Sonographic Association of Polycystic Ovaries with Ovarian Arterial Pulsatility and Resistive Index

Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the sonographic association of polycystic ovaries with ovarian arterial pulsatility and resistive index. Methodology: In Al Mustafa Trust Medical Centre Lahore, a comparative analytic study was conducted. 140 patients of age group 17 to 50 were included in this study with convenient sampling technique. All patients were females and 70 were with the history of PCOs and normal. Gray scale Ultrasound and Doppler was used to diagnose the PI and RI in normal and subject. Duration of study: 02- Aug-2021 to 14- Dec-2021 Results: 70 PCOs patients have hyperechoic ovarian stroma and other 70 shows normal echogenicity. In this study different age groups were selected with minimum age was 17 years and maximum age was 50 years. In PCO females the mean RI was 0.7333 and PI was 1.6303 and in normal females the mean RI was 0.8889 and PI was 2.7251. Out of 140 patients the mean volume of right ovary is 9.6557 cm3 and of left ovary is 9.7943 cm3. Our Study was significant at point 0.0001. Conclusion: It is concluded that ovarian Doppler ultrasound is a basic tool in the diagnosis of the PCOS and provide an insight into the pathophysiological state and degree of progression in the affected ovary.
