these perfusion defects on renal function.…”

Contrast enhanced ultrasound increases sensitivity to tiny vascular changes.. The aim was to assess the prevalence and size of vascular abnormalities in renal transplantation patients following surgery using 3D CEUS to determine the significance of perfusion defects on renal function.Methods Ninety nine renal transplant patients underwent 3D CEUS after surgery to quantify perfusion defects as percentage total renal volume (TRV). Serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were recorded up to three months post-surgery.
