Point‐of‐Care Ultrasound M‐Mode Analysis Using M.mode.ify

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives M‐mode ultrasound provides high temporal resolution imaging by rendering a single scan line over time, enabling precise measurement of rapidly moving structures. Traditional M‐mode is limited to real‐time acquisition and cannot be applied retrospectively. M.mode.ify is a novel software tool that generates M‐mode‐like tracings from video data,

Understanding the Concept of Self‐Performed Ultrasound: A Scoping Review

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Self‐performed ultrasound is an emerging technology that facilitates adept self‐scans in untrained hands. Inspired by self‐performed imaging in space for more prompt diagnosis and therapy, it has the potential to accurately monitor chronic conditions remotely. However, the lack of supervision and physical restraints can hinder its usability.

POCUS in Intensive Care Nephrology

POCUS Journal, 2022
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a significant problem for patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), both due to the high incidence and associated mortality with rates of AKI requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) of over 5%, and mortality rates with AKI of over 60% [1,2].

Image Quality of Handheld Ultrasound Devices for Lung Ultrasound in Adult Patients with Pneumonia

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives Handheld ultrasound devices (HHUDs) have increased accessibility and convenience of ultrasonography, but also raised concern regarding image quality and sufficiency for clinical use. This explorative study aims to compare image quality between 3 commercially available HHUDs in patients with pneumonia, and to compare expert agreement on image

Lung Ultrasound Practice in Australian and New Zealand Neonatal Intensive Care Units—A Survey

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Lung ultrasound (LUS) is increasingly used in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) as a bedside, radiation‐free imaging tool for assessing respiratory conditions. Despite its advantages, data on current LUS practices in Australasian NICUs are limited. This study aimed to evaluate LUS use across NICUs in both countries.
