Abstract :
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.
