OBJECTIVE: To determine the accuracy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) for the diagnosis of deep pelvic endometriosis. METHODS: In a prospective study, 142 women with clinical signs of endometriosis underwent TVS followed by surgical and histopathological investigations. The presence and extent of endometriosis involving the uterosacral ligaments, vagina, rectovaginal septum, intestines, bladder and ovaries shown by TVS were compared with surgical and histological findings. The sensitivity, specificity, predictive values and accuracy of TVS for predicting deep pelvic endometriosis were assessed. RESULTS: Ovarian and deep pelvic endometriosis were found by surgery and histology in respectively 83 (58.5%) and 79 (55.6%) of the 142 patients. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of TVS for the diagnosis of deep pelvic endometriosis were 78.5%, 95.2%, 95.4% and 77.9%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of TVS for endometriotic involvement of the uterosacral ligaments, vagina, rectovaginal septum and intestines were 70.6% and 95.9%, 29.4% and 100%, 28.6% and 99.3%, and 87.2% and 96.8%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of TVS for bladder involvement were 71.4% and 100%, respectively. CONCLUSION: TVS accurately diagnoses intestinal and bladder endometriosis, but is less accurate for uterosacral, vaginal and rectovaginal septum involvement. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare the accuracy of rectal endoscopic ultrasonography (REU) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for predicting rectal wall involvement in patients presenting histologically proven deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). METHODS: This was a retrospective study of a continuous series of 81 patients presenting histologically proven DIE who underwent preoperative investigations using both REU and MRI. The sonographer and the radiologist, who were unaware of the clinical findings and patient history, but knew that DIE was suspected, were asked whether there was involvement of the digestive wall. RESULTS: Rectal DIE was confirmed histologically in 34 of the 81 (42%) patients. For the diagnosis of rectal involvement, sensitivity, specificity and positive and negative predictive value for REU were 97.1%, 89.4%, 86.8% and 97.7% and for MRI they were 76.5%, 97.9%, 96.3% and 85.2%. CONCLUSION: The sensitivity and negative predictive value of REU were higher than those of MRI suggesting that REU performs better than MRI in the diagnosis of rectal involvement for patients presenting with DIE. Prospective studies with a large number of patients are needed in order to validate these preliminary results. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the accuracy of transabdominal sonography (TAS) and transvaginal sonography (TVS) for the diagnosis of adenomyosis, and to determine the diagnostic relevance of various sonographic criteria. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A total of 129 women scheduled for hysterectomy were enrolled into this prospective study. Group 1 (n = 23) consisted of patients with menometrorrhagia who were free of myoma and endometrial disorders on TAS. Group 2 consisted of all the other patients (n = 106). TAS and TVS findings were compared to histopathological results. RESULTS: The prevalence of adenomyosis in Groups 1 and 2 was 91.3% and 24.5%, respectively. TAS had limited value for the diagnosis of adenomyosis in both groups. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of TVS in Groups 1 and 2 were 80.9% and 38.4%, 100% and 97.5%, 100% and 83.3%, and 40% and 82.9%, respectively. The accuracy of combined TAS and TVS in Groups 1 and 2 was 91.3% and 83%, respectively. The presence of myometrial cysts was the most specific ultrasound diagnostic criterion for adenomyosis. Hypoechoic linear myometrial striations related to the presence of myometrial hypertrophy correlated to hormonal status with a sensitivity of 66.6% and a specificity of 100% in Group 1. CONCLUSIONS: Our results show that TAS has a limited diagnostic capacity for adenomyosis but also that TVS alone was poor in patients with an enlarged uterus. In these cases a combination of TVS and TAS should be used. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the utility of the American College of Radiology's Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) sonographic final assessment system and palpation-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) for evaluation of palpable breast lesions. METHODS: Our computerized database identified 160 palpable lesions of the breast in which follow-up palpation-guided FNA, targeted sonography, and pathologic confirmation were performed. We used BI-RADS sonographic data on all lesions. