Abstract
To investigate any systematic differences in the analysis of blood flow velocity waveforms derived by color Doppler imaging and color Doppler energy examination of corpora lutea and adnexal tumors, to test whether the accuracy for diagnosing ovarian malignancy differs between end points derived by color Doppler imaging and color Doppler energy, and to compare the reproducibility of flow velocity waveform analysis obtained by both methods. Fifty-six asymptomatic women with presumed corpora lutea and 67 women with known adnexal masses were included in the study. They all were examined using transvaginal sonography with color Doppler imaging and color Doppler energy. Pulsed Doppler sonography was used to obtain flow velocity waveforms to determine the pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI), peak systolic velocity, and time-averaged maximum velocity. The tumors were classified retrospectively according to histologic criteria. There were 52 women with benign, three with borderline, and 12 with malignant ovarian tumors. Repeated-measures analysis of variance revealed no systematic differences in the values of all four measurements performed under color Doppler imaging and color Doppler energy for all cases of corpora lutea and...Continue Reading
