Editorial

Dear Colleagues,

Now you get a new Issue of Ultrasound International Open. As always you can find a mixture of different articles dealing with the main topic ultrasound.

Kai-Sven Heling

The first one is the most actual. In this article the authors compare the value of chest ultrasound with standard X-Ray Imaging in Covid-19 Patients. They found a high value of chest ultrasound. In detecting the pulmonary symptoms, the chest ultrasound was similar to standard X ray, but the ultrasound could detect also intestinal problems. Also, for describing lung consolidations and pleural line abnormalities chest ultrasound was very effective and comparable with standard x ray.

The second article is a case report about the sonographic diagnosis of middle cerebral artery occlusion, which is a rare diagnosis. There were impressive images in the report.

The third article is also a case report about the prenatal diagnosis of a rare case with a skeletal anomaly – fibula aplasia, tibial campomelia and oligosyndactyly – by using 2 D and 3 D ultrasound. These ultrasound images were also with an excellent quality.

The fourth article is a case report about a cystic lesion of the thumb, which was finally a cystic papillary adenocarcinoma.

The fifth and last article presents 2 cases of segmental testicular infarction and discussed based on the question whether a conservative management is possible.

So finally, I hope you enjoy these articles in this issue of Ultrasound International Open. Thank you to all authors and also to the reviewers for their work
