چکیده
The use of Doppler ultrasound in rheumatology has grown in recent years. This is partly due to the increasing number of rheumatologists who perform US in their daily clinical practise and also to the technological advances of US systems. Both colour Doppler and power Doppler are used to evaluate the degree of intra- and peri-articular soft tissue inflammation. Moreover, Doppler US has been found to be of help in the assessment of vascular pathologies such as the vasculitides. In this review we provide an update of the data regarding the use of colour Doppler and power Doppler in rheumatology.

Background In patients with abnormal uterine bleeding, transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) is the first-line diagnostic approach to exclude endometrial pathology. If a thickened endometrium suggests endometrial pathology, sonohysterography, office hysteroscopy or dilatation and curettage are the second-line tests preferred, depending on availability and on the suspected pathology, to exclude malignan...
متن کاملThe difference between Colour Doppler Velocity Imaging and Power Doppler Imaging.
The Doppler effect, which occurs on the reflection of ultrasound from moving blood or tissue, is observed as a shift in frequency of the reflected ultrasound from that of the incident ultrasound. This Doppler shift has been widely used in clinical practice as a means of measuring blood velocity. Two types of Doppler Imaging are often discussed as facilities on ultrasonic scanners, namely Colour...
