“…The sonographic differential diagnosis of thickened bowel wall has been challenged in detail and US often plays an important role [66][67][68][69][70][71]. In cases of long-standing disease, they can lead to complete circumferential loss of the typical gut wall layers which appears sonographically as a hypoechoic rim with abrogated stratification.…”

A consensus on the best imaging modality evaluating inflammatory bowel disease in the pediatric population is lacking and it is often unclear which modality to choose in specific clinical circumstances. Children with inflammatory bowel disease are exposed to ionizing radiation from multiple imaging studies performed at initial diagnosis, throughout treatment and during the follow-up period. This paper discusses the value of different imaging techniques in pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease and gives a review of the literature. In addition, particular features of inflammatory bowel disease in children including the predilection of affected segments in the gastrointestinal tract are highlighted. Based on current literature knowledge, we encourage an integrative approach to the interpretation of clinical and imaging data for diagnosis and follow-up in daily clinical settings.

“…Im klinischen Alltag werden dennoch häufig Patienten mit multiplem Myelom zur Sonografie vorstellig. Neben der Frage nach extramedulären Manifestationen des Myeloms oder Amyloidablagerungen [65] spielt die Organsonografie der durch Hyperkalzämie und Leichtkettenablagerung geschädigten Nieren eine Rolle [66,67]. Zur Dignitätsbeurteilung von ossären oder extraossären Tumorformationen (Plasmozytomen oder Myelomherden) oder Amyloidanlagerungen wird die ultraschallgesteuerte Stanzbiopsie gezielt eingesetzt.…”

At the time of primary diagnosis, hematological diseases often present with unspecific symptoms, and abdominal sonography is performed as part of the initial diagnostic work-up. The detection of an enlarged spleen, of pathological lymph nodes or of other findings may help to suspect hematological diseases. Also, in case of suspected lymph node enlargement, sonography may be a first step. If detection of enlarged and pathological lymph nodes leads to suspicion of malignant lymphomas, examination of further lymph node stations may give an initial impression of the stage of disease and can help in planning further diagnostic strategies. Due to its wide availability, the feasibility of bedside examination, lack of radiation exposure and easy repeatability, sonographic examinations may also play an important role in the initial work-up of anemia, leucopenia, leukocytosis, and thrombopenia as well as for the detection of complications when following up on hematological diseases.

“…Hepatic amyloidosis can be primary or secondary and it typically occurs as diffuse infiltration of the liver. The only study on sonographic signs in amyloidosis investigated a group of 30 patients with different forms of amyloidosis [58]. Typical sonographic signs in the liver were spontaneous, initially echo-poor ( • " Fig.…”

Ultrasound in Rare Diffuse Liver Disease

Ultrasound is often the first imaging procedure performed in the evaluation of individuals with suspected or known liver disease. Despite technical advances in ultrasound techniques, sonographic detection and evaluation of diffuse liver disease still remains difficult. This is due to the fact that diffuse liver disease does not always cause distortion of the liver parenchymal texture, internal liver architecture, or shape of the liver. On the other hand, the size of the liver, the echo pattern of the hepatic parenchyma, the analysis of intrahepatic vessels and alterations in perihepatic structures and lymph nodes can be helpful sonographic parameters of diffuse liver disease. Until now, the sonographic appearance of some rare diffuse liver diseases is not well known. However, there are some typical sonomorphological signs that, once identified, can facilitate the differentiation between various diseases. The aim of this paper is to highlight some typical ultrasound findings of liver parenchyma and perihepatic lymph node structures in rare diffuse liver diseases based on a review of published data.