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of malignancy were calculated for sonography and palpation-guided FNA. Two-sample binomial proportion tests were used as the statistical analysis (P<.05). RESULTS: The FNA results were defined as benign, atypical cells, suspicious for malignancy, malignancy, and insufficiency. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were 90.9%, 82.7%, 84.3%, 57.7%, and 97.2%, respectively, on sonography and 75.8% to 90.9%, 82.7% to 98.4%, 84.3% to 94.4%, 57.7% to 92.6%, and 93.9% to 97.2% on FNA. There was no statistically significant difference for sensitivity and negative predictive value between the two examinations. CONCLUSIONS: The diagnostic accuracy of sonography was similar to that of palpation-guided FNA for not missing the malignancy. Clinical application of FNA results can be difficult, especially when the result is insufficiency or atypical cells. Moreover, FNA is invasive and overlaps other procedures. Therefore, we conclude that sonography can replace palpation-guided FNA for diagnosis of palpable lesions of the breast when the BI-RADS sonographic final assessment system is used appropriately. 相似文献

PURPOSE: Saline infusion sonography (SIS) is a relatively new technique in the evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding. We compared the diagnostic accuracy of SIS with that of transvaginal sonography (TVS) in the detection of intracavitary abnormalities in premenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding. METHODS: In this prospective study, consecutive premenopausal women who underwent a hysteroscopy for abnormal uterine bleeding also underwent TVS and SIS. The findings at TVS and SIS were compared with the hysteroscopic and histologic findings. Sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios were calculated. Receiver operating characteristic curves were constructed to assess the performance of endometrial thickness measured using TVS. RESULTS: Sixty-two patients were included in the study. TVS demonstrated 60% sensitivity in directly visualizing intracavitary abnormalities and 93% specificity. The likelihood ratio of the presence of an intracavitary abnormality was 8, and the likelihood ratio of the absence of an intracavitary abnormality was 0.43. Defining an abnormality at TVS as direct visualization of an intracavitary abnormality or an endometrial thickness greater than 5 mm, TVS had an 85% sensitivity and a 21% specificity, with corresponding likelihood ratios of 1.1 and 0.71, respectively. For SIS, the sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios of the presence and absence of intracavitary abnormalities were 88%, 95%, 10, and 0.13, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: SIS is more accurate in the diagnosis of intracavitary abnormalities in premenopausal women than is TVS. An approach using endometrial thickness measurement by TVS and reserving SIS for patients who have an endometrial thickness greater than 5 mm or an intracavitary abnormality visualized by TVS would be the most effective method to reduce the number of hysteroscopies. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To validate carotid duplex sonography (CDS) in diagnosis of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) against the standard of cerebral catheter angiography. METHODS: We investigated 35 patients with dural AVFs and 64 patients without dural AVFs confirmed by the catheter angiographic studies. Twenty CDS parameters in 4 categories, including resistive index (RI), flow volume, peak systolic velocity, and end-diastolic velocity, were evaluated. Abnormal CDS findings were defined as the data above 95th percentile or below 5th percentile values from 180 control subjects. We determined the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy in each CDS parameter. RESULTS: The parameter of RI of the external carotid artery (ECA; cutoff points: right, 0.72; left, 0.71) yielded the highest sensitivity (74%), specificity (89%), positive predictive value (79%), negative predictive value (86%), and accuracy (84%) for predicting dural AVFs. All other ECA-related parameters yielded sensitivity lower than 70%, and those related to the internal carotid artery were lower than 30%. The sensitivity values for the parameter of RI of the ECA in different locations of dural AVFs were 54% (7 of 13 patients) in cavernous sinus dural AVFs and 86% (19 of 22 patients) in non-cavernous sinus dural AVFs (P = .05). CONCLUSIONS: The RI of the ECA is the best CDS parameter for predicting intracranial dural AVFs. Carotid duplex sonography can be used as the initial screening tool for diagnosis in patients having symptoms related to dural AVFs. 相似文献

