Introduction The free and pedicled flap reconstruction for defects of the head neck demands a postoperative monitoring routine. This task is usually performed by visual examination flap, doppler sonography pinpricking. In case impaired perfusion surgical revision only way to prevent necrosis. Hyperspectral imaging non-invasive optical method that can be used tissue classification visualize oxyg...

OBJECTIVE To review the causes and sonographic appearance of pathologic processes that result in abdominal pain in the pediatric patient and to understand the use and limitations of abdominal sonography in the acute pediatric abdomen. METHODS A pictorial review of cases is presented. RESULTS Sonography in conjunction with color and pulsed Doppler imaging is a valuable tool in the evaluation...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We sought to identify the use of duplex and transcranial Doppler sonography in the noninvasive diagnosis of vertebral dissection. METHODS Ten patients with a diagnosis of symptomatic vertebral artery dissection confirmed by cerebral angiography were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS Computed tomographic scanning and magnetic resonance imaging together delineated later...

PURPOSE To compare the detection of urinary stones using standard gray scale ultrasound for diagnostic accuracy using the color Doppler "twinkling sign". MATERIALS AND METHODS Our study population consisted of forty-one patients who demonstrated at least one urinary stone on unenhanced CT evaluation of the kidneys or ureters. Each patient was evaluated using gray scale ultrasound and color Do...

Sonographic patterns for the Doppler ophthalmic test (DOT) were determined by reviewing the type of graphic record obtained from 25 patients who had undergone angiography. Three principal patterns were identified, depending upon whether there was augmentation (Type 1), diminution (Type 2) or no change (Type 3) in the character of the supraorbital Doppler signal upon temporal artery compression....

UNLABELLED The clinical course of patients with fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) is often worsened by the presence of cerebral edema and endocranial hypertension. In spite of the multiple studies using Transcranial Doppler Sonography (TCDS), few have shown the cerebral blood flow (CBF) pattern among patients with encephalopathy resulting from FHF. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to characterize th...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of puerperal uterine disease on uterine blood flow using trans-rectal Doppler sonography. Lactating Holstein Friesian cows (n=44) were divided into two groups based on whether they were healthy (UD-; n=23) or had uterine disease (UD+; n=21) defined as retained fetal membranes and/or metritis. General clinical examination, vaginoscopy, t...
