Researchers Use Ultrasound to Predict Ovarian Cancer

Caption

Representative transvaginal US images of classic lesions; color Doppler blood flow with color bar signifies direction of flow. (A) Transverse color Doppler image of right adnexa depicts an anechoic cyst with no internal elements or Doppler flow, compatible with a simple cyst. (B) Transverse color Doppler image of left adnexa depicts a cystic lesion with retractile clot and no Doppler flow, compatible with a hemorrhagic cyst. (C) Sagittal gray-scale image of left adnexa depicts a cystic lesion with homogeneous, low-level echoes or ground-glass appearance, compatible with an endometrioma. (D) Transverse color Doppler image of right adnexa depicts a lesion with echogenic components that demonstrate acoustic shadowing and no Doppler flow, compatible with ovarian dermoid.
