Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The purpose of the study was to compare power 3-D with conventional 2-D sonography with color and power Doppler in assessment of tumor vascularity in small hepatic hemangiomas. The study group comprised 12 patients (7 males and 5 females) aged 28-60, (mean 44) with diagnosed hemangiomas. In all the patients 2-D and 3-D sonography was performed and their results were compared. Both color and power Doppler 2-D sonography failed to detect blood flow in the tumors. Blood flow signals were detected in 3-D power Doppler sonography. 3-D power Doppler is superior to 2-D color and power Doppler imaging in the detection of blood flow signal in hemangiomas.
