“…These studies suggest that SAT elastogram can display the lesion areas that cannot be displayed in two-dimensional ultrasound, which is of positive significance for accurately evaluating the lesion scope of SAT and finding potential lesions. This study shows that two-dimensional ultrasound was combined with ultrasound elastography [ 7 ]. Hua, Wang, and Zhang studied the clinical characteristics of 852 SAT patients before treatment and found that most of the laboratory test results were related to thyrotoxicosis and inflammation and liver dysfunction, and the abnormal peak level often appeared one week after the onset.…”

Diagnostic Value of Color Doppler Ultrasonography in Subacute Thyroiditis

In order to explore the clinical effect of color Doppler ultrasonography in the diagnosis of subacute thyroiditis, a method for the diagnosis of subacute thyroiditis by color Doppler ultrasonography was proposed. From November 2019 to November 2020, 90 patients with subacute thyroiditis in our hospital were selected as the experimental group; 90 healthy people were selected as the control group during the same period. Both groups were diagnosed by color Doppler ultrasonography and compared. The experimental results showed that patients with subacute thyroiditis showed mild to moderate enlargement of the involved thyroid gland, and local or diffuse inhomogeneous hypoechoic areas may appear in bilateral or unilateral thyroid glands: irregular edges, unclear boundaries, no "ball feel," mottled changes, and accompanied by tenderness. The blood flow signal around the hypoechoic area is rich, and the internal blood flow signal is less. There was no significant increase in the blood flow velocity of the superior thyroid artery on the affected side. Color Doppler ultrasound not only is simple, economical, and non-invasive but also has a good diagnostic accuracy for subacute thyroiditis, which can provide an important basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment and is worthy of popularization and application.

“…In newborns, the lower need for a high penetration power, can allow the study of deep structures, such as bowel, abdominal masses, arteries, and abdominal veins that can be evaluated with greater accuracy thanks to the high spatial resolution. 54 UHFUS should be chosen to evaluate extremity nerves and to evaluate their distal branches. It can allow to evaluate size of the nerve and the loss of the normal appearance.…”

“…Because of its relatively low cost, lack of ionizing radiation, and great versatility, US is considered the imaging modality of choice to evaluate a large variety of pediatric conditions. In newborns, the lower need for a high penetration power, can allow the study of deep structures, such as bowel, abdominal masses, arteries, and abdominal veins that can be evaluated with greater accuracy thanks to the high spatial resolution 54 …”

The ultra‐high frequency ultrasound (UHFUS) is characterized by the use of probes between 30 and 100 MHz. This technology has recently been introduced in clinical practice and represents an opportunity for the diagnosis of numerous pathologies. The high spatial resolution of UHFUS, up to 30 μ in pixel size, allows to study the pathological modifications and to guide microsurgery treatments in anatomical body structures not evaluable by conventional HFUS. The aim of this work is to provide a review of the literature on the current clinical applications of UHFUS and to discuss its added role in different clinical settings.

“… 31 32 Similarly to all imaging evaluations, PedMSUS is highly dependent on the operator expertise, which in this case is mainly due to the implicit real-time nature of the image acquisition and immediate interpretation of findings. 33–36 Therefore, accurate knowledge and high-level training are mandatory for a correct scanning and accurate and reliable image interpretation. The present project provides shared procedures for guiding the organisation of PedMSUS courses at different levels of competency, through the involvement of an international panel of partners in the project Taskforce and the extension to an even wider community in the Consensus group.…”

BackgroundDespite the worldwide increasing request of education on paediatric musculoskeletal ultrasound (PedMSUS), content, conduct and format of PedMSUS courses have never been internationally agreed.ObjectivesTo produce educational procedures for the conduct, content and format of EULAR/PReS PedMSUS courses.MethodsAfter a systemic literature review and expert opinion collection, a panel of items for the development of procedures on PedMSUS courses was identified. Agreement on the items was assessed through Delphi surveys among a taskforce of 24 members, which included 18 experts in PedMSUS (8 rheumatologists, 1 radiologist, 9 paediatric rheumatologists), 1 methodologist and rheumatologist expert in MSUS, 2 patient research partners, 1 health professional in rheumatology and 2 EMEUNET/EMERGE members, from 8 different European countries. Each item was assessed through a 5-point Likert scale (0, full disagreement; 5, full agreement); agreement was reached for >75% of answers rating 4–5. All items with agreement were included in the preliminary core set of educational procedures, which underwent external assessment by a broader Consensus group (Faculty and Tutors of previous EULAR PedMSUS courses and PReS Imaging Working Party members), through Delphi survey.ResultsTwo Delphi surveys produced the preliminary core set of procedures for basic, intermediate, advanced and teach-the-teachers (TTT) PedMSUS courses. A Delphi survey within the Consensus group produced agreement on the proposed procedures.ConclusionsShared EULAR/PReS procedures for the conduct, content and format of basic, intermediate, advanced and TTT PedMSUS courses were identified on international basis.
