Pellizzari1, C. Esposito, F. Siliotti, S. Marchiori and M. Gangemi ...(abstract) A pulsed Doppler range gate was placed across each vessel, aiming for an angle of insonation close to 0° between the Doppler beam and the vessel. After detection of blood flow and visualization of the waveform of the uterine and ovarian arteries, four blood flow indices were automatically calculated: the pulsatility index (PI); the resistance index (RI); the peak systolic velocity (Vp, units of cm/s); and the end-diastolic velocity (Vd, units of cm/s). At least three consecutive correctly imaged blood flow velocity waveforms were analysed, and mean values of PI, RI, Vp and Vd calculated. No significant difference was observed between the right and left uterine arteries, or between the right and left ovarian arteries in the value of each vascular index. Thus, the uterine and ovarian artery of one side were selected for further analysis...

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
