Ultrasound images of retrosternal goiter










Xray images show a large rounded opacity in the upper mediastinum.















































Ultrasound images of the thyroid show a huge gland, with inhomogenous appearance and calcification, extending to the retrosternal region. The thyroid measures more than 5 x 8 cms. These images by Mr. Shlomo Gobi of Israel were taken using the endocavity probe to better visualize the retrosternal extension of the thyroid goiter. Xray images show the goiter in the retrosternal region. You can view more such intersting ultrasound images of thyroid diseases at:

Interesting ultrasound images of the thyroid:

I have added some really nice sonographic images of the thyroid in my ultrasound image gallery.
See: http://www.ultrasound-images.com/thyroid.htm Among the cases (and ultrasound pictures) I have discussed here are: 1) multinodular goitre 2) Hashimoto's thyroiditis 3) thyrotoxicosis 4) hemithyroidectomy 5) sublingual thyroid. The last is a rare enitity and I have added 6 high res. images of this lesion.
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a common condition that afflicts a large percentage of the populace here in S. India.

Endometrial hyperplaisa in a child



























These ultrasound images of the uterus in a 12 yr. old female child with intermittent bleeding per vagina reveal- a) markedly thickened endometrium (3.3 cms). b) color doppler images reveal vascularity within the thickened endometrium. These images suggest endometrial hyperplasia (benign) in a child. The cause is presumably, increased oestrogen activity. Images courtesy of Dr. Richa Dikshit, India.

Fetus nibbling its own cord









The fetus is seen nibbling the umbilical cord in this 3D ultrasound image courtesy of Dr. Arun Mahajan, Delhi, India.

A few moments later the cord falls away.

Some interesting sonographic images:

There is a whole load of ultrasound images added to my site at:
http://www.ultrasound-images.com/ The site has been pepped up with a new look and easy to use interface. I have added a search box on the home page to sift through the contents of the site. I wanted to add a slide show option for the images but found it problematic. As before, all images are free to view.
1) At the page: http://www.ultrasound-images.com/fetus-general.htm is a case of IUFD with Spalding’s sign. Many books these days simply don’t have images of this sign.
2) At http://www.ultrasound-images.com/early-pregnancy.htm , there is nice case of bicornuate uterus with a gestation sac in one cornu.
3) At http://www.ultrasound-images.com/fetal-brain.htm : I have added a rare image of Vein of Galen aneurysm.
4) At: http://www.ultrasound-images.com/fetal-heart.htm : there are new cases of fetal cardiac anomalies including AVSD and pericardial mass. I hope to add some nice fetal echo videos to this section, but need a little help to edit mpg videos. Can somebody help me?
There are plenty more pictures but, I’ll tell you later.

Announcing my new ultrasound images website:

Hi all,
After having observed the runaway success of my older site (the ultrasound gallery) at: http://drjoea.googlepages.com/ I have now shifted the action to my new 200 GB capacity site at:
http://www.ultrasound-images.com/ The main features of the new web site is:
1) plenty of byte space.. you can expect loads of free high resolution sonographic images here, plus ultrasound videos when I get them.
2) More bandwidth for web access.
3) Faster download times
I have added a couple of cases already. See:
a) http://www.ultrasound-images.com/fetal-brain.htm where I discuss a fetal anomaly, Dandy-Walker malformation.
b) http://www.ultrasound-images.com/musculoskeletal.htm where I have a case of Medial Cruciate ligament injury.
Dr.Joe Antony, MD.
