title: [Color Doppler flow imaging in the diagnosis of complex vitreoretinal diseases].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the advantages of Color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) in the diagnosis of complex vitreoretinal diseases.
  
  
  METHODS
  Both CDFI and B-mode ultrasonographic studies were performed on 518 cases (678 eyes) vitreoretinal diseases, such as vitreous hemorrhage, posterior vitreous detachment, vitreoschisis, retinal detachment; choroidal detachment and diabetic vitreoretinopathy. The accuracy of diagnosis by B-mode and CDFI on the same case was compared with results of surgery.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Comparing between CDFI and B-mode ultrasonographic, CDFI has more advantage in the diagnosis of the complicated vitreous-retina disease than other simple retina diseases (P < 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  CDFI is good diagnostic method for complicated vitreoretinal diseases. Using CDFI sensitivity and veracity were obvious improved than using B-mode. CDFI can get more information for clinical diagnosis.
