The impact of indocyanine green on tumor visualization and procedural adjustment in minimally invasive liver surgery Open
Background Minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgery is performed increasingly either with robotic assistance or conventional laparoscopy. The lack of haptic feedback is one of the main challenges which has to be addressed during these proc…

Interobserver Agreement in Ultrasound Risk Stratification Systems for Thyroid Nodules on Static Images Versus Cine-Loop Video Sequences Open
Purpose: To evaluate the impact of video sequences (cine-loops) on the interobserver agreement (IOA) using risk stratification systems (RSSs) for thyroid nodules (TNs). Methods: Twenty TNs were randomly selected from a large database and e…

Standard operating procedure (SOP) for cervical ultrasound cine loop video sequences in the follow-up of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) Open
Rationale and objectives Cervical ultrasound (US) is crucial in the follow-up of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). However, there are no guidelines for its acquisition and documentation, particularly concerning the role of additional vi…

Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data Systems: Applicability of the “Taller than Wide” Criterium in Primary/Secondary Care Units and the Role of Thyroid Scintigraphy Open
Background: To examine the applicability of the “taller than wide” (ttw) criterium for risk assessment of thyroid nodules (TNs) in primary/secondary care units and the role of thyroid scintigraphy therein. Methods: German bicenter study pe…

Thyroid Nodule Detection and Region Estimation in Ultrasound Images: A Comparison between Physicians and an Automated Decision Support System Approach Open
Background: Thyroid nodules are very common. In most cases, they are benign, but they can be malignant in a low percentage of cases. The accurate assessment of these nodules is critical to choosing the next diagnostic steps and potential t…

Paradox inflammatory reaction such as appendicitis epiploica and diverticulitis of the sigmoid colon under ongoing immunosuppression after previous liver transplantation (LTx) Open
Objective Inflammatory reactions caused by immunosuppression appear a particular interesting disease due to its very specific and partly unclear etiopathogenesis. Based on clinical case-specific management experiences and selective referen…

Introducing a Pole Concept for Nodule Growth in the Thyroid Gland: Taller-than-Wide Shape, Frequency, Location and Risk of Malignancy of Thyroid Nodules in an Area with Iodine Deficiency Open
Purpose: (i) To examine the criterion taller-than-wide (TTW) for the sonographic assessment of thyroid nodules in areas of iodine deficiency in terms of frequency, anatomical distribution within the thyroid gland and risk of malignancy. (i…
