Objective- The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of performing echocardiography in apparently healthy pigeons, and measurement of the quantitative cardiac indices using B-mode and Doppler techniques. Design- Experimental study Animals- Ten apparently healthy pigeons Procedures- Echocardi...

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...

Doppler color flow imaging is a new ultrasound method for the simultaneous spatial display of tissue and vessel morphology (B-mode echotomograms) and of color-coded blood flow velocity information (Doppler-mode analysis). This new method is particularly useful in the neck, not only for the assessment of brain arteries but also for the safe and valid identification of carotid paragangliomas comp...

t a fi d T t p n r r l fi w N of Diagnostic and Interventional Imaging, to an emerging technique: ultrasound elastography. This issue provides the readers with information necessary to understand this new modality on the eve of its clinical expansion. Analogies with the development of pulsed wave and color Doppler modes are important, especially for techniques providing two-dimensional color-co...

BACKGROUND: Determining the clinical significance of cardiac murmurs is widely considered in equine practice. Pulmonary murmurs are commonly detected in athletic horses. Echocardiography plays a leading role in assessment of these murmurs. OBJECTIVES: Echocardiographic evaluation of horses with pulmonary regurgitation and determining the importance of pulmonary valve murmurs. METHODS: A total n...

OBJECTIVES Our purpose was to investigate cervical lymphadenopathies by using color Doppler spectral analysis and power Doppler ultrasonography methods as well as B-mode ultrasound and to classify them as malignant or benign lesions and to compare the results with the histopathological findings. PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixty-nine lymph nodes of 69 patients were evaluated with color and power Dop...

Background The inflow propagation velocity (Vprop) of the early filling wave has been proposed as an accurate marker of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function [1]. Traditionally, Color M-mode echo Doppler is used for Vprop-assessment. However, this method has not been validated against an alternative modality such as velocity-encoded (VE) MRI for assessing Vprop. The purpose of this study was...

BACKGROUND Color M-mode Doppler echocardiography has been suggested as a new noninvasive technique for assessing left ventricular diastolic function. The present study investigated intraventricular filling pattern by color M-mode Doppler in patients during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). In a dog model of myocardial ischemia, the color M-mode flow pattern was related to i...

A26-year-old woman presented at 33 weeks of gestation with a singleton fetus with tachycardia. A complete fetal echocardiogram revealed a structurally normal fetal heart without signs of hydrops. The fetal heart rate was between 200 and 220 bpm. Evaluation of the rhythm with pulsed Doppler and M-mode scanning was not definitive. Fetal Doppler tissue imaging color M-mode scanning was performed b...
