Transabdominal sonography of the cavum septum pellucidum in normal fetuses

(Ultrasound Review) The cavum septum pellucidum (CSP) is a cerebral cavity commonly demonstrated on ultrasound examinations performed during the second and third trimesters. Absence of the CSP is characteristic of brain abnormalities, such as agenesis of the corpus callosum, holoprosencephaly, septo-optic dysplasia, and schizencephaly.

Detection of parenchymal abnormalities in acute pyelonephritis

(Ultrasound Review) To assess the effectiveness of pulse-inversion harmonic imaging (PIHI) in detecting acute pyelonephritis (APN), 30 patients along with 10 volunteers were studied using PIHI, tissue harmonic imaging (THI), and conventional ultrasound. The findings of this study, researched by radiologists in Korea, were recently published in the Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine.
