[Prognostic value of vaginal ultrasound with color Doppler in differentiating the malignancy of ovarian tumors].

The authors presented results of research on pathological vascularization in ovarian tumors by Doppler's method. 60 records of blood flow were analysed to estimate: pulsation index (PI) and resistance index (RI). Among benign ovarian tumors (26 cases) PI was 1.82 +/- 0.93 and RI 0.93 +/- 0.36. On the contrary, for malignant neoplasms (11 cases) the blood flow was low resistance PI: 0.89 +/- 0.38 and RI: 0.44 +/- 0.19.
