Strain Elastography: AValuable Additional Method to BI-RADS?

Xin-Bao Zhao et al.

The authors focus exclusively on BI-RADS-US 3 and 4 lesions and hypothesize that improved diagnostic performance can be achieved by integrating realtime elastography (strain ratio) into the BI-RADS-US classification system.

 

Validation of Multiparametric Ultrasonography Criteria with Digital Subtraction Angiography in Carotid Artery Disease: A Prospective Multicenter Study

Kristian Barlinn et al.

The German Society of Ultrasound in Medicine (DEGUM) recently revised its multiparametric criteria for duplex ultrasonography (DUS) grading of internal carotid
artery (ICA) disease. The team of authors determined the diagnostic accuracy of the revised DEGUM criteria for ultrasonography grading of ICA disease in a prospective multicenter study.
