Study of Doppler scan parameters for ovarian masses

Mamta Goyal

Abstract :

 Ovarian mass represents a common problem in clinical practice. Colour Doppler imaging with pulsed Doppler spectral analysis improves the characterization of ovarian masses by means of blood flow measurements obtained from tumour vessels. Total 150 patients were included in the study. Parameters taken in Colour Doppler were flow study, vessel arrangement, and vessel morphology and vessel location. Parameters considered in spectral Doppler were resistive index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI). Only 114 (76%) ovarian masses showed colour flow Out of total patients 52% belong to reproductive age group. Out of 114 ovarian masses 44.7% have normal flow, vessel morphology was noted normal in 65.8% and abnormal in 34.2% cases and vessel arrangement was seen regular in 63.2% while random in 36.8% ovarian masses. ovarian masses with RI ≤ .40 was recorded in 34.2% while PI ≤ 1.0 was recorded in 76.3% cases.
