Toward an Appropriate Point-of-Care Ultrasound Curriculum: A Reflection of the Clinical Practice in South Africa
Conclusions This study indicates a mismatch between the current point-of-care ultrasound curriculum and the clinical burden of disease experienced. Disease burden, disease impact, technical difficulty of ultrasound applications, and logistical barriers need to be incorporated when considering a change in the curriculum to make it more appropriate for the South African setting.

Ilioinguinal Nerve Block in Obese Patients: Description of New Technique
Publication date: Available online 30 December 2015 Source:Journal of Medical Ultrasound Author(s): Jonathan Mathers, Chris Haley, Michael Gofeld Ilioinguinal nerve blockade is an effective technique for both perioperative and chronic pain conditions in adult and pediatric practice. Ultrasound guidance can increase the success rate and reduce the complications associated with performing ilioinguinal nerve blockade. Obese patients present a particular challenge with ilioinguinal block as the overlying abdominal pannus impedes the ultrasound view by increasing the depth to target and necessitating an out-of-plane a...

The Role of Computer-Aided Detection and Diagnosis System in the Differential Diagnosis of Thyroid Lesions in Ultrasonography
Publication date: Available online 22 December 2015 Source:Journal of Medical Ultrasound Author(s): Tien-Chun Chang To avoid abuse of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and to save the time of a learning curve, a computer-aided detection and diagnosis (CAD) system to detect suspicious lesions for FNAC from thyroid ultrasonography has been developed by the Department of Industrial Engineering, cooperative with the Department of Surgery at the National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan. The purposes of this article are to introduce how to utilize the CAD system in thyroid ultrasonography, and to outline the real ro...

Missed Diagnosis of an Arteriovenous Fistula by Penile Color Doppler Ultrasonography in a 20-Year-Old Male
Publication date: Available online 7 November 2015 Source:Journal of Medical Ultrasound Author(s): Timothy P. Rogers, Timothy K. Suttle, Ajay Singla High-flow priapism secondary to posttraumatic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) formation is a condition that can be easily diagnosed via penile color Doppler ultrasonography. In order to make the diagnosis, however, adequate coverage of the shaft and perineum is required when performing the scan. This case highlights failure to properly cover these areas, resulting in missed diagnosis of penile AVF. (Source: Journal of Medical Ultrasound)

Patent Urachus Presenting as Acute Abdomen
Publication date: Available online 10 October 2015 Source:Journal of Medical Ultrasound Author(s): Mauro de Queiroz Garcia, Marcelo de Queiroz Garcia, Carlyle Marques Barral The urachus is an epithelial tubular structure located in the midline that spreads from the anterosuperior part of the bladder to the navel, connecting the apex of the urinary bladder with the allantois in the fetus, and is involved in forming the umbilical structures. When the urachal tract is not completely obliterated during embryonic development, bladder diverticulum, urachal cyst, umbilical polyp, or patent urachus may result. Therefore,...
