Doppler color flow imaging of carotid body tumors.

چکیده
Doppler color flow imaging is a new ultrasound method for the simultaneous spatial display of tissue and vessel morphology (B-mode echotomograms) and of color-coded blood flow velocity information (Doppler-mode analysis). This new method is particularly useful in the neck, not only for the assessment of brain arteries but also for the safe and valid identification of carotid paragangliomas compared with other neck tumors. Early clinical detection of carotid paragangliomas is difficult since these lesions often occur sporadically and the patients remain symptom-free until the tumor becomes noticeable. Doppler color flow imaging allows the diagnosis of even small paragangliomas, which may improve management because of existing complications of surgical therapy.

Transorbital color Doppler flow imaging of the carotid siphon and major arteries at the base of the brain.
PURPOSE To describe and evaluate an application of sonography, transorbital color Doppler flow imaging of the carotid siphon and major intracranial arteries, and to compare it with transtemporal color Doppler flow imaging. METHODS The carotid siphon and major arteries at the base of the brain of 50 healthy volunteers were screened using the transorbital color Doppler flow sonography. These ar...
متن کاملDuplex and color Doppler flow sonography of occlusion and near occlusion of the carotid artery.
PURPOSE To determine whether color Doppler flow imaging with the use of slow-flow sensitivity improves sensitivity and specificity in the differentiation of occlusion and near occlusion of the internal carotid artery. METHODS Color Doppler and duplex sonography were performed in symptomatic patients who had angiographically confirmed occlusion and/or near occlusion of the internal carotid art...
متن کاملPower Doppler scanning in the diagnosis of carotid body tumors.
The aim of this work was to show contribution of power Doppler imaging in the diagnosis of the carotid body tumors. Six patients with a nontender mass beneath the mandibular angle were evaluated with gray scale and power Doppler sonography. Well-defined, solid, weakly hyperechoic masses were noted on gray scale sonography in the carotid bifurcation. Power Doppler sonography showed abundant flow...

Carotid artery disease was assessed in 180 patients by means of color Doppler flow imaging. Color Doppler findings in 360 carotid arteries were compared with the results of standard Doppler sonography, and color Doppler findings in 60 bifurcations were compared with the results of intraarterial angiography. The sensitivity of color Doppler for the detection of carotid disease was 100% when comp...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Optimal estimation of cerebral blood-flow volume (BFV) may be an important indicator for better evaluation of the patients with cerebrovascular disorders. In this study, we compared the BFV values at bilateral internal carotid and vertebral arteries of healthy volunteers obtained with color Doppler, power Doppler, and B-flow ultrasound (US) studies and tried to determine ...