Endometriosis is a common cause of pelvic pain and infertility in young women. Transvaginal sonography is major means for diagnosing ovarian masses. In our study, we scanned 60 patients with endometriomata who underwent laparotomy or laparoscopy. We compared preoperative ultrasonographic diagnosis with histological reports. The sonographic criteria for the diagnosis of endometriomata were (1) cystic structure with low, homogeneous echogenicity and (2) thick cystic wall with regular margins. In 50 patients, sonography suggested an endometrioma. In 47 cases, the diagnosis was correct. The false-positive cases were all caused by cystic teratomas with a homogeneous sonographic pattern. Ten false-negative cases were diagnosed by ultrasonography as functional ovarian cysts (5), teratomas (3), and benign ovarian cystoma (1). Only 1 case of a 5-mm endometrioma was demonstrated by laparoscopy but not by TVS. The sensitivity of TVS for diagnosing endometriomata was 82.4% and specificity 97.7%; the positive and negative predictive values were 94% and 92.8%, respectively. The diagnostic accuracy of TVS was 93%. In our experience, TVS is a very specific means for diagnosing endometriomata when the typical pattern is detected; however, the sensitivity of the technique needs to be improved. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine the clinical usefulness of color duplex sonography in the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis as an alternative to temporal artery biopsy. METHODS: From May 1998 to November 2002, 68 consecutive patients seen in our hospital with a clinical suggestion of active temporal arteritis were included. Forty-eight patients were female and 20 were male, with a mean age of 77 years. Color duplex sonography with a linear array transducer (5-10 MHz) was used to assess temporal artery morphologic characteristics before a biopsy was performed. The main sonographic criterion for a positive diagnosis was visualization of a hypoechoic halo around the temporal artery. These data were compared with pathologic findings. The kappa statistic was used to determine the level of agreement. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and accuracy of duplex sonography as a diagnostic test were assessed. RESULTS: The color duplex sonographic findings were positive in 25 of 68 patients with a clinical suggestion of giant cell arteritis. The diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy in 22 patients; there were 4 false-positive results and 1 false-negative result by duplex sonography. The kappa value was 0.84. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and accuracy for duplex sonography were 95.4%, 91.3%, 84%, 97.6%, and 92.6%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The use of high-resolution color duplex sonography may replace biopsy in the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis. 相似文献

Fifty-six patients with soft tissue masses of the limbs (36 benign, 20 malignant) prospectively underwent sonography (color Doppler and pulsed Doppler examinations) to assess the role of Doppler interrogation in differentiating benign from malignant lesions. Sonography showed 60% sensitivity, 55% specificity, 71% negative predictive value, 42% positive predictive value, and 57% accuracy. Color Doppler evaluation showed 85% sensitivity, 88% specificity, 91% negative predictive value, 80% positive predictive value, and 87% accuracy. Diastolic and venous velocities and pulsatility index values were not statistically significant. Mean systolic velocity was 0.27 m/s in benign lesions and 0.55 m/s in malignant lesions. By combining sonographic and Doppler data, a correct diagnosis was obtained in 51 of 56 patients (90% sensitivity, 91% specificity, 85% positive predictive value, 94% negative predictive value, 91% accuracy). Color Doppler and pulsed Doppler evaluations represent a useful adjunct to sonography and should be routinely included in the evaluation of musculoskeletal soft tissue masses by ultrasonography. 相似文献

The objective was to compare the accuracy of abdominal sonography performed by emergency physicians in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis with that of the surgeons' clinical impression. Three hundred-seventeen patients with right lower abdominal pain admitted to the Department of Emergency Medicine at National Taiwan University Hospital in Taipei, Taiwan were prospectively included in this study. Patients were divided into two groups according to the time of day they visited the emergency department. Those patients visiting the emergency department during the day were included in group I and those during the night were in group II. Group I was diagnosed by sonography. Group II was diagnosed by surgeons' clinical impression without sonographic examination. The definitive diagnosis of acute appendicitis was confirmed by the pathological reports. In the diagnosis of acute appendicitis, group I had a sensitivity of 96.4%, a specificity of 67.6%, a positive predictive value of 89.8%, a negative predictive value of 86.2%, and an accuracy of 89.1%, and group II had a sensitivity of 86.2%, a specificity of 37.0%, a positive predictive value of 74.6%, a negative predictive value of 55.6%, and an accuracy of 70.6%. The overall accuracy of sonography performed by emergency physicians in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis was superior to that of the surgeons' clinical impression. