Also, twisted adnexa are often suprafundal and outside the focal range of the vaginal transducer, making doppler evaluation problematic. art At Mon, 13 Jun 2005, Suzy wrote: > >Hi Everybody > >The only experience I have had with uterine and ovarian arteries is when I do ovarian doppler intravaginally to r/o torsion. I have been told by a radiologist that the ovary is fed by both the uterine and ovarian arteries. To tell the difference is to recognize the diastolic notch in the uterine art. Just because we see uterine arterial flow within the ovary does not mean that the ovarian artery is not torsed. Generally if I see ovarian flow from the ovarian artery in the ovsry, then it's safe to say there's no torsion. Please enlighten me if this is not correct.
