results color doppler usg had a sensitivity of 95% and specificity of 98% in diagnosis of arterial injury. positive and negative predictive values of doppler usg were 92.5% and 94.2%, respectively. conclusions color doppler usg can be used as a reliable modality with acceptable sensitivity and specificity values to screen hemodynamically stable patients with limb trauma suspicious for arterial ...

OBJECTIVE Patent perforators, noninvasively imaged by transthoracic color-Doppler echocardiography, may reflect adequate reperfusion in anterior myocardial infarction (MI). BACKGROUND The Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) classification may not fully reflect adequate myocardial reperfusion in MI.
