While there has been wide general acceptance of Doppler methods that use the simplified Bernoulii relationship to estimate pressure gradients across stenotic orifices, there is still ongoing controversy related to potential sources of error in the method. In this study we tested accuracy o ultrasound Doppler measurements of flow velocity when compared with the gold standard of laser light Doppl...

background: carpal tunnel syndrome (ctu) is the most common neuropathy in the body and one of the most important causes of occupational disability. the aim of the present study was to compare the diagnostic power of doppler sonography and gray scale in diagnosing cts and their comparison with nerve conduction studies (ncv). methods: in this analytical study, diagnostic value of doppler and gray...

Conventionally, tumour vascularity is assessed invasively by immunofluorescent analysis. Quantified contrast-enhanced power Doppler ultrasound has been used to measure tumour angiogenesis non-invasively in humans and experimental animals. The purpose of this study was to correlate quantified contrast-enhanced power Doppler ultrasound with immunofluorescent results in 45 spontaneous canine tumou...

In this prospective study, duplex Doppler ultrasound was used in 95 consecutive patients with solid breast masses to evaluate the presence of neovascular flow. A positive Doppler signal, i.e., a Doppler shift frequency of more than 1 kHz using a 5 MHz insonating frequency, was found in 34 of 57 patients with a carcinoma, and also in three patients with a benign condition. These results indicate...

OBJECTIVE To study the role of uterine artery notch on color Doppler ultrasound and roll over test in prediction of PIH. METHODS 100 women with high risk pregnancies were studied for presence or absence of uterine artery diastolic notch by Doppler ultrasound at 16-28 weeks. Same women were then subjected to roll over test at 28-32 weeks. RESULTS The primary outcome was that uterine diastoli...

background and aims. although salivary gland tumors are not very common, early diagnosis and treatment is crucial because of their proximity to vital organs, and therefore, determining the efficacy of new imaging procedures becomes important. this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and color doppler ultrasonography parameters in the diagnosis and differenti...

Background. Long-term graft patency is the major factor impacting survival after coronary artery bypass grafting. Arteries are superior in this regard. Radial artery is considered the second best conduit after internal mammary artery. Several studies have shown excellent radial artery patency. We evaluated the morphologic characteristics of radial artery by three modalities, (i) preoperative Do...

Measurements of the transverse Doppler effect have provided important confirmatory evidence for the validity of Einstein’s theory of special relativity (SR) as it pertains to time dilation. However, these investigations fall into two distinct categories depending on whether the light source or the detector is accelerated relative to the rest frame of the observer. In their original work employi...

Doppler ultrasound scanning is a special ultrasound technique that evaluates blood as it flows through a blood vessel. It is an important technique for non-invasively measuring the velocities of moving particles within the body. A Doppler ultrasound test uses reflected sound waves to evaluate blood as it flows through a blood vessel. Due to the pulsatile blood flow in arteries and the random po...
