Objective: The azoospermia is increasingly becoming prevalent year by year,which has been plaguing a great number of infertile couples. Testes biopsy is a gold index to evaluate the testicular spermatogenesis in patie...
Ultrasound is an essential modality within musculoskeletal imaging, with the recent addition of elastography. The elastic properties of tissues are different from the acoustic impedance used to create B mode imaging a...
Carpal tunnel syndrome(CTS) is a common peripheral entrapment neuropathy of the median nerve at wrist level, and is thought to be caused by compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel. There is no standard qu...
Early diagnosis of liver cirrhosis is important. Ultrasoundguided liver biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosis of liver cirrhosis. However, its invasiveness and sampling bias limit the applicability of the method. ...
Background Conventional ultrasonography or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is commonly performed to obtain information about the severity of the disease,location of the injury,and differential diagnosis.The aim of t...
Acoustic radiation force impulse(ARFI)imaging is a new and promising ultrasound-based diagnostic technique that,evaluating the wave propagation speed,allows the assessment of the tissue stiffness.ARFI is implemented i...
