Pre-hospital identification of a giant bladder calculus through screening sonog...

Introduction: Screening ultrasound proves to be remarkably beneficial in pre-hospital settings, particularly in geographically remote areas with technological constraints and no medical specialties. Urological pathology has a high frequency of occurrence in the emergency department and is part of the wide range of occurrences that can benefit from this ultrasound screening as a clinical guide for patients. Case...

Point-of-care ultrasound for the early detection of intrahepatic biliary tract ...

Background/Objectives: Ultrasonography is a diagnostic modality characterized by high sensitivity in detecting hepato-biliary pathology, particularly intrahepatic biliary duct dilation. This study compares the sonographic findings obtained by a radiographer/sonographer in a Basic Emergency Service (BES) using Point-of-Care Ultrasonography (POCUS) in Portugal with the sonographic findings from the same patients ...

Early detection of metastatic disease through screening ultrasound

Screening ultrasound is crucial in emergency care, providing precise guidance for patients in various situations. Its versatility, real-time imaging, and lack of radiation make it invaluable, especially in settings lacking diagnostic resources and specialized expertise. The widespread use of screening ultrasound among health professionals, regardless of their level of sonographic expertise, emphasizes the need ...

Renal screening sonography—a comparative study in a portuguese basic emergency ...

Renal Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) is a screening modality that aids in clinical decision-making for patients with suspected renal colic. This study intends to compare the accuracy and pertinence of sonographic findings obtained by a sonographer in a Basic Emergency Service (BES) with the imaging findings at the Referral Hospital (RH). Methods: Thirty-one patients suspected of having renal pathology underwe...

Advancing Precision in Physical Education and Sports Science

This chapter provides an overview of the current state of medical imaging methods in body composition analysis. It advocates a holistic approach that combines the strengths of different approaches and addresses their limitations. We discuss the importance of using standardized protocols to improve the accuracy of body composition studies across populations and settings. By examining the capabilities and limitat...

Pre-hospital detection of intrahepatic biliary duct dilatation: Recognizing the...

Diagnosing and confirming intrahepatic biliary duct dilation (IHBDD) involves a coordinated effort across multiple medical spe cialties, often relying on comprehensive blood analysis. However, the utility of screening ultrasound in detecting intrahepatic biliary dilation becomes particularly valuable in pre-hospital settings like our Basic Emergency Service, especially when access to alternative imaging techniq...
