Clinical Research in Diagnostic Ultrasound

Research in the Division of Diagnostic Ultrasound continues in a number of directions. Some division investigators seek to determine the frequency of fetal chromosomal abnormalities in the presence of sonographically detected anatomic defects. Others are studying the accuracy of ultrasound in detecting anomalies and aberrant growth patterns. Research in gynecology is being conducted to establish the accuracy of color Doppler velocimetry in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer. Finally, the role of ultrasound in ovarian cancer screening is being evaluated in conjunction with researchers from the Division of Gynecologic Oncology.
