A member asked:
Can blood flow differences be seen on ultrasound between benign and malignant ovarian tumors?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not reliably: There may be differences, but doppler ultrasound is not a reliable way to confirm benign vs. Malignant ovarian tumors. Doppler sometimes helps discriminate between active patholgy and persistent functional cysts.
