Objectives. To investigate the detection rate of major fetal heart defects in a low-risk population implementing routine use of color Doppler. Material and Methods. In a prospective observational study, all women undergoing fetal heart scanning (including 6781 routine examinations in the second trimester) during a three-year period were included. First a gray-scale scanning was performed includ...

We report a case of a 50-year-old male who presented to the Emergency Department and was diagnosed with epididymo-orchitis. Sonographic evaluation of the testicle initially showed a normal, low resistance color Doppler waveform. The patient was admitted to the hospital. A follow up sonogram two days later demonstrated reversal of diastolic arterial flow on Pulse-Wave color Doppler imaging. Reve...

OBJECTIVE To assess the accuracy of vascular color Doppler ultrasound as compared with digital subtraction arteriography for identifying hemodynamically significant renal artery stenoses. METHODS One hundred and thirty-seven renal arteries from 69 adult patients suspected of having renovascular arterial hypertension were prospectively studied with ultrasound. The results obtained were compare...
