Abstract:
Objective: Evaluating ovarian carcinoma diagnosis,staging and resectability with EBCT. Methods: 25 cases of ovarian carcinoma were performed in total abdominal including pelvic with EBCT one week before operation.CT findings were compared and analysed with surgical and pathological results. Results: Of 25 patients,11 were serous cyst adenocarcinoma,six mucinous cyst adenocarcinoma,three malignant teratoma,two metastases,and each have only one for clear cell carcinoma,embryo carcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma.Clinical staging of carcinoma were seven in stageⅠ,seven in stage Ⅱ,nine in stage Ⅲ,two in stage Ⅳ.Invaded vessels and nearby organs around ovarian carcinoma,and the status of peritoneum metastases,were main factors that influenced the difficulties of operation.Compared with conventional CT,EBCT has the virtues of ultrafast scanning,excellent quality of image,and displaying focus detail fine.Conclusion: EBCT scanning is very valuable in diagnosis,tumor staging and evaluating resectability of ovarian carcinoma.
