title: [The significance of color [Collor] flowmetry in the differential diagnosis of adnexal tumors].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  to specify the diagnostic importance of arteria ovarica flowmetry, in relation to morphological ultrasonic criteria in the diagnosis adnexal masses.
  
  
  METHODS
  The authors measured arteria ovarica flow in women suffering from adnexal masses, and compared flowmetry with the morphological ultrasound score for extrauterine mass evaluation acord Sassone.
  
  
  METHODS
  Open group of 25 women with diagnosis of adnexal mass in a prospective non-comparative study, underwent laparotomy for this diagnosis.
  
  
  METHODS
  The SSD-680 Aloka scanner with Collor Doppler facility, using transvaginal 5.5 MHz probe.
  
  
  METHODS
  Arteria ovarica flow on the side of adnexal mass is significantly higher in solid and mixed ovarian tumours (Sassone index > 7). Cystic tumours and functional ovarian cysts (Sassone index < 7) were responsible for lower than average flow in the a. ovarica.
  
  
  RESULTS
  an indirect relation of the arteria ovarica flow on the side of the adnexal mass and the grade of morphological changes evaluated acording Sassone scoring system was found. Significantly lower value of Pulzatility index, Rezistence index and S/D ratio related with higher haemoperfusion of adnexal region, was found in solid and mixed ovarian tumours.
