Microscopic thrombi in glioblastoma multiforme do not predict the development of deep venous thrombosis.

29 Sep 2009 Patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) are known to be at risk for hypercoagulable events. Tumoral intravascular thrombi likely contribute to the development of hypoxia and necrosis. The purpose of this study was to assess whether there is a ... Read more...

Interventional endoscopic ultrasound: the next frontier in gastrointestinal endoscopy.

29 Sep 2009 Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has become well established as a diagnostic modality in gastrointestinal cancer staging. It offers high-resolution imaging and fine-needle biopsy, which is essential in tumor and nodal staging of gastrointestinal cancers. ... Read more...

B-mode ultrasound with algorithm based on statistical analysis of signals: evaluation of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the degree of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C by use of a method in which the homogeneity of the tissue texture of the liver on B-mode ultrasound images is analyzed on the ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Ultrasonography'

Definition: The visualization of deep structures of the body by recording the reflections of echoes of pulses of ultrasonic waves directed into the tissues. Use of ultrasound for imaging or diagnostic purposes employs frequencies ranging from 1.6 to 10 megahertz.
