All cases were confirmed by clinical, laboratory tests or pathology. CDFI of Graves' disease showed diffuse or localized hypoechoes within the thyroid glands, rich flow signals in the hypoechoes, accelerated flow velocity, and decreased resistance in the superior thyroid arteries(STA) and arteries within the glands. These appearances were characteristic as compared with the controls. The rate of flow in STA of Graves' disease patients was 8 to 10 times higher than that in the normal volunteers. This study demonstrates that CDFI is convenient and efficient as compared with isotope scan and some other laboratory tests, and can be widely used in the diagnosis of Graves' disase.展开更多

Methods:A retrospective analysis of 64 IDP cases was done, the pathology proven by surgery with 89 lesions. According to the ultrasonic performance, the lesions were divided into different types and the solid focal were evaluated according to the classification BI-RADS-US standard. Results:There were 47 patients corresponds with the 64 cases of surgical pathology, the accuracy was 73.4%, according to the ultrasonic performance could be divided into two types, named catheter type and solid type, catheter diagnostic accuracy was 22/25 (88%), compared the morphological features of the solid type, grouped according to their size (≥ 2 cm or < 2 cm lesions), discovered there was no statistically significant difference between the benign and malignant lesions by BI-RADS-US grading standard. Conclusion:Two-dimensional ultrasound and Color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) can make a definite diagnosis and positioning for IDP, but there are still some limitations to differentiate the benign and malignant, it need to pay more attention to the clinical application of substantive IDP and improve the understanding, provide more relevant information for clinic, the focal will be earlier treated to reduce the possibility of malignant happened change.展开更多

To evaluate the diagnostic criteria for the localization of acquired arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) by color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) based on the features of their hemodynamic changes. Methods. The shape and hemodynamic changes of involved vessels which could be helpful to localize the sites of fistulas were studied according to the observation of 10 cases of acquired AVFs. Results. The sites of the fistulas could be shown by two dimensional ultrasonography and color flow imaging in 40%and 80%cases, respectively. In all cases, turbulent high velocity flow was present at the sites of the fistulas, low resistant flow was present in the arteries proximal to the fistulas, and artery like flow was detected in the veins. Conclusion. CDFI was accurate for the localization of acquired AVFs, which were mainly localized by their hemodynamic changes shown by pulse Doppler ultrasound.展开更多
