TLDR
Different aspects of US in gastroenterology are presented, with a special emphasis on the contribution from Nordic scientists in developing clinical applications.Abstract:
Ultrasonography (US) is a safe and available real-time, high-resolution imaging method, which during the last decades has been increasingly integrated as a clinical tool in gastroenterology. New US applications have emerged with enforced data software and new technical solutions, including strain evaluation, three-dimensional imaging and use of ultrasound contrast agents. Specific gastroenterologic applications have been developed by combining US with other diagnostic or therapeutic methods, such as endoscopy, manometry, puncture needles, diathermy and stents. US provides detailed structural information about visceral organs without hazard to the patients and can play an important clinical role by reducing the need for invasive procedures. This paper presents different aspects of US in gastroenterology, with a special emphasis on the contribution from Nordic scientists in developing clinical applications.read more

TL;DR: The reduced number of intestinal contractions and lack of 5-HT release after a meal in FGDS patients surprisingly resemble colonic motility disturbances seen in patients with constipation.

The role of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the characterisation of focal liver lesions
D.L. Sandulescu,Adrian Saftoiu,Ion Rogoveanu,Tudorel Ciurea,Dan Ionut Gheonea,Sevastiţa Iordache,A. M. Ioncica +6 more
TL;DR: Comparison enhancement patterns of different lesions were summarized and a diagnosis algorithm for the characterisation of focal liver lesions based on the proposed algorithm was defined, clearly useful for the differentiatiation of liver tumors.

TL;DR: Using ultrasonography to measure the antral area helps to assess gastric emptying and therefore to assess patients with functional dyspepsia and the caloric content of a meal influences gastrics emptying.

Ultrasonography in Gastroenterology: The Need for Training.
TL;DR: There is a need for modern gastroenterology to include US as a basic skill in its clinical practice, to ensure the provision of high-quality US, and adequate instruction of future specialists should be guaranteed by the gastroenterologists departments and required in the residency training programme.
