Tele-Ultrasound: What the Data Show

A review of 6,051 papers → 18 studies across 11 countries found:
• Strong diagnostic performance (agreement up to 100%)
• Positive provider experience
• Good patient acceptance
• Cost savings

Tele-ultrasound is feasible and clinically meaningful — when supported by proper technology.

Doppler for Deresuscitation Readiness

• Discontinuous IRVF → 4× odds of success
• 87% sensitivity
• VExUS 2–3 → high specificity, low sensitivity
• IRVF ↓ correlates with ↓ NT-proBNP

IRVF reflects bedside physiology — not long-term outcomes.

Useful for when to remove fluids, not what will happen after.

⚡ AI is reshaping Lung Ultrasound.
Lung ultrasound (LUS) is powerful, but inherently subjective.
This international, multi-center study demonstrates that AI models can grade LUS severity with expert-level performance.

New data show that a brief 4-hour training (lecture + supervised scans) allows medical students, ICU nurses, and residents to measure optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) with accuracy comparable to experts.
Only nurse students had higher variability.
This supports wider adoption of ONSD as a noninvasive tool for early detection of elevated intracranial pressure — even beyond specialist teams.

ACEI angioedema can hit at any time—skip the adrenaline, think Icatibant.
Takotsubo recovery can trigger DLVOTO; avoid adrenaline and always echo-monitor.
For LVOT gradients, know your jets: MR is rounded, LVOT is dagger-shaped.
IABP can help or hurt in shock—expert echo guidance is key! #Cardiology #MedicalScience #Echocardiography #Takotsubo #ACEi #Angioedema #ICu #MedEd #ClinicalCare #HeartHealth #MedMastodon #HealthTech

✨ Pilot study highlight:
Using advanced CUDI processing (regularization, motion correction, SVD filtering), we showed that spatiotemporal similarity analysis outperforms TIC fitting in distinguishing RCC tumors from normal parenchyma.
A promising step toward more accurate, noninvasive RCC diagnosis.#Ultrasound #CUDI #Radiomics #RCC #KidneyCancer #MedicalImaging

📌 RV dilation is a pattern, not a diagnosis.
📌 RV size must always be interpreted within hemodynamics.
📌 Shock phenotypes can overlap — and mislead.

CEUS might just change the game in maternal–fetal imaging. 🌸
It gives a real-time look at placental perfusion, finds vessels smaller than 100 μm, and does it all safely.
A glimpse into the future of pregnancy imaging — precision, safety, and next-gen tech working together. 💡🫶

When β-HCG levels are low, standard ultrasound struggles to tell what’s really going on — early pregnancy, miscarriage, or ectopic? 🤔
That’s where contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) steps in: higher tissue resolution, better differentiation, clearer answers.
Our study used the updated 3500 mIU/mL cutoff and showed how CEUS can reveal what traditional scans miss.
Real innovation for early pregnancy care. 💡✨

In this systematic review and meta‑analysis, chest ultrasonography performed by Emergency Healthcare Workers, had greater sensitivity and negative predictive value than chest radiography for the diagnosis of pneumothorax in emergency department patients.

Unrestricted breath-holding index effectively captures individual physiological variability and provides a comprehensive evaluation of cerebral haemodynamics relevant to cognitive health, for early cerebrovascular risk screening and personalised neurovascular assessment in healthy older adults.

The findings of this review underscore the diverse teaching formats and educational opportunities associated with ultrasound-based anatomy instruction.

New paper out! 🚀 This study presents a model combining B-mode ultrasound (BMUS) and CEUS for accurate prediction of the macrotrabecular-massive (MTM) subtype of HCC, and explores its potential to predict recurrence-free survival (RFS).

This review systematically examines current applications of ultrasound imaging and therapy in oncology, evaluates its potential clinical value, analyzes existing technical limitations, and discusses future development prospects.

1️⃣ What’s the worst way to check CVC position after insertion and spot complications?
👉 CXR.
2️⃣ What’s the best way to check CVC position and catch complications early?
👉 POCUS.
👌 Great! So based on that…
❓ What do you actually use in your daily practice?
👉 CXR. 🙃
