Normal Intracranial Translucency Values During the First Trimester of Gestation in a Latin American Population
Conclusions—
We present normal intracranial translucency values in the first trimester of single gestations with live fetuses in a Latin American population. These values are similar to those described in other populations. The intracranial translucency value was linearly correlated with crown-rump length in fetuses between gestational ages of 11 weeks and 13 weeks 6 days, which is consistent with previous publications, although these data cannot be interpreted independently.

Sonography Is Superior to Serum-Based Biomarkers for Measuring Disease Status in Experimental Rheumatoid Arthritis
Conclusions—
Sonographic findings had better correlations with histologic scoring than serologic biomarkers of disease activity in the RA rabbit model, especially at early stages. Local pathologic assessment of disease status by sonography is possible. (Source: Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine)

Comparison of Ultrasound-Guided to Fluoroscopy-Guided Biceps Tendon Sheath Therapeutic Injection
Conclusions—
Compared to fluoroscopy-guided biceps tendon sheath injection, ultrasound had higher initial- and final-pass success rates, visualized abnormalities before injection, and had similar pain relief and complication rates. Ultrasound is more accurate and has greater diagnostic benefits than unguided or fluoroscopy-guided biceps tendon sheath injection. (Source: Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine)

Sonoelastography of Musculoskeletal Soft Tissue Masses: A Pilot Study of Quantitative Evaluation
Conclusions—
These data suggest that shear wave velocity measurement is reproducible and that malignant masses may have slower longitudinal shear wave velocities than benign masses. The sample size of this pilot study precludes adjusted analysis but should form the basis for larger study designs. (Source: Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine)

Measurement of the Human Calcaneus In Vivo Using Ultrasonic Backscatter Spectral Centroid Shift
Conclusions—
The moderate correlations observed between the spectral centroid shift and the spine and hip BMD demonstrate that the ultrasonic backscattered spectral centroid shift may be a useful measurement for assessment of the cancellous bone status. (Source: Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine)

Sonography of Morton Neuromas: What Are We Really Looking At?
Conclusions—
The hypoechoic heterogeneous mass that is referred to as a Morton neuroma sonographically is really a "neuroma-bursal complex" that is much larger than the actual neuroma itself. (Source: Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine)

Is Ultrasonography More Sensitive Than Computed Tomography for Identifying Calcifications in Thyroid Nodules?
Conclusions—
US is more sensitive and accurate than CT for detecting calcifications in thyroid nodules. Hence, US is recommended as the preferred imaging modality for calcification detection in thyroid nodules. (Source: Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine)

Evaluation of Parathyroid Lesions With Point Shear Wave Elastography
Conclusions—
The VTQ method of point SWE may contribute to the discrimination of parathyroid adenomas from the thyroid gland. However, more comprehensive studies are needed. (Source: Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine)

Ultrasound-Guided Ureteral Stent Removal in Women
Conclusions—
The proposed method for ureteral stent removal in women under ultrasound guidance was shown to be faster and to have lower visual analog pain scale scores, in comparison with removal by a cystoscope, which makes it an attractive option for outpatient urologic praxis in uncomplicated cases, and because it is free of the risk of ionizing radiation and more comfortable, it can be used in pregnant patients.

The "Dirty Liver" as a Coincidental Finding on Sonography: Sonographic Criteria for Biliary Microhamartomas of the Liver
Conclusions—
The sonographic appearance of biliary microhamartomas is characteristic and typical enough that histologic confirmation is not always necessary. Follow-up examinations to monitor any developments are usually adequate. (Source: Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine)

Color Doppler Imaging of the Appendix: Criteria to Improve Specificity for Appendicitis in the Borderline-Size Appendix
Conclusions—
Continuous intramural linear or curvilinear signal measuring at least 3 mm on color Doppler imaging is a highly specific, although relatively insensitive, sign of acute appendicitis in noncompressible appendices of diagnostically borderline size (6–8 mm). (Source: Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine)

Interobserver and Intraobserver Agreement on Qualitative Assessments of Right Ventricular Dysfunction With Echocardiography in Patients With Pulmonary Embolism
Conclusions—
Agreement was substantial for both severe RV enlargement and RV systolic dysfunction and moderate for septal deviation. Right ventricular dysfunction assessment with qualitative goal-directed echocardiographic criteria is reproducible for PE risk stratification. (Source: Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine)
