US offers info on complete quadriceps tendon tears

(Ultrasound Review) Radiologists and surgeons at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, MI, set out to ascertain the ultrasound features of partial-thickness and complete tears of the quadriceps tendon.

EVT promising in patients with extracranial ICA occlusions

Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) and best medical treatment are both effective and safe options for patients with acute extracranial internal carotid artery occlusions.

Images depict a 49-year-old female participant with cryptogenic cirrhosis who presented with a 3.2-cm liver lesion. This biopsy-confirmed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with an initial categorization of Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) category LR-4 (probably HCC) at CT was upgraded to LR-5 (definitely HCC) at contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). (A) Precontrast CT images in the liver show vague hypoattenuation in the medial left hepatic lobe (arrows). (B) Arterial phase images demonstrate no definite arterial phase hyperenhancement (arrows). (C) Washout and an enhancing capsule (arrows) on a late-phase image resulted in an LR-4 categorization. (D) B-mode ultrasound shows a round hypoechoic nodule (arrows). (E) An early-phase CEUS image shows clear arterial-phase hyperenhancement (arrows); (F) No washout at one minute (arrows), and (G) late, mild washout at four minutes (arrows) resulted in a CEUS LR-5 categorization.
