Acta Chir Hung. 1998;37(1-2):67-70.

Abstract

Authors have analysed the case records of their patients admitted in the last 2.5 years. The color-doppler US is stated to be the most efficient method in differential diagnostics, but the conventional ultrasound + Doppler + scintigraphy can also help in establishing quick and reliable diagnosis as it has been proved in practice.