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To evaluate and compare the accuracy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) and sonohysterography (SHG) in the investigation of women of reproductive age presenting with irregular uterine bleeding (IUB). METHODS: This prospective study included 104 women presenting with IUB. All patients underwent TVS, SHG, and hysteroscopy, during which endometrial biopsies were obtained and any endometrial mass was treated with hysteroscopic surgery. Statistical analysis was performed by calculating the sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of TVS and SHG in diagnosing endometrial polyp, submucous myoma and all endometrial pathologies (polyp, submucous myoma, endometrial hyperplasia, and endometrial carcinoma) with the histopathological report of the tissues obtained by hysteroscopy serving as the end point for the analysis. RESULTS: The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values, respectively of TVS were 61.2%, 90.9%, 85.7%, and 72.5% for diagnosing endometrial polyps; 75.0%, 92.0%, 63.1%, and 95.3% for diagnosing submucous myomas; and 75.0%, 80.6%, 87.9%, and 63.0% for diagnosing any kind of pathology. The corresponding diagnostic values of SHG were 83.7%, 96.4%, 95.3%, and 86.9% for polyps; 87.5%, 98.9%, 93.3%, and 97.8% for submucous myomas; and 88.2%, 91.7%, 95.2%, and 80.5% for any kind of pathology. CONCLUSIONS: SHG showed superior sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values compared with TVS in diagnosing intrauterine lesions in women of reproductive age with IUB. 相似文献

This review summarizes the current evidence regarding the diagnostic accuracy of sonography (US) in women with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). It is well known that transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) can detect ovarian endometriomas with a high degree of sensitivity. In recent years, US has also been used to detect DIE. In the hands of an experienced sonologist, the sensitivity and specificity of TVUS in the detection of DIE is comparable to those of MRI. TVUS can eliminate the need for an MRI in the majority of patients and reduce the need for diagnostic laparoscopy, proving to be an important tool in preoperative planning. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Groin hernias are common conditions, and there is a need for accurate imaging when the clinical diagnosis is not clear. A meta‐analysis was undertaken to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of sonography in the diagnosis of inguinal hernias. After review of literature searches, 9 original articles were included. Data were pooled and statistically analyzed. In the studies included, sensitivity ranged from 92.7% to 100%; specificity ranged from 22.2% to 100%; the positive predictive value ranged from 83.3 to 100%; and the negative predictive value ranged from 40 to 100%. Sonography has overall sensitivity of 96.6 %, specificity of 84.8%, and a positive predictive value of 92.6%. In cases of diagnostic uncertainty, sonography offers value as an initial imaging modality. It has advantages over other radiologic methods, as it is inexpensive and has minimal complications. When the clinical diagnosis of an inguinal hernia is uncertain, sonographic findings should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical judgment, as its diagnostic accuracy is reduced in the absence of any clinically palpable hernia. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) and saline infusion sonography (SIS) for detecting intracavitary abnormalities in premenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding. METHOD: Consecutive premenopausal women who underwent hysterectomy for abnormal uterine bleeding were included. All women underwent TVS and SIS before their hysterectomy. The findings at TVS and SIS were compared with the findings of the hysterectomy specimen. Sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios were calculated. RESULTS: The results of 50 patients with abnormal uterine bleeding were evaluated. Histological examination revealed normal endometrial histology in 27 patients, submucous myomas in 13 patients and intracavitary polyps in 10 patients. The sensitivity of TVS in directly visualizing intracavitary abnormalities was 61% for a