He shows you another report done 3 months back.

What to do ..?

USG NOT ACCURATE IN DETECTING STONES LESS THAN 5 MM

Classical appearance of a calculus on USG
![Page 10: Practical tips in sonography](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/58ed14bb1a28ab101b8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Arcuate artery calcification Milk of calcium
cyst
Angiomyolipoma
Some Ultrasound mimics of calculi

USG IN RENAL CALCULI
FOR Good in detecting
large renal and upper ureteric calculi.
Good in detecting hydronephrosis.
No radiation.
AGAINST Not good in mid and
lower ureteric calculi and small renal calculi.
Chemical analysis not possible.
Operator variation.
![Page 12: Practical tips in sonography](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/58ed14bb1a28ab101b8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Gold standard in detecting renal , ureteric and bladder calculi is CT.
It can detect almost all calculi.
Gives HU values for chemical analysis
Risks are radiation and cost. Hence should be used with caution.
![Page 13: Practical tips in sonography](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/58ed14bb1a28ab101b8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Key points
USG is the preferred modality in initial evaluation of renal/ureteric colic.
Tiny calculi , middle and lower ureteric calculi are not accurately detected.
CT is the gold standard , should be used with caution to avoid excess radiation.

CASE 2
55 year old complains of Bloating sensation in abdomen.
He comes with an USG report.
![Page 15: Practical tips in sonography](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/58ed14bb1a28ab101b8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Criteria for fatty liver on USG
Liver echogenicity exceeds that of right kidney and spleen.
And There is beam attenuation.
![Page 17: Practical tips in sonography](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/58ed14bb1a28ab101b8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What is grading of fatty liver on USG
Grade 1
Grade 2 Grade
3
![Page 18: Practical tips in sonography](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/58ed14bb1a28ab101b8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Does grade 3fatty liver means progression to cirrhosis..?
NO. Not necessarily it is a rough estimate for fat in liver , that`s all
![Page 19: Practical tips in sonography](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/58ed14bb1a28ab101b8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Once fatty liver is found , look for for causes. If no cause is found labelled as NAFLD nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. This affects 10-20% of population. Those with normal liver enzymes can be managed with reduction in weight and lifestyle modification.
Those with persistent elevated liver enzymes are called NASHNonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

Can not be detected on USG at present
Biopsy is recommended to assess inflammation and fibrosis.
![Page 21: Practical tips in sonography](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/58ed14bb1a28ab101b8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Two new techniques promise to fill this gap
![Page 22: Practical tips in sonography](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/58ed14bb1a28ab101b8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Something about fibroscan
A new technique to assess fibrosis of liver.
Employs modified ultrasound probe which assesses velocity of a shear wave created by a vibratory source.
Values of above 12.5kPa are indicative of cirrhosis.
![Page 23: Practical tips in sonography](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/58ed14bb1a28ab101b8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
MR elastography promises to detect fibrosis and inflammation noninvasively.
![Page 24: Practical tips in sonography](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/58ed14bb1a28ab101b8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Key points
USG is sensitive in detecting fatty liver.
It can not detect liver inflammation and early fibrosis.
Liver biopsy is currently gold standard for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.
New noninvasive techniques are promising.

Case 3
A 10 year old child has recurrent abdominal pain.
![Page 26: Practical tips in sonography](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/58ed14bb1a28ab101b8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
USG report shows
![Page 27: Practical tips in sonography](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/58ed14bb1a28ab101b8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
? SIGNIFICANT ? MESENTERIC ADENITIS
![Page 28: Practical tips in sonography](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/58ed14bb1a28ab101b8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
EALN– enlarged abdominal lymph node Journal of ultrasound in
medicine 2007
![Page 29: Practical tips in sonography](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/58ed14bb1a28ab101b8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
It is normal to find small nodes in children.
Lymph nodes should show , minimum or short axis diameter at least 10 mm to be significant or to be called mesenteric adenitis.

Case 425 year old male with recurrent RIF pain
![Page 31: Practical tips in sonography](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/58ed14bb1a28ab101b8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
appendicitis
![Page 32: Practical tips in sonography](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/58ed14bb1a28ab101b8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
How accurate is Ultrasound or is it necessary..? Sensitivity of USG is about 70% in
detecting appendicitis. Main use is to rule out alternative
diagnosis.
![Page 33: Practical tips in sonography](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/58ed14bb1a28ab101b8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Is there a modality 100% accurate in acute appendicitis Abdominal CT is 100% sensitive in
acute appendicitis.
![Page 34: Practical tips in sonography](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013013/58ed14bb1a28ab101b8b45ab/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Summary--

But if not done and interpreted properly..
