What are the novel findings of this work? Fusion of computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound images is feasible in patients with suspicion of ovarian or peritoneal cancer. It can improve the accuracy, as compared with surgical findings, of both CT and ultrasound alone in the preoperative mapping of pelvic and abdominal disease.
What are the clinical implications of this work?Improved preoperative evaluation of the extent of intra-abdominal disease in ovarian cancer patients by fusion imaging compared with CT (and ultrasound alone) should facilitate treatment planning.