specificity of 96%. The likelihood ratio of presence of an intracavitary abnormality was 16 and the likelihood ratio of absence of such a finding was 0.41. When defining abnormality at TVS as direct visualization of an intracavitary abnormality or an increased endometrial thickness (cut-off level 5 mm), the sensitivity of TVS was 87% for a specificity of 56%, with corresponding likelihood ratios of 2 and 0.23, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of SIS was 100% and 85% with likelihood ratios of 6 and 0.0, respectively. No intracavitary abnormality was missed by SIS. CONCLUSION: The diagnostic accuracy of SIS is higher than the accuracy of TVS. A combined approach using endometrial thickness measurement by TVS and, reserving SIS for patients with increased (> 5 mm) endometrial thickness, or endometrium inadequately visualized on TVS, is the optimal method of reducing the hysteroscopy rate. 相似文献

Comparison of ultrasound elastography, mammography, and sonography in the diagnosis of solid breast lesions. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Hui Zhi Bing Ou Bao-Ming Luo Xia Feng Yan-Ling Wen Hai-Yun Yang 《Journal of ultrasound in medicine》2007,26(6):807-815
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the value of ultrasound elastography (UE) in differentiating benign versus malignant lesions in the breast and compare it with conventional sonography and mammography. METHODS: From September 2004 to May 2005, 296 solid lesions from 232 consecutive patients were diagnosed as benign or malignant by mammography and sonography and further analyzed with UE. The diagnostic results were compared with histopathologic findings. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive and negative predictive values, and false-positive and -negative rates were calculated for each modality and the combination of UE and sonography. RESULTS: Of 296 lesions, 87 were histologically malignant, and 209 were benign. Ultrasound elastography was the most specific (95.7%) and had the lowest false-positive rate (4.3%) of the 3 modalities. The accuracy (88.2%) and positive predictive value (87.1%) of UE were higher than those of sonography (72.6% and 52.5%, respectively). The sensitivity values, negative predictive values, and false negative rates of the 3 modalities had no differences. A combination of UE and sonography had the best sensitivity (89.7%) and accuracy (93.9%) and the lowest false-negative rate (9.2%). The specificity (95.7%) and positive predictive value (89.7%) of the combination were better, and the false-positive rate (4.3%) of the combination was lower than those of mammography and sonography. CONCLUSIONS: In a clinical trial with Chinese women, UE was superior to sonography and equal or superior to mammography in differentiating benign and malignant lesions in the breast. A combination of UE and sonography had the best results in detecting cancer and potentially could reduce unnecessary biopsy. Ultrasound elastography is a promising technique for evaluating breast lesions. 相似文献

Despite the widespread use of TVS for diagnosing EP and extensive literature on the subject, there is no consensus regarding the best positivity criterion for adnexal findings or the performance characteristics of TVS. We conducted a literature search to identify original studies presenting suitable data on the use of TVS for the diagnosis of EP. The data were combined to determine the sensitivity and specificity of four sonographic criteria for EP, listed in order from most to least stringent: Criterion A, living extrauterine pregnancy; criterion B, extrauterine gestational sac containing yolk sac or embryo; criterion C, empty "tubal ring" or extrauterine gestational sac containing yolk sac or embryo; and criterion D, any adnexal mass other than a simple cyst. Positive and negative predictive values were computed using Bayes' theorem. Ten studies involving a total of 2216 patients, 565 with EP and 1651 without EP, were included in our analysis. Based on the combined data from these studies, criteria A, B, and C all have high specificities (99.5-100%) and positive predictive values (97.8-100%) but low sensitivities (20.1-64.6%) and mediocre negative predictive values (78.5-89.1%). Criterion D, the most lax criterion, has the most uniformly excellent characteristics, with only slightly lower specificity (98.9%) and positive predictive value (96.3%) but considerably higher sensitivity (84.4%) and negative predictive value (94.8%). The performance characteristics of TVS criteria for EP, computed by pooling data from published studies, indicate that the appropriate TVS criterion to diagnose EP is any noncystic adnexal mass. These performance characteristics can be used as a basis for comparing TVS with other proposed diagnostic modalities for EP. 相似文献
