Pathophysiology and Grayscale Ultrasonography of Penile Corporal Fibrosis
2022, Sexual Medicine ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Compared to computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, US can be performed rapidly, conveniently, and economically by the urologist at the bedside. The use of grayscale US has already been adopted as a non-invasive method to characterize fibrosis and tissue heterogeneity in hepatic cirrhosis and chronic liver disease.79,80 As it stands, Doppler US is already routinely utilized in clinically assessing ED.
Nanotheranostics: Their role in hepatocellular carcinoma
2020, Critical Reviews in Oncology/HematologyCitation Excerpt :Unfortunately, its application in HCC remains limited due to high background uptake of the tracer as well as variability in tumor specific uptake in HCC patients. Ultrasound (US) is an operator-dependent and least expensive primary screening test for the examination of liver parenchyma (Nicolau et al., 2002; Vogl et al., 2002). Guidelines for using US in diagnosing HCC as well as cholangiocarcinoma in adults follow those of the British Society of Gastroenterologists (Khan et al., 2002; Ryder, 2003).
Diagnostic Value of Conventional and Doppler Ultrasound Findings in Liver Fibrosis in Patients with Chronic Viral Hepatitis
2015, Journal of Medical UltrasoundCitation Excerpt :Ultrasonography (US) is considered a noninvasive and inexpensive method for the diagnosis of focal and diffuse parenchymal diseases of the liver. Although US can detect liver cirrhosis in patients with decompensated liver function, it is not a suitable method for detecting acute changes [14–16]. These findings led to the study of several noninvasive laboratory and imaging methods for accurate determination of the amount of liver fibrosis in recent years.

2014, Journal of the Chinese Medical AssociationCitation Excerpt :In our study, hepatobiliary disease incurred the highest need for repeat abdominal ultrasound. This is in accordance with the proper diagnostic procedure for such disease.12,13 For diseases such as hepatic tumors, hepatic inflammation, choledocholithiasis,14 and other hepatobiliary disease, abdominal ultrasound is the modality of choice for both screening and diagnosis.15,16
