The role of Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) and focused echocardiography in optimization of non-invasive mechanical ventilation: from diaphragmatic functionality to hemodynamic monitoring

Journal of Mechanical Ventilation, 2023
This case shows the use of ultrasound guidance to optimize non-invasive mechanical ventilation for a 62-year-old patient with a complex medical history. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) was used to assess diaphragmatic function and hemodynamics, leading ...

PrehospitaL Ultrasound in Undifferentiated DyspnEa (PreLUDE): a prospective, clinical, observational study

Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2023
Background Diagnostic uncertainty in patients with dyspnea is associated with worse outcomes. We hypothesized that prehospital point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can improve diagnostic accuracy.

The use of point-of-care ultrasound in Tshwane public and private sector emergency units

South African Family Practice, 2023
Background: The use of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is an essential skill in the practice of emergency medicine (EM), with benefit to patient care by improving diagnostic accuracy. Despite this, there exists little data evaluating the use of POCUS in

POCOVID-Net: Automatic Detection of COVID-19 From a New Lung Ultrasound Imaging Dataset (POCUS) [PDF]

ISMB TransMed COSI 2020, 2020
With the rapid development of COVID-19 into a global pandemic, there is an ever more urgent need for cheap, fast and reliable tools that can assist physicians in diagnosing COVID-19. Medical imaging such as CT can take a key role in complementing conventional diagnostic tools from molecular biology, and, using deep learning techniques, several ...

Towards Non-contact 3D Ultrasound for Wrist Imaging [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Objective: The objective of this work is an attempt towards non-contact freehand 3D ultrasound imaging with minimal complexity added to the existing point of care ultrasound (POCUS) systems. Methods: This study proposes a novel approach of using a mechanical track for non-contact ultrasound (US) scanning. The approach thus restricts the probe motion to

Facilitators, barriers, and changes in POCUS use: longitudinal follow-up after participation in a national point-of-care ultrasound training course in Japan

The Ultrasound Journal
Background POCUS training courses are effective at improving knowledge and skills, but few studies have followed learners longitudinally post-course to understand facilitators, barriers, and changes in POCUS use in clinical practice.

Systematic Review of 3D‐Printed Ultrasound‐able Models in Graduate Medical Education

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, Volume 44, Issue 4, Page 595-603, April 2025.
This systematic review aimed to identify studies that have created ultrasound‐able models for resident procedural training by means of 3D‐printing techniques and examine their tissue specific properties. There were 456 articles identified from 3 databases, of which, 35 studies were assessed for eligibility, and 11 total studies were included.

Accuracy of Non‐Invasive Imaging Techniques for the Diagnosis of MASH in Patients With MASLD: A Systematic Review

Liver International, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a growing public health problem. The secondary stage in MASLD is steatohepatitis (MASH), the co‐existence of steatosis and inflammation, a leading cause of progression to fibrosis and mortality. MASH resolution alone improves survival.
