Name | Role of Grey Scale and Color Doppler Ultrasound In Benign and Malignant Adnexal Masses |
Description | Research article The name of the department(s) and institution(s) to which the work should be attributed: ABSTRACT: The diagnosis of adnexal masses is a common clinical problem. An adnexal mass may be benign or malignant, it is the risk of malignancy that propels us for early diagnosis to lessen the mortality and morbidity. The aim of the study was to evaluate the patients with adnexal masses and to assess the role of ultrasound for discrimination of benign and malignant adnexal masses. This is a prospective study of 100 patients. All the patients with suspected adnexal mass underwent both real time grey scale and Doppler imaging. On ultrasound the lesions were classified as benign or malignant and all patients underwent surgery. Findings were then confirmed and sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of ultrasound was obtained. Using sonomorphological and Doppler parameters it was observed that malignant neoplasm offered low resistance to blood flow, measured by resistance index by RI and pulsatility index i.e. PI. The present study showed that malignant tumors has PI less than 1 and RI less than 0.6,while in benign tumors PI and RI both were in the range of 1-1.5. Our study showed sensitivity of 84.20% and specificity of 96.30%.Thus the combined result of grey scale and Doppler imaging play an important role in discrimination of benign and malignant adnexal masses. |
