[Differential diagnosis of hematoma, pulsating hematoma and pseudoaneurysm of the femoral artery using color Doppler].

Color Doppler and Duplex Doppler US were employed on 4 patients with clinically suspected pseudoaneurysms as a complication of femoral artery puncture after cardiac catheterization. Pseudoaneurysms were identified with Color Doppler US and their typical appearance was confirmed. The grey-scale findings did not allow an adequate differentiation between hematoma and pulsed hematoma without fibrous encapsulation: only Color Doppler US easily detected the track between damaged artery and blood collection and allowed a sample to be obtained for pulsed Doppler examination. Color Doppler US allowed an accurate and non-invasive diagnosis of groin masses after femoral artery catheterization.

[Role of echography in the diagnosis of ovarian tumors].

The role of sonography is evaluated in the diagnosis of ovarian tumors. Real-time US proves more sensitive than gynecological examination in the diagnosis of ovarian diseases. As yet, however, no correlation has been found between histological findings and US appearance. An accurate review of the relative literature and of our results lead us to the conclusion that sonography does not significantly affect the early diagnosis of ovarian tumors.

[Urography with non-ionic contrast media. Multicenter experience on the optimization of the technic].

The authors report the results of a multicentric experience based on 1200 urograms performed with nonionic contrast medium. The global diagnostic reliability is evaluated, together with the specific reliability for kidneys, ureters, and bladder, according to the various pathologies. The eventual need of radiographs of completion is showed. In searching for an optimization of the technique for nonionic contrast medium, a panoramic radiograph performed 10' after the end of the injection is pointed out as the key-moment of the test, being extremely rich in information, so as to help defining the most appropriate technique to continue the examination. For its excellent tolerability and high reliability, the nonionic contrast medium is recommended also in routine IVP, not only in risk patients.
