Ultrasonography of Superficial Soft-Tissue Masses: Society of ...
2022年4月12日 · When presented with a soft-tissue mass using US, the initial assessment determines if the mass is superficial (cutaneous or subcutaneous) or deep to subcutaneous tissues. If superficial, there is a group of common abnormalities that have pathognomonic or characteristic features enabling a confident diagnosis.
Soft Tissue Masses: Evaluation and Treatment - AAFP
Ultrasonography can be used to assess size, depth, solid or cystic nature, and associated vasculature. Magnetic resonance imaging with contrast provides spatial orientation and delineation of...
Superficial Soft Tissues Masses - Radiology Key
2016年6月19日 · Ultrasound will demonstrate a subcutaneous, heterogeneous, hypoechoic mass with internal echogenic foci in a scattered-dot pattern, a hypoechoic rim, and posterior shadowing . The posterior acoustic shadowing is seen in almost 90% of cases and is the result of the internal calcification ( 16 ).
Soft Tissue Masses - Radiology Key
2016年7月27日 · Color and power Doppler may help distinguish between cystic and solid masses and characterize malignant masses and lymph nodes. Ultrasound can guide percutaneous biopsy, particularly useful with masses near neurovascular structures or the pleura where real-time imaging during biopsy is necessary.
Ultrasound of Soft Tissue Masses - Radiology Key
2016年1月17日 · Ultrasound is an effective method for guiding percutaneous biopsy. The clinician referring a patient with a suspected soft tissue mass is usually asking one or more of the following questions: (a) is there a lesion? (b) where is it? (c) what is it? Ultrasound has been shown to be a highly sensitive technique in the detection of soft tissue masses.
Ultrasonography of Pediatric Superficial Soft Tissue Tumors and …
US (A) shows large ill-defined heterogeneous mass, which infiltrates subcutaneous tissue and underlying musculature with marked skin thickening. Color Doppler scan (B) shows increased vascular flow with high velocity of lesion.
Sonography of Musculoskeletal Soft-Tissue Masses: Techniques …
2014年5月21日 · Performance of real-time ultrasound by a radiologist is ideal for evaluation of soft-tissue masses. It facilitates acquisition of a detailed history, confident determination of anatomic location, evaluation with dynamic maneuvers, and easy comparison with the contralateral side and increases the visibility of radiologists with patients.
Small Subcutaneous Soft Tissue Tumors (<5 cm) Can Be …
Subcutaneous masses smaller than 5 cm can be malignant, in contrast with the international guidelines. Ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are useful to distinguish a potentially malignant mass from the numerous benign soft tissue (ST) lesions.
Superficial Soft-Tissue Masses: Analysis, Diagnosis, and Differential ...
2007年3月1日 · A wide variety of superficial soft-tissue masses may be seen in clinical practice, but a systematic approach can help achieve a definitive diagnosis or limit a differential diagnosis.
Approach to Evaluating Superficial Soft Tissue Masses by Ultrasound
2024年9月14日 · Sonographic evaluation of superficial soft tissue masses is a common diagnostic challenge in clinical practice. A systematic approach to these masses enables effective diagnosis and minimizes errors. This article presents the authors’ preferred approach based on lesion location, grayscale appearance and Doppler features.
