“…Unnecessary further investigation and (over-)treatment may result in a potentially injurious and expensive cascade of tests and procedures, depending on specific health care organization insurance systems, e.g., Beveridge Model, Bismarck Model, NH Insurance Model, Out-of-pocket payments, et cetera [ 7 , 222 , 223 , 224 , 232 , 233 , 234 ]. Furthermore, incidental findings may adversely affect individual future perspectives [ 235 ] and medical and life insurance status [ 2 , 222 ].…”

The World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (WFUMB) is addressing the issue of incidental findings (IFs) with a series of publications entitled “Incidental imaging findings—the role of ultrasound”. IFs in the liver of newborns and children are rare and much less commonly encountered than in adults; as a result, they are relatively much more frequently malignant and life-threatening, even when they are of benign histology. Conventional B-mode ultrasound is the well-established first line imaging modality for the assessment of liver pathology in pediatric patients. US technological advances, resulting in image quality improvement, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), liver elastography and quantification tools for steatosis have expanded the use of ultrasound technology in daily practice. The following overview is intended to illustrate incidentally detected liver pathology covering all pediatric ages. It aims to aid the examiner in establishing the final diagnosis. Management of incidentally detected focal liver lesions (FLL) needs to take into account the diagnostic accuracy of each imaging modality, the patient’s safety issues (including ionizing radiation and nephrotoxic contrast agents), the delay in diagnosis, the psychological burden on the patient and the cost for the healthcare system. Moreover, this paper should help the pediatric clinician and ultrasound practitioner to decide which pathologies need no further investigation, which ones require interval imaging and which cases require further and immediate diagnostic procedures.

The Incidence of Urolithiasis Among Commercial Aviation Pilots

et al. 2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A meaningful number of commercial aviation pilots are affected by urolithiasis each year. Our analysis detected a significant decrease in the proportion of affected pilots, although the reason for this trend is not well understood. It may be that changes in the occupational environment that could affect risk factors for stone formation are responsible. Further efforts to characterize stone risk in this unique population are welcome, given the larger vocational and societal consequences of a stone event in the setting of airline transport.

Abdominal Sonography in the Medical Evaluation of Aviation Aspirants

Abstract: Abdominal sonographic screening in young healthy asymptomatic aircrew may be a valuable extension of the initial medical evaluation. It is particularly important in the high-risk subgroup of military aviators for determining long-term career prospects.
