“…The diagnostic efficiency of color intensity visual analog scale (VAS) scores, a vascular index or a Doppler score seems comparable. Concordant with our findings, there is less observer variation in the distinction of Doppler flow patterns in trained hands than in inexperienced hands.…”

“…The addition of power Doppler (PD) has further increased the sensitivity and specificity of TVUS to diagnose endometrial polyps . However, few studies have described how to distinguish complex endometrial lesions in infertility using color Doppler . Furthermore, the prevalence of different endometrial pathologies in cases of infertility has not been fully documented.…”

Objective To assess three‐dimensional (3D) ultrasound combined with power Doppler (PD) for the differential diagnosis of endometrial lesions among infertile women. Methods A prospective study carried out at a reproductive medicine center in Luoyang, China, between January and December 2015. The inclusion criteria were asymptomatic infertility with normal endometrium or specific endometrial lesions. Participants were subdivided by whether they had normal endometrium (group 1, n=357), or endometrial lesions including polyps, hyperplasia, intrauterine adhesions, or endometritis (group 2, n=99). 3D PD and hysteroscopy were performed in the follicular phase. Endometrial thickness, volume, vascularization index (VI), flow index (FI), and vascularization flow index (VFI), and subendometrial VI, FI, and VFI were calculated. Endometrial lesions were confirmed by pathologic analysis. Results The overall prevalence of endometrial lesions was 99/456 (21.3%). Endometrial thickness and volume were significantly larger in group 2 than in group 1 (9.96 ± 3.24 vs 8.15 ± 2.50 mm and 3.70 ± 2.54 vs 2.42 ± 1.64 cm3, respectively; both P<0.001). Endometrial thickness and volume were larger among women with endometrial polyps and hyperplasia; endometrial VI, FI, and VFI were lower among women with intrauterine adhesions. Conclusion Three‐dimensional PD has value for the differential diagnosis of endometrial lesions among infertile women. Clinical trial registration The trial is registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry as ChiCTR1800015799.

“…It is able to detect subtle changes in the endometrium and it has been observed that endometrial thickness <4 mm is usually associated with normal morphology (5). In patients with thickened endometrium, a secondary test such as power Doppler could play a role in refining the diagnosis (6). Doppler velocimetric study of the uterine artery offers a simple, noninvasive and valuable method in screening women with postmenopausal bleeding.…”

Aim of the work: The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of transvaginal ultrasonography and colour Doppler in postmenopausal bleeding. Patients and methods: In the study fifty female patients with their age ranging between 45 and 80 years were subjected to transvaginal US examination and transvaginal colour and pulsed Doppler examination. Results: All the malignant cases and 94.7% of the benign cases had endometrial thickness P5 mm, however 90% of the control group with the remaining of the benign cases (5.2%) had endometrial thickness <5 mm. The mean uterine artery RI and PI were lower in cases with PMB than in control cases and in cases with malignant causes than benign causes. The mean spiral artery RI & PI were lower in cases with benign than in cases with malignant causes of PMB. Conclusion: In conclusion, transvaginal colour Doppler as a noninvasive method has a significant place in the diagnostic procedures for evaluation of PMB. Transvaginal colour Doppler can help in differentiating benign from malignant endometrial changes.
