Ultrasonographic evaluation of scrotum using grey scale and doppler

Ultrasound Grey scale in conjunction with color and spectral Doppler considered as the imaging modality of choice in scrotal disorders including scrotal masses, acute scrotal pain, and male infertility. To review the role of sonography in various scrotal conditions. A pictorial review of cases shows various scrotal disorders with typical sonographic features. Ultrasonography in addition with color and pulsed Doppler remains imaging modality of choice in the evaluation of scrotal disorders because of its simplicity, relative cheapness and quickness. Ultrasonography is more valuable in the evaluation of the acute scrotum to differentiate surgical emergency conditions like torsion. Recent technological advances in Ultrasonography particularly spatial and low-contrast resolution have improved the ability to detect and diagnose the scrotal conditions more accurately. This study reviews the use of grey scale Ultrasonography with color Doppler in the evaluation of acute scrotal pain, scrotal masses, male infertility, and trauma. High resolution Ultrasonography in conjunction with Color Doppler gives high degree of accuracy in detecting, characterizing and better understanding of scrotal conditions. It still remains important undisputed modality of choice in acute scrotal conditions

Doppler ultrasound study of umbilical artery and middle cerebral arteries in pregnancies complicated by pregnancy induced hypertension [PIH] and/or intrauterine growth restriction [IUGR]

To evaluate the role of Umbilical artery's and Middle Cerebral Artery's Doppler indices as predictors of abnormal perinatal outcome. This study was conducted in Department of Radiology, GMC Hospital, Ajman. Ongoing Study was conducted for a period of 6 Months and included 15 subjects till now. In our method we have shown that among Middle Cerebral Artery MCA PI and Umbilical Artery UA PI pulsatility index [PI], "UAPI has the highest sensitivity and specificity. Of all the indices cerebroplacental Ratio [MCA/UA PI ratio] has more sensitivity and accuracy than others. In conclusion among Umbilical Artery UA and Middle Cerebral Artery MCA PI, UA PI has the peak Sensitivity. Of all the indices Cerebro Placental Ratio has the Highest Diagnostic accuracy. Cautious interpretation of these results in compromised pregnancies can help the clinician to intervene at the right time and thus reduce perinatal mortality and morbidity
