Color and pulsed Doppler ultrasound examinations were done on 11 normal volunteers (NU) and 286 patients that consisted of cervical carcinoma (CC), leiomyoma and/or adenomyosis (M), endometrial carcinoma (EC), trophoblastic disease (TD), benign ovarian tumor (BO), Krukenberg tumor (KT) and ovarian carcinoma (OC). The vascularity was based on the resistance index (RI) and maximum blood flow velocity (Vmax). In uterine disease, there was significant difference (p less than 0.01) among each group, except but one correspondence between NU and CC with RI, and there was significant difference (p less than 0.001) between NU and M, CC and M with Vmax. In ovarian disease, there was significant difference among each group with RI, and there was no significant difference among each group with Vmax. Therefore, Doppler ultrasound is a useful diagnostic tool for assessing gynecologic tumor vascularity.
