This technical note describes a color Doppler artifact related to microcoil architecture that might represent a potential pitfall in transcranial Doppler sonographic evaluation of aneurysmal cavity thrombosis, since it may be wrongly interpreted as resid...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy of Ultrasound in the diagnosis of Infantile Hypertrophic Pyloric stenosis, especially with simultaneous use of grey-scale & colour doppler examination of pylorus. METHODS Fifty two infants with suspected Infantile Hypertrophic Pyloric stenosis (IHPS) were evaluated with grey-scale and colour Doppler examination. The sonographic findings were categorized as p...
