  • Title: The effectiveness of spectral and color Doppler in predicting ovarian torsion. A prospective study.
    Author: Ben-Ami M, Perlitz Y, Haddad S.
    Journal: Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol; 2002 Aug 05; 104(1):64-6. PubMed ID: 12128265.
    Abstract:
    We evaluated the effectiveness of color and spectral Doppler examination of the ovarian vasculature flow, using transvaginal sonography (TVS) in 65 women prior to laparoscopy due to suspected ovarian torsion. There were 15 cases of ovarian torsion. In all of them, a pathology was detected by the color and spectral Doppler examination. Of the 50 patients without torsion at laparoscopy, one had abnormal Doppler studies. Color and spectral Doppler can demonstrate the presence or absence of arterial and venous flow in cases of suspected torsion of the ovary.
