We evaluated intrarenal arterial waveforms with image-directed color Doppler ultrasonography in 21 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The systolic-diastolic ratio, resistive index, and pulsatility index were compared with serum creatinine levels, creatinine clearance, and quantitation

✦ Synopsis
Image-directed color Doppler ultrasonography (ICDUS) studies of 86 patients with superficial solid masses yielded significantly lower resistive index (RI) values in acute inflammatory lesions, but no significant difference between the maximum systolic flow velocities (S) of the patient groups with malignant, benign, and acute inflammatory lesions. When analyzed separately, the malignant soft-tissue tumor subgroup was shown to have significantly higher mean RI compared to that of the malignant node subgroup.
We conclude that RI may be useful in the differentiation of acute inflammatory masses from other pathological entities. Malignant soft-tissue tumors, especially sarcomas, may have different Doppler features from those of carcinomatous tumors.
