Abstract:
Objective To compare the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and conventional ultrasound (CUS) in the localization and definition of different types of uterine myomas.Methods With real-time CEUS technique, 56 patients with uterine myomas proved by pathology were observed. The accuracy between CEUS and CUS in the localization and definition of different types of uterine myomas was retrospectively analyzed. Results The accordance rates of CEUS and CUS in the diagnosis of total uterine myomas, intramural myomas, submueous and subserous myomas were 94.6% (53/56) vs 73.2%(41/56),99.3%(31/32) vs 78.1%(25/32) and 91.6%(22/24) vs 66.7%(16/24),respectively,and in the definition of number and margin of myomas were 92.8 % (104/112) vs 80.30% (90/112) and 91.9 (103/112) vs 78.6 % (88/112). The accordance rates of CEUS and CUS in the diagnosis of typical uterine myomas were 95.8% (23/24) and 87.5% (21/24),and in the diagnosis of atypical uterine myomas were 93.8%(30/32) and 62.5% (20/32),which were different in statistics (P<0.05). Conclusions CEUS is better than CUS in revealing the number and margin of different types of uterine myomas. The accordance rates of CEUS were higher than those of CUS in the diagnosis of different types of uterine myomas and atypical uterine myomas. CEUS may be a new technique in the localization and definition of uterine myomas.
