Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions in Confirmed Pulmonary Arterial Embolism Follow-up Study of B-Mode Ultrasound and of Perfusion Patterns Using Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS)

Ehsan Safai Zadeh et al.

Summary: In patients with confirmed PE, follow-up of PPLs using B-LUS showed delayed regression. CEUS follow-up examinations revealed different perfusion patterns of PPLs, indicating varying ages and reparative processes of pulmonary infarction. Regardless of underlying signs and symptoms, follow-up B-LUS and CEUS examinations may aid in retrospective diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary infarction suggestive of PE.

Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound for Evaluation of Pleural Effusion A Pictorial Essay

Ehsan Safai Zadeh et al.

Summary: B-mode ultrasound is commonly used to evaluate pleural effusion, but has limitations in assessing its malignancy. Computed tomography and thoracoscopy are preferred methods for this purpose. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound is presented as an additional tool for evaluation, taking into account the clinical background for a more comprehensive assessment.

Perfusion Patterns of Peripheral Pulmonary Granulomatous Lesions Using Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) and Their Correlation with Immunohistochemically Detected Vascularization Patterns

Ehsan Safai Zadeh et al.

Summary: CEUS imaging of PPGLs reveals a perfusion pattern similar to malignant lesions, characterized by reduced heterogeneous enhancement and rapid washout. This study also demonstrates a histopathological correlation between neoangiogenesis and the BA pattern of enhancement on CEUS for the first time.

Ultrasound of the chest and mediastinum in children, interventions and artefacts. WFUMB review paper (part 3)

Cheng Fang et al.

Summary: Ultrasound is an ideal diagnostic tool for paediatric patients due to its real-time imaging, lack of ionizing radiation, and easy accessibility. It is particularly effective in evaluating pleural and chest wall abnormalities in children, thanks to their lack of superficial adipose tissue and favorable acoustic windows. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the technical requirements and applications of ultrasound in lung and pleural diseases, as well as diseases related to the chest wall, mediastinum, diaphragm, trachea, and interventions in paediatric patients.

Perfusion patterns of peripheral pulmonary lesions in COVID-19 patients using contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) A case series

Ehsan Safai Zadeh et al.

Summary: The study found that COVID-19 patients with peripheral pulmonary lesions often exhibit a CEUS pattern with NPA, suggesting a potential peripheral pulmonary perfusion disturbance in these patients. Histopathological examination in one case confirmed the correlation between perfusion disturbance and the PPL.

WFUMB position paper on reverberation artefacts in lung ultrasound: B-lines or comet-tails?

Gebhard Mathis et al.

Summary: The analysis of vertical reverberation artefacts is crucial in pulmonary ultrasound differential diagnosis. BLA and CTA are two common types of reverberation artefacts with distinct clinical presentations and diagnostic implications. Using low frequency transducers to detect BLA and high frequency transducers to detect the pleural surface is recommended.
