Dear Ultrasound Insider,
AuntMinnie.com's partnership with Australian ultrasound information and research provider Ultrasound Review is the focus of three exclusive Ultrasound Insider articles this month.
In an article summarized from a study in the Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, investigators from the University of São Paulo in Brazil have determined that duplex Doppler sonography is a superior screening tool for suspected renal artery stenosis in transplant kidneys.

In another article, reported from the Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, Spanish researchers discuss the difficulties of differentiating primary ovarian carcinomas from metastatic ovarian tumors using grayscale and color Doppler ultrasound. The group, from the Clínica Universitaria de Navarra in Pamplona, concluded that a finding of a purely or predominantly solid tumor favors the diagnosis of a metastatic tumor rather than primary ovarian cancer. You can find the article here: http://www.auntminnie.com/default.asp?Sec=sup&Sub=ult&Pag=dis&ItemId=58238
The third Ultrasound Review article summarizes research in the British Journal of Urology from Shimane Medical University in Izumo, Japan. A Shimane group of urologists concluded that transrectal color Doppler reflects the state of angiogenesis in prostate cancer cases.
