Case study: Complete rectus femoris tear in an adolescent soccer player
A valuable tool in evaluating rectus femoris tears, ultrasound can be used to assess the size of the rupture, rule out other conditions, allow longitudinal assessment, and eventually guide the evacuation of the hematoma. Sonographer Dearbhla O'Dwyer and Dr. Stefano Ciatti discuss one case of a complete rectus femoris tear in an adolescent soccer player.

Pictorial essay: 3D ultrasound reveals shoulder pathology
The correct diagnosis of shoulder pathology is important but can be challenging. In a pictorial essay, sonographer Dearbhla O'Dwyer and Dr. Stefano Ciatti explain why ultrasound is up to that challenge. In particular, they discuss the value of 3D sonography for the presentation of soft-tissue structures and the overall visualization of shoulder disorders.

Example of AI-assisted pulmonary nodule detection and longitudinal volumetric assessment in a 65-year-old woman with peripheral arterial disease, a 24-pack-year smoking history, emphysema, and a family history of lung cancer. An incidental 8.5-mm right lower lobe pulmonary nodule is identified at CT angiography of the abdomen in July 2022 but does not receive follow-up. Subsequent imaging demonstrates interval growth, and CT-guided biopsy confirms stage IA lung adenocarcinoma. Contrast-enhanced axial chest CT images obtained on February 2, 2024, before robotic-assisted thoracoscopic segmentectomy, show a 12.1-mm spiculated right lower lobe pulmonary nodule. (A) Conventional contrast-enhanced axial chest CT image without AI assistance shows a 12.1-mm spiculated right lower lobe pulmonary nodule. (B) Corresponding CT image with AI-assisted pulmonary nodule detection, automated segmentation, and quantitative nodule assessment identifies a solid pulmonary nodule (nodule #1) measuring 13 × 8 (11) mm, with a volume of 739 mm3, a 45% volumetric increase compared with the previous contrast-enhanced chest CT performed on October 9, 2023 (510 mm3), and an estimated volume doubling time (VDT) of 216 days. (C) AI-generated longitudinal nodule analysis displays automated segmentation of the current (February 2, 2024) and previous (October 9, 2023) CT examinations, 3D nodule reconstruction, and quantitative volumetric assessment for longitudinal follow-up. The AI interface is displayed in the original software language (Dutch).
