Gynecologic Patients

Abstract Two-dimensional ultrasound is commonly used in gynecologic patients. It has been shown to be very useful for diagnosing pelvic pathology in both asymptomatic and symptomatic patients. Three-dimensional ultrasound is a new imaging modality, which is being introduced into clinical practice. Although this technique will not probably replace two-dimensional ultrasound, it is being increasingly used. It has been reported that 3DUS is a very high reproducible technique that may have applications in the field of gynecology. These applications include imaging of the uterus, uterine cavity, adnexa and pelvic floor, as well as very interesting applications using three-dimensional power-Doppler ultrasound. The aim of this paper is addressing some technical features of three-dimensional ultrasound and reviewing its current status in clinical practice.

Ovarian Pathology

Abstract Three-dimensional Power Doppler ultrasound is a new imaging modality for assessing tissue vascularization, which is being introduced into clinical practice and it is being increasingly used. In the last years a number of papers assessing the role of this method for assessing adnexal masses vascularization have been published. The aim of this work is to address some technical aspects of 3D US, to review critically its current status in clinical practice and to address future perspectives of its use.

ABSTRACTPurely carbonaceous aggregates C20 have been studied by the AM1 quantumchemical method. In addition to one dodecahedron-shaped structure possessing C1 symmetry another three-dimensional species is revealed, viz. a bowl-shaped structureof C5v symmetry (and also one two-dimensional and two one-dimensional species). Temperature dependence of the relative stabilities of both three-dimensional structures is evaluated, showing that in the relevant temperature region the fullerenic species is prevailing. However, in a very high temperature region a relative-stability interchange has been predicted.

Mitral stenosis is an important cause of heart valve disease globally. Echocardiography is the main imaging modality used to diagnose and assess the severity and hemodynamic consequences of mitral stenosis as well as valve morphology. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is sufficient for the management of most patients. The focus of this review is the role of current two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) echocardiographic imaging for the evaluation of mitral stenosis.

Reliable Methods

Dear Editor, Two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography is a powerful tool for assessment of mitral regurgitation (MR) [1]. However, it bears several major disadvantages. Evidence suggests that measurement of the vena contracta area (VCA) via a three-dimensional (3D) method is significantly more accurate than 2D methods in the quantification of MR since the 2D method is not sufficiently reliable in calculation of VC diameter because of  circular assumption of VC area [2]. VCA direct planimetry (DP) and multiplanar reconstruction (MPR)-derived VCA are direct and reliable methods to quantify MR severity, and their results are comparable with those of 2D integrative method [2, 3]. It is strongly recommended that these methods especially DP can replace 2D methods in the quantification of MR in the clinical practice, as it is more accurate and easy to perform [3].

Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) is rapidly becoming a standard part of many rheumatologists’ daily clinical practice. MSUS is safe, increasingly widely available, relatively low cost, non-invasive, and hence very acceptable to the patient. Current problems with availability of training, mentoring, and accreditation procedures need to be overcome for MSUS to reach its full potential for rheumatologists. MSUS is capable of improving clinical diagnosis and the accuracy of intervention. MSUS is more sensitive than clinical examination in the detection of synovitis and effusion and is capable of rapid targeted assessment of widely spaced joints coupled with clinical correlation. MSUS has advantages over other imaging modalities; the ability to display dynamic real-time movement makes it the imaging modality of choice for tendon problems. It is significantly more sensitive than plain radiology in the demonstration of early erosive changes, and although its sensitivity is less than that of MRI for the detection of erosions it is far more practical, timely, and available. The combination of sensitivity in detection of synovitis, tenosynovitis, and erosions makes it an ideal imaging modality in the context of an early arthritis clinic. Power Doppler has been shown to be an effective way of evaluating synovitis and hence is of value in early diagnosis and monitoring of inflammatory arthritides. The accuracy of placement of local injection therapies is enhanced by MSUS, and it significantly increases the diagnostic success rate of aspiration of joints and bursas. The flexibility of ultrasound as a tool for rheumatologists is shown by its application in the assessment of vasculitides, peripheral nerve pathology, salivary glands, and skin lesions.
