According to Tokyo University classification, the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound were 82.4% and 79%, respectively. According to the authors' classification, they were 82.8% and 88%. The sensitivity and specificity of Doppler ultrasound reached optimal value at RI < 0.5 and at PI < 1. Serious carcinoma and mucinous carcinoma had the highest prevalence (52.62%).
