“…8 Computed Topography is the preferred investigation in planning additional administration among patients with metastatic disease as well as it also enables to comprehensively evaluate the primary tumor and the site of lymphadenopathy and peritoneal metastasis so the ovarian masses can be distinguished and features concerning the malignancy and benignity can be observed 8 . One study performed in Pakistan 9 showed specificity and sensitivity of CT scan in detection of ovarian masses as 86.7 and 92 % respectively, while another study from India 10 showed specificity of CT scan in detection of ovarian malignancy as 46.2%. Petru et al 11 studied 175 patients suspected of having an ovarian mass found 70% sensitivity.…”

“…Contrast enhanced computed tomography is commonly available noninvasive and useful diagnostic investigation to detect ovarian cancer. Various studies in literature showed marked differences [9][10][11] in results of sensitivity and specificity of CT scan in the detection of ovarian cancer. These variations give strong rationale to conduct this study in our population to detect diagnostic accuracy of CT scan in clinically suspected ovarian cancer patients.…”

Background: In the gynecologic malignancies, ovarian cancer is the 2 nd most common and a big cause of the mortality. Contrast-enhanced CT is a recent imaging technique of choice in preoperative assessment of ovarian cancer. Objective: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of contrast enhanced computed tomography of abdomen and pelvis in detection of ovarian cancer in clinically suspected patients by using histopathology as gold standard. Study Design: Cross-Sectional Study.

BACKGROUND Ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice for the female pelvis. It can determine the organ or site of abnormality and provide a diagnosis or short differential diagnosis. Doppler sonography helps to assess normal and pathologic blood flow. Present study was done at our tertiary care center to study the role of USG and computed tomography (CT) scan in evaluation of female pelvic pathology and to assess the merits and demerits of USG and computed tomography (CT) scan over each other in characterizing pelvic pathology. METHODS 100 patients were selected for study. All patients with female pelvic pathology were included in my study. Computed tomography (CT) and USG characteristics of different lesions were noted and recorded. RESULTS Most common age of presentation of endometrial pathology was between 50 to 70 years, cervical pathology between 40 to 49 years and ovarian pathology between 50 to 59 years. Out of 100 patients, 45 patients were having cervical cancer. 30 patients were having ovarian cancer and 18 patients were having endometrial cancer. 2 cases of fibroid, 2 cases of GTN and 3 cases of simple cyst were also noted. CONCLUSIONS Ultrasonography is usually the first imaging modality in evaluation of female patients suspected to have pelvic pathology. Computed tomography is the superior diagnostic imaging modality compared to USG prior to treatment. It improved detection and characterization of tumour which contribute to better diagnostic accuracy.
