Processing methods for photoacoustic Doppler flowmetry with a clinical ultrasound scanner [PDF]
Photoacoustic flowmetry (PAF) based on time-domain cross correlation of photoacoustic signals is a promising technique for deep tissue measurement of blood flow velocity. Signal processing has previously been developed for single element transducers. Here, the processing methods for acoustic resolution PAF using a clinical ultrasound transducer array ...

Diagnosis of venous incompetence inerectile dysfunction [PDF]
In 26 of 214 patients with erectile dysfunction and proved venous incompetence by cavernosography, an additional bidirectional Doppler ultrasound was performed also to demonstrate venous outflow disturbances. All except one leakage in the superficial and

Background: The discrimination of pleural thickening from minimal pleural effusion may be difficult as both lesions appear as anechoic on grayscale ultrasound, hence, free of “echoes” does not confirm the presence of pleural fluid.

Venous occlusion plethysmography vs. Doppler ultrasound in the assessment of leg blood flow kinetics during different intensities of calf exercise [PDF]
PurposeIt has recently been shown that venous occlusion plethysmography (VOP) can successfully assess the rate of increase in leg blood flow (LBF) (LBF kinetics) responses during calf exercise, but there is lack of data supporting its validity ...

Multicenter Prospective Study of Color Doppler Ultrasound for Breast Masses: Utility of Our Color Doppler Method [PDF]
The use of color Doppler ultrasound (CD) for distinguishing between benign and malignant breast lesions remains controversial. This study (JABTS BC-04 study) was aimed at confirming the usefulness of our CD diagnostic criteria. We evaluated ultrasound images of 1408 solid breast masses from 16 institutions in Japan (malignant: 839, benign: 569 ...

Systematic review and meta-analysis of the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography for deep vein thrombosis [PDF]
Background Ultrasound (US) has largely replaced contrast venography as the definitive diagnostic test for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). We aimed to derive a definitive estimate of the diagnostic accuracy of US for clinically suspected DVT and identify ...
