BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Local hemodynamic information may help to stratify rupture risk of cerebral aneurysms. Patient-specific modeling of cerebral hemodynamics requires accurate data on BFV in perianeurysmal arteries as boundary conditions for CFD. The aim was to compare the BFV measured with PC-MR imaging with that obtained by using intra-arterial Doppler sonography and to determine interpati...

PURPOSE To compare blood flow velocity changes within the middle cerebral artery (MCA) during hyperventilation, as measured with by both transcranial Doppler sonography and MR imaging, with the diameter of the MCA as measured with MR imaging alone. METHODS The studies were performed in six healthy volunteers ranging in age from 22 to 31 years (mean, 27 years). Transcranial Doppler sonography ...

Oculoplethysmography-carotid phonoangiography and periorbital directional Doppler sonography are two techniques widely used in the noninvasive evaluation of possible carotid artery disease. Recent advances with sonographic Doppler devices now permit measurement of blood velocities in the extracranial carotid arteries by direct scanning with a color coded Doppler imaging system. A prospective st...

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the sonographic characteristics of the varices of pancreas in portal hypertension. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the sonographic findings, case records and other diagnostic procedures of 11 patients with clinical features of portal hypertension of different etiology, all having sonographical changes suggesting presence of the pancreatic va...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to prospectively investigate the role of high-resolution and color Doppler sonography in the differential diagnosis of acute scrotum and testicular torsion in particular. METHODS Patients who underwent sonography for acute scrotum between April 2000 and September 2005 were included in the study. Gray scale and color Doppler sonography of the scrotum was...

BACKGROUND Placenta adhesive disorder (PAD) is one of the most common causes of postpartum hemorrhage and peripartum hysterectomy. The main risk factors are placenta previa and prior uterine surgery such as cesarean section. Diagnosis of placenta adhesive disorders can lead to a decrease of maternal mortality and morbidities. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Optimal estimation of cerebral blood-flow volume (BFV) may be an important indicator for better evaluation of the patients with cerebrovascular disorders. In this study, we compared the BFV values at bilateral internal carotid and vertebral arteries of healthy volunteers obtained with color Doppler, power Doppler, and B-flow ultrasound (US) studies and tried to determine ...

Infertility is defined as the failure to conceive a desired pregnancy after 12 months of unprotected intercourse, and affects 10 percent of married couples. The causes of infertility can involve one or both partners. Causes of female infertility: • Fallopian tube factors (damage or blockage due to salpingitis, EP) • Ovulation disorders (PCOS ,Early menopause ) • Uterine factors • Intrauterine l...

Carotid body tumors typically arise at the level of the common carotid bifurcation where the carotid body exists. Superior and inferior extension beyond the carotid body may occur as well, especially if the tumor is long-standing. We herein describe a case of carotid body tumor in a patient who presented with a right-sided neck mass for 30 years. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) and B-mode...

OBJECTIVE The goal of this review article is to present the state of the art in the clinical applications and technical performance and interpretation of carotid sonographic examinations. METHODS Relevant publications regarding color and duplex Doppler sonography (CDDS) of the carotid arteries extracted from a computerized database (MEDLINE) and from references cited in these articles not app...
