Abstract: Objective To evaluate the performance of virtual touch tissue quantification imaging (VTQ) for differential diagnosing in uterine hysteromyoma and adenomyoma. Methods Blood flow parameters and SWV (shear wave velocities) from 42 regular hysteromyomas,14 abnormal hysteromyomas and 25 uterine adenomyomas were compared and analyzed through color Doppler. Results The SWV of regular hysteromyomas was on average of (2.72 ± 0.31) m/s;that of abnormal hysteromyomas (1.88 ± 0.25) m/s;while the SWV of uterine adenomyomas was on average of 1.91 ± 0.27 m/s. The mean SWV in regular hysteromyomas group was significantly higher than that in abnormal hysteromyomas group and uterine adenomyomas group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference of SWV between abnormal hysteromyomas group and uterine adenomyomas group (P > 0.05).The resistance index and SWV of uterine hysteromyomas and adenomyomas had positive correlation (r = 0.753,0.544,0.506,P < 0.05). Conclusion VTQ can quantify the stiffiness of uterine hysteromyoma and adenomyoma.
