Mine Ozkol et al. Clin Imaging. 2006 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the significance of color Doppler ultrasound (CDUS) findings in the differential diagnosis of suspicious nodular skin lesions and to compare the results according to the Giovagnorio 1999 classification and the modified classification. Forty nodular skin lesions were evaluated with CDUS and US. The number of arteries and veins was recorded in hypervascular lesions. Findings were compared with histopathological results. The specificity and predictivity of the modified classification were higher than those of the Giovagnorio 1999 classification.
