OBJECTIVES To evaluate the usefulness of power Doppler vocal fremitus (PDVF) breast sonography for differentiation of hamartomas from other breast (malign or benign) masses. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two hundred and six breast masses in 180 women were evaluated. The breast lesions were scanned first by mammography (MG), then by ultrasonography (US) with PDVF imaging. Finally, biopsy was performed ...

There is little information available on methods to estimate fetal age of hair sheep. The objective of this study was to determine whether crown-rump length (CRL) and/or fetal heart rate (FHR) could be used to predict fetal age in hair sheep using transrectal B-mode and Doppler ultrasonography. St Croix White, Barbados Blackbelly and Dorper X St. Croix White ewes (n = 54) were scanned weekly be...

This study compared sensitivity and specificity of multidetector-row computed tomography and duplex Doppler ultrasonography in detecting atherosclerotic carotid plaques complicated with intraplaque hemorrhage. Carotid plaques from 50 patients operated for carotid artery stenosis were analyzed. Carotid endarterectomy was performed within one week of diagnostic evaluation. Results of multidetecto...
