Another week has passed, by so here comes my (from now on hopefully) weekly digest of educational, ultrasound media tweets.

UTI, cystitis? — not exactly…

“Pustalsis” is definitely not a word you can find in medical dictionaries.

Assessing the IVC diameter can lead to some surprises.

Fatal aortic aneurysm rupture.

Appendicitis

Hepatisation of the lung during pneumonia is a pathology term, but here it is nicely demonstrated using US.

Finally a case of my own, venous insufficiency in the popliteal vein during Valsalva maneuver (not strictly a POCUS question I admit).

With this we came to the end of our weekly digest of ultrasound tweets. Stay tuned for the next one!
