Abstract EN

Purpose.

The current study aimed to evaluate whether combined application of ultrasound and CT had increased Diagnostic Value in Female Patients with Pelvic Masses over either method alone.

Patients and Methods.

240 female patients with pelvic masses were detected preoperatively with ultrasound and CT prior to surgery.

The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of ultrasound, CT, and combined ultrasound/CT application were evaluated, respectively.

Results.

The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of ultrasound were 52.8%, 86.7%, and 68.75%, respectively.

The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of CT were 80.3%, 90.3%, and 85%, respectively.

The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of combined application of ultrasound and CT were 89%, 94.7%, and 91.7%.

The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of combined application of ultrasound and CT were higher than those of either ultrasound or CT.

Conclusions.

The combined application of ultrasound and CT had higher Diagnostic Value in Female Patients with Pelvic Masses than either method alone.
