“…Momzudar et al discovered that obesity was the most prevalent maternal comorbidity and that maternal comorbidities as a whole were demonstrated to be a significant independent predictor of diagnostic discrepancy. Therefore, it is suggested that these patients should undergo repeat ultrasound exams, with more experienced sonographers and undergo a longer examination time when imaging is not ideal [27].…”

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a structural abnormality in the heart or major intrathoracic blood vessels that has been present since birth. The antenatal detection of congenital cardiac disease has been greatly enhanced by the advent of fetal echocardiography as a crucial component of prenatal ultrasound evaluation. Nevertheless, antenatal CHD diagnosis rates are still lower than those for the majority of other significant structural defects. Aim : Assess the effectiveness of fetal in comparison to neonatal echocardiography. This study is conductedin accordance to the PRISMA statement. Studies were identified from several open-access electronic databases (PubMed Central, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar). Risk of bias of each study was evaluated using Cochrane Risk of Bias In Non-randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) tool. Data were descriptively examined and narratively reported. Twelve studies were included in the review. All included studies were considered low-risk. From 12 studies that were included in our study, all recommend fetal echocardiography for prenatal assessment. Lowest reported sensitivity was 64.5%, highest value was 100%. Lowest repoted specificity was 88.9%, highest value was 99.96%. Diagnostic accuracy was reported in 4 studies, with a value of 93 – 99.82% Factors that might be associated with the accuracy of fetal echocardiography are high anatomic complexity, maternal comorbidities, and fellow as initial imager. Fetal echocardiography was found to have a high specificity but limited sensitivity. Low sensitivity suggests that fetal echocardiography results could be inaccurate whereas high specificity means that a negative echocardiography result is often sufficient to predict the absence of CHD. There are some factors that may affect the accuracy of fetal echocardiography, mostly resulting from fetal or maternal factors, such as high complexity of the anomaly, fetal position, late gestation, maternal obesity, and less-esperienced sonographer.

“…In fact, a contrast study is necessary to confirm the location of the leakage and to plan surgical therapy [ 12 ]. Nevertheless, an intravenous contrast agent is a nephrotoxic risk factor in patients whose renal function is already compromised [ 13 , 14 ]. In this study, the cat was presented in a shock condition (hypothermia, dehydration, prolonged capillary refill time, severe azotemia), rendering contrast radiography and excretory urography contraindicated [ 15 ].…”

Urinoma is an encapsulated collection of urine due to a disruption in the collection system of the urinary tract. This condition is rarely reported in veterinary medicine. The aim of this study is to describe the clinical and diagnostic findings of a well-encapsulated paraureteral urinoma associated with urinary tract stones in a critical feline patient. The ultrasound examination of the abdomen revealed a well-defined collection of anechoic fluid containing the left kidney in the retroperitoneal space, while the radiographic examination revealed a loss of soft tissue contrast in the lumbar region. Both techniques confirmed the presence of stones in the bladder. Following the ultrasound-guided drainage of the lesion, the nature of the fluid was also confirmed to be urine. Due to the worsening of the cat’s health, to better define the extent and genesis of the lesion, a positive contrast radiographic study was performed by means of an ultrasound-guided percutaneous injection of a contrast medium into the lesion, which highlighted a wide and homogeneous radiopaque area in the left retroperitoneal space. These findings were confirmed with a postmortem examination, corroborating the diagnostic suspicion of urinoma. The percutaneous contrast inoculation performed in this critically ill patient plays a role in the diagnostic process to reach a final diagnosis in cases in which the patient’s clinical condition does not allow for performing an excretory positive contrast study.

Radiographic examination of the calcaneus bone using X-rays can clearly determine the location of the spur formation. The aim of this study was to determine the procedure for carrying out Os Calcaneus radiography with suspected spur formation at Columbia Asia Hospital, Medan. The type of examination used is descriptive qualitative. Data collection techniques are based on the results of literature reviews, interviews, observations and documentation. This examination was carried out at Columbia Asia Hospital Medan, in January 2020, using a General X-ray unit x-ray, 18 cm x 24 cm cassette, with image processing using Computed Radiography. The results of the research obtained radiographic images of the calcaneus bone with greater detail and sharpness, so that it could show spur formation on the calcaneus bone. To show the anatomical picture and pathological abnormalities in the Os Calcaneus with suspected spur formation, it can be done using Axial and Lateral projections.
