“…Focus is positioned just deep to the area of interest. Any suspected lesion, firmness, or tenderness was examined by moving the probe over and around the lesion [14][15][16]. Dynamic ultrasonography examination executed by changing the degree of knee flexion as well as by medial and lateral movements of the patella was also done.…”

Background Anterior knee pain (AKP) is a problematic complaint, considered to be the most frequent cause of orthopedic consultancy for knee problems. This study aimed to highlight diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography as a fast imaging technique in assessment of patients with AKP. Methods and results A prospective study was conducted on 143 patients with clinically confirmed AKP. All patients underwent ultrasonography and MRI examinations of the knee. The diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography compared to MRI for evaluating different findings of possible causes of AKP were analyzed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and judged by area under curve (AUC). A total of 155 knees were included in the study; 26 knees showed no abnormalities, 19 knees showed positive MRI only, and 110 knees showed positive ultrasonography and MRI. Ultrasonography and MRI reported 11 different findings of possible causes of AKP or related to it. Joint effusion was the most common finding (38%) followed by trochlear cartilage defect (20.6%) and superficial infrapatellar subcutaneous edema (20%). The overall accuracy of ultrasonography was 85.3% sensitivity and 100% specificity. The ultrasonography provided the highest sensitivity (100%) in detecting bipartite patella, followed by 91.5% for joint effusion, and 87.5% for quadriceps tendinopathy. The ROC curve analysis of overall accuracy of ultrasonography showed an AUC of 0.93. The overall Kappa agreement between ultrasonography and MRI was good (k = 0.66). Conclusion Ultrasonography can be used to make a swift screening and assessment of painful anterior knee and as an alternative to MRI when it is unavailable or contraindicated.

“…Recti muscle diastasis is usually identified clinical ly, or even by patient autoevaluation. However, clinical assessment can be difficult when the subcutaneous layer is particularly thick [8,9]. Additionally, an accurate and objective measurement of the separation is mandatory to plan the appropriate management.…”

Purpose:The aim of our study was to categorise the anatomical variations of rectus abdominis muscle diastasis (dia stasis recti) by using ultrasound (US). Material and methods:In a oneyear period 92 women were evaluated with US because of suspected diastasis of rectus muscles. Patients were examined in a supine position, with head extended, upper limbs aligned to the trunk, and knees flexed. US was performed with highfrequency, broadband transducers. Trapezoid fieldofview and extend ed fieldofview were employed to measure diastasis exceeding 5 cm. Diastasis was defined as a margintomargin distance > 20 mm at rest and classified according to the following anatomical patterns: open only above the navel, open only below the navel, open at the navel level, open completely but wider above the navel, and open completely but wider below the navel. Results: Diastasis was found in 82 patients (3061 years old, mean age 35 years). The width was 2197 mm, mean 39 mm. The prevalence and severity of the anatomical patterns was as follows: open only above the navel in 48 pa tients (2188 mm, mean 40 mm), open only below the navel in one patient (33 mm), open at the navel level in seven patients (2339 mm, mean 34 mm), open completely but wider above the navel in 24 patients (2197 mm, mean 41 mm), open completely but wider below the navel in two patients (2129 mm, mean 25 mm). Conclusions:The abovenavel patterns of recti muscle diastasis are the most common. Even when open completely, diastasis is usually wider above the navel. Knowledge of the anatomical type of rectus muscle diastasis could be of value to the patient (exercises to do and to avoid) and to the surgeon (abdominoplasty planning).

“…As an angiography, CDFI is a perfect tool for the diagnosis of small subungual glomus tumor especially for the fuzzy and isoechoic lesions. Intranodular vascularization has considerable value in differential diagnosis 6,7,17 . CDFI with 18 MHz US can support and improve upon the clinical diagnosis in subungual glomus tumor.…”

To evaluate the imaging features of subungual glomus tumors using 18 MHz high-frequency ultrasound with CDFI (Color Doppler Flow Imaging). 20 patients treated by surgical resection and examined by ultrasound between January 2008 and December 2019. All eligible cases are divided into two groups: Group A used the probe frequency of 9–14 MHz from January 2008 to December 2014, and Group B used the probe frequency of 18 MHz from January 2015 to December 2019. Patient demographics, clinical records, pathologic specimens and sonography features were reviewed. 50% of tumors in Group A and 100% of tumors in Group B showed clear boundary and regular shape. Blood flow signals were identified inside 50% tumors in Group A (3 in 6), all 14 cases with blood flow signals detected in Group B (14 in 14,100%). 2 cases were misdiagnosed and 1 case escaped diagnosis in Group A, no case was misdiagnosed in Group B. The accuracy of diagnosis rate of Group B is significantly higher than that of Group A. 18-MHz ultrasound combined with CDFI may be a practical useful tool for detecting subungual glomus tumors. More importantly 18-MHz ultrasound can obviously improve the diagnostic accuracy.
