The use of sonography is easy in the foot and ankle region due to the subcutaneous location of most structures. The sonography can be helpful for differential diagnosis of many foot and ankle disease. This review tried to describe the usefulness of the sonography for the common foot and ankle diseases.

The artifacts in sonography is not always harmful. Sometimes it is beneficial for the evaluation of the water contents of the soft tissue and estimating the degree of inflammation and character of the regenerated tissue indirectly using artifacts such as acoustic shadowing and the enhanced transmission. It can also be useful to evaluate the possibility of aspiration of the calcifies masses by knowing of the contents of the water among them. Unlike the MRI it is useful to get real time informations with low cost in diagnosis and treatment of the soft tissue disease usinf artifacts in sonography.

Musculoskeletal sonography is rapidly developing due to the merits such as relatively low cost and possibility of dynamic study. Sonography can be helpful and easily introduced for the diagnosis of the foot and ankle disease. This review tried to clarify the cause and sonographic diagnosis of common foot and ankle diseases.

Ultrasound sonography(US) is used to evaluate various diseases of oral and maxillofacial region including salivary glands, soft tissue and jaw lesions because of easy accessibility and no hazard of ionizing radiation. Also, US can offer dynamic study showing real-time images during diagnostic or surgical procedure. US images provide accurate information about the internal features of lesions on the jaw prior to surgical treatment. Doppler images are used to visualize the vascular distribution of the lesions and to provide additional information to enhance diagnostic value. It is necessary to evaluate the diagnostic value of US and evaluate its usefulness by looking at clinical cases using US images. Therefore, US imaging may be recommended as an assistant image in evaluating jaw lesions. US images provided accurate information about the internal structure of lesions on the jaw prior to surgical treatment, and diagnostic value was enhanced by visualizing the vascular distribution of the lesion using doppler imaging. We report the protocol and suggest the effectiveness of US for various lesions and US-guided sialography.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report the clinical effect of Shihosogan-tang extract on NAFLD through ultrasound. Methods: The patient was treated with Shihosogan-tang extract. We observed the changes in symptoms and ultrasound imaging on a patient with NAFLD. Results: After treatment, the symptoms of the patient with NAFLD were decreased and ultrasound imaging were improved from moderate to mild grade. Conclusion: The patient of NAFLD was improved in symptoms and ultrasound imaging.

Pulmonary Sequestration is a rare congenital malformation during embryouic development which results in a cystic mass of nonfunctioning lung tissue. A diagnosis of a pulmonary sequestration has traditionally relied upon identifying the pathological arterial vessels by arteriography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. We reported a case of pulmonary sequestration diagnosed by Doppler sonography and subsequent CT angiography. A 21-year-old-woman admitted to hospital for an investigation of recurrent pneumonia with left lower chest pain. A doppler ultrasound sonography showed an aberrant blood supply from the descending thoracic aorta to the left lower chest lesion. The pulmonary sequestration was confirmed by the subsequent CT angiograph.

Traditionally the diagnosis and treatment of the diseases of the knee is based on the findings of the x-rays and the MRI. The x-rays provide good information of the changes of the internal structure of the bone. However, there is a limitation in providing information of the soft tissue and the cartilage. The MRI is one of the most expensive diagnostic modalities and it can not give us a dynamic and real time information. The sonography has a role in diagnosis and treatment of the soft tissue disease and surface of the bone. It gives us a real time dynamic information and it is really cheap. In this article the sonographic findings of the normal and pathologic conditions of the knee joint are introduced in relation to the findings of the x-rays and the MRI.

Purpose: To verify the sinificance of the hyperechoic cluster formation in medial meniscal tear on the sonography. Materials and Methods: The formation of hyperechoic cluster of the medial meniscus on the sonography were compared with the MRI and arthroscopic findings in 28 knees. Results: The cluster formation area coincided with the overlapped torn fragment of the meniscus in all cases. Conclusion: The hyperechoic cluster on the sonography reveals the position of the overlapped torn fragment.
