$50,000 Available for Assessing Point-of-Care Ultrasound Applications

The AIUM’s Endowment for Education and Research (EER) has issued a request for applications (RFA) for studies to assess competency in point-of-care ultrasound applications, defined as ultrasound imaging for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes performed on the patient by a provider in real time as a component of a care episode. The EER has allocated up to $50,000 for 1 or more grants. The submission deadline is March 1, 2012. More detailed information is available on the AIUM website.

Thank you

DR .David N Jackson

DR. Diana McCormick Strickland   for the nice discussion

In this normal 3 vessel view image, lined up alongside and to the left of the transverse aortic arch are the SVC, then the trachea (seen just as it has bifurcated), and then the esophagus. In a right-sided aortic arch, the transverse arch would course to the right side of the trachea as Dr. Jackson has stated. I included this image because these structures can be seen so clearly. I certainly wish I had an image that demonstrated these structures in a right-sided arch as noticeably.

Ultrasound of the upper fetal thorax will show that the aortic arch does not cross the midline, but remains on the right side of the trachea. An excellent series with images is presented by Zidere et al:  Right aortic arch in the fetus.  Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol  2006; 28: 876–881 They found the avg age of diagnosis was 21 weeks and the detection was as early as 12 weeks. Like most subtle findings, the detection rate improved as they made a strong commitment to find the fetus’s with right sided arch.

How to make a diagnosis of Right sided aortic arch in 20 weeks of gestation ?

The "shield" view is another term that has been used for this plane of image rendering.

The "in-plane" view is looking at the entire interventricular septum usually viewed from the right ventricle, also referred to as en face. If performing 3D/4D STIC, you can manipulate the initial image of acquisition to take a slice of the interventricular septum by various methods specific to each vendor and isolate the interventricular septum to evaluate for VSDs. I will forward an article that demonstrates this view later. There is a very nice article entitled The 'in-plane' view of the inter-ventricular septum. A new approach to the characterization of ventricular septal defects in the fetus. Prenat Diagn. 2006 Jan;26(1):90-1; PMID: 16378315

What is meaning of "in-plane view"?

Thanks
