conclusion gray scale sonography in combination with doppler sonography could be a trustworthy technique in differentiating metastatic lymph nodes from reactive ones. although, circulation pattern had a higher diagnostic accuracy in the present study, combination of sonographic characteristics could be more beneficial in differentiating metastatic cervical nodes from reactive ones. results the ...

background: there is a fundamental correlation between follicles and endometrium in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi) cycles. objective: to assess the relation between perifollicular perfusion and sub endometrial parameters in doppler ultrasonography and outcome of in icsi cycles. materials and methods: in this prospective deh1ive pilot study 10 patients were enrolled. strict inclusion cr...

the goal of this study was to define the normal range of diameter in the deep vein of the lower limb and to compare this range with diameter of the veins with acute thrombosis and of veins with chronic thrombosis by using color doppler sonography. the study was cross sectional. the vein diameter and vein to artery ratio in different levels were measured and the following results were obtained. ...

Intra-arterial Doppler sonography may complement arteriography by providing immediate physiological evidence of hemodynamic adequacy and by obviating unnecessary angioplastic dilation. We used a Doppler-tipped guidewire in 16 patients and obtained velocity measurements at the site of stenosis immediately before and after carotid artery stenting (CAS) in 10 patients. Intra-arterial Doppler sonog...

Background: Diagnostic ultrasound has been used to detect human disease especially fetus abnormalities in recent decades. Although the harmful effects of diagnostic ultrasound on human have not been established so far, several researchers showed it has had bioeffects in cell lines and in experimental animals. Three-dimensional (3D), four-dimensional (4D), and color Doppler sonography are new te...

Synovial vascularization in metacarpophalangeal joints of a patient with rheumatoid arthritis treated with leukocytapheresis (LCAP) was evaluated by Doppler sonography. After the treatment with LCAP, evaluation with American College of Rheumatology core set showed improvement, and the levels of C-reactive protein and serum amyloid A protein decreased. Power Doppler sonography demonstrated a red...

background: we conducted our study on 1110 patients with breast masses in order to investigate different aspects of power doppler sonography (pds) for differentiating between benign and malignant breast lesions and their prognostication. materials and methods: this study was conducted on the women who were referred to the sonography units of university hospitals for breast sonography and had a ...

AIM To investigate the potential usefulness of contrast-enhanced three-dimensional (3D) power Doppler sonography in the differentiation of benign and malignant adnexal lesions. METHODS Thirty one patients with complex adnexal lesions of uncertain malignancy at transvaginal B-mode and/or color Doppler sonography were prospectively evaluated with three-dimensional power Doppler sonography befor...

Doppler sonographic criteria for assessing peripheral lymph nodes ! Introduction B-mode criteria provide the foundation for the sonographic identification of peripheral lymph nodes as normal or pathological and for differential diagnosis. “Sonography of Peripheral Lymph Nodes Part 1: Normal Findings and B-Image Criteria” therefore provides a comprehensive description of the sonographic appearan...
