Tumor vascularity is an important indicator for differential diagnosis, tumor growth, and prognosis. Superb micro-vascular imaging (SMI) is an innovative ultrasound technique for vascular examination that uses a multidimensional filter to eliminate clutter and preserve extremely low-velocity flows. Theoretically, SMI could depict more vessels and more detailed vascular morphology, due to the in...

We present a case of an 18-year-old woman with recurrent bilateral giant fibroadenomas that were evaluated by mammography and sonography with color Doppler. Imaging revealed solid lobulated masses with significant internal vascularity occupying most of each breast; this evaluation suggested a differential diagnosis of giant fibroadenoma versus phyllodes tumor. The unusual clinical story of recu...

F Case 1 is a 20 year old woman, with known amblyopia o the left eye, who developped a massive intraocular hemorrhage leading to refractMy glaucoma, necessitating enucleation. Case 2 concerns a 68 year old woman also presenting a sevex intravitreal hem&age associated with a history of progressive visual loss over the past weeks. Repeated ultrasound examinations in case 1 showed a macular “staph...

Objective: This prospective study was undertaken to assess the sensitivity and specificity of color flow mapping and pulse Doppler waveform in identifying malignancy preoperatively in adnexal masses in perimenopausal women. Materials and methods: A total of 100 cases with adnexal masses in perimenopausal women were scanned, underwent color flow mapping and pulsed Doppler waveform studies. These...

OBJECTIVE To study the role of uterine artery notch on color Doppler ultrasound and roll over test in prediction of PIH. METHODS 100 women with high risk pregnancies were studied for presence or absence of uterine artery diastolic notch by Doppler ultrasound at 16-28 weeks. Same women were then subjected to roll over test at 28-32 weeks. RESULTS The primary outcome was that uterine diastoli...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The correct detection and quantification of carotid artery disease are of decisive impact on patient prognosis and adequate treatment. In this study, we evaluated the ability of ultrasonography to detect and to grade carotid artery stenosis through a comparison of the in vivo ultrasound findings with the planimetric analysis of the corresponding postmortem specimens. ME...

Since the introduction of medical ultrasound in the 1950s, modern diagnostic ultrasound has progressed to see many major diagnostic tools come into widespread clinical use, such as B-mode imaging, color-flow imaging, and spectral Doppler. New applications, such as panoramic imaging, three-dimensional imaging, and quantitative imaging, are now beginning to be offered on some commercial ultrasoun...
