20 Doppler Ultrasound in Gynecology
The potential of Doppler ultrasound examination of
the female pelvis has been greatly expanded since the
introduction of color Doppler, as it is now possible
simultaneously to display the anatomical structures in
B-mode and blood flow in color. Ultrasound probes
that include pulsed Doppler or color Doppler to display
the microcirculation have been available to practitioners for more than a decade. Now that measurement of blood perfusion, though still debated critically,
has become established in obstetrics relatively rapidly,
this chapter will attempt to present the current status
of Doppler ultrasound in gynecology.
In the course of the menstrual cycle marked changes
occur in the female sex organs, including the breast
and in the internal genital region.
Distinct perfusion changes can also be recorded as
part of the physiological maturation and aging of the
female genital organs from the beginning of puberty
into old age.
Finally, distinct perfusion changes are found in the
organs in the course of a number of benign inflammatory conditions and during the development of
malignant tumors.
These considerations clearly show that the early detection of neoplasms and the assessment of the significance of undefined adnexal findings can be improved
considerably by evaluating organ perfusion, adding
color-coded Doppler ultrasound to the purely morphological descriptions of structural changes used previously. For instance, the differential diagnosis of pelvic varices, which previously was difficult, can be facilitated considerably by the use of color Doppler (
20.1, 20.2).
