ABSTRACT
This is a descriptive cross-sectional study of 54 cases with dysfunctional uterine bleeding done at the departments of Ob/Gyne and radiology during the period January 1999 to December 1999. The aim of the study -was to study the accuracy of using Doppler velocimetry study of the uterine and ovarian arteries in correlation to the histopathologic pattern of the endometrium in cases complaining of dysfunctional uterine bleeding in Suez Canal University Hospital. The results of this study indicated that the resistance index of both the uterine and ovarian arteries were significantly lower than normal in cases with dysfunctional uterine bleeding. The Doppler ultrasound can't differentiate between the different types of endometrial patterns in cases with dysfunctional uterine bleeding. The uterine and ovarian arteries flow velocity waveforms have high specificity in detecting the endometrial pattern in cases with dysfunctional uterine bleeding
