Method: A sample size of 40 kidney allograft recipients undergoing color Doppler Ultrasonography evaluation included in the study. Result: Corticomeduallry differentiation of kidney allografts within 24 hours post transplant period: There was no significant difference between CMD of kidney allorgrafts with complication and kidney allografts without any complication within 24 hour because the standard deviations of both groups were 0. Corticomeduallry differentiation in all kidney allografts, all were shows maintained corticomedullary differentiation. Conclusion: This study is aimed to assessing the role of CDUS in kidney allograft recipients to evaluate the graft perfusion immediate after anastamosis, within 24 hours and follow up period after engraftment of kidney allograft. Analyse the Color Doppler Ultrasound (CDUS) indices changes in parenchymal, and vascular cause of allograft dysfunction at follow up periods, to evaluate the uroloical, surgical and vascular complications in kidney recipients by using gray scale and color Doppler US at follow up periods and compare the results with biochemical parameter (serum creatinine). Immediate Doppler ultrasound is highly useful in the diagnosis of primary graft dysfunction and in follow-up of the transplanted patient.

Purpose To retrospectively evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of endovenous laser ablation or ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy for Giacomini vein insufficiency. This is the largest cohort of patients treated for Giacomini vein insufficiency with endovenous laser ablation or ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy. Material and methods Over a three-year period, 23 females and nine males (age range, 19–67 years) treated for Giacomini vein insufficiency with or without saphenous vein insufficiency were retrospectively reviewed. Diagnosis of venous insufficiency was made by color Doppler ultrasonography. Symptomatic insufficiency of the Giacomini vein or the saphenous veins was treated with endovenous laser ablation. Ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy was used for tortuous incompetent Giacomini veins. The venous disease was categorized according to the clinical, etiological, anatomical, and pathological classification, and clinical severity was graded with the venous clinical severity score. Follow-up included clinical examination and color Doppler ultrasonography. Results Thirty-nine limbs in 32 patients were treated (25 endovenous laser ablation and seven ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy). All procedures were technically successful. One patient in the ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy group had a recurrence with successful repeated treatment. Recurrence was not seen in the endovenous laser ablation group. No complications were observed. All patients had resolution and improvement in 100% of their symptoms at 12 months of follow-up. Conclusion Giacomini vein insufficiency is mostly seen with insufficiency of the great saphenous vein and can be effectively treated with endovenous laser ablation or ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy.

Objective: To explore the clinical value of color Doppler ultrasonography in the diagnosis of breast cancer. Methods: 99 cases of breast cancer patients were selected as the research object, retrospective analysis of its clinical treatment data. Results: The group of 99 patients, 97 confirmed cases, 2 cases were misdiagnosed, the diagnostic accuracy rate was 97.98%. Conclusion: Color Doppler ultrasonography in patients with breast cancer has the advantages of high accuracy, simple operation and noninvasive. It is worthy of promotion.

Background: Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is the standard of care for breast cancer patients with non-palpable axillary lymph nodes. We evaluated the usefulness of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in preoperative detection of malignant SLNs. Methods: 50 patients with breast cancer (median age: 60 years) underwent a color power Doppler ultrasonography with intravenous contrast (Sonovue®) preoperatively, and findings suggestive of metastatic disease to the SLN were documented. The final histopathological report and the radiological preoperative record were compared. Finally, the sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy of this evolving diagnostic modality were calculated. Results: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound scan identified a negative SLN in the axilla of 27 patients and final histopathology was negative for 30 cases in total, so negative predictive value was calculated as 90% and positive predictive value was 75%. Overall sensitivity was 83.33% and specificity was 84.38%. Moreover, the ability of contrast-enhanced ultrasound to differentiate between SLN status was only statistically significantly correlated with the actual final histopathological report (p < 0.001), while successful ultrasound prediction was not correlated with any factor. Conclusions: SLN status can be evaluated preoperatively using contrast-enhanced color Doppler ultrasonography with high accuracy.

Evaluation of quality of ovulation is possible with the help of Trans Vaginal Color Doppler Sonography. In case of primary infertility if baseline sonography findings are normal, rest of the female factors for infertility and male factors of infertility are also normal, among this couple if female partner is subjected for daily based Yoga and Pranayam programme designed by qualified Yoga trainer at least for six month we can evaluate the quality of ovum and ovulation. During this programme, randomly selected female patients were subjected for Yoga and Pranayam (Group-I) and similar patients were not participated for Yoga and Pranayam (Group-II). The Trans Vaginal Color Doppler findings during ovulation were compared statistically between both the groups. Six months follow up result showed that pregnancy was positive for more number of patients performing Yoga without ovulation inducing drugs.
