Color Doppler flow imaging in the diagnosis of complex vitreoretinal diseases

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
