Transabdominal Ultrasonographic Evaluation of Pelvic Masses and Comparsion with Transvaginal Ultrasonography

Abstract

Results: Majority (47.5%) of the lesions were of uterine origin as per USG sites. Transabdominal USG diagnosis showed 28.75% of lesions to be originating from ovaries. Transvaginal USG diagnosis depicted 48.64% of fibroid cases. Transabdominal ultrasound had a sensitivity of 92.00% and a specificity of 100% in diagnosing fibroid. It showed an overall sensitivity of 93.34% and specificity of 100%. In diagnosis of ovarian lesions, Ultrasonography by using IOTA scoring system showed 98.45% sensitivity and 100% specificity. Conclusion: Transabdominal sonography has proved to be a very useful highly diagnostic and a reliable method with good sensitivity and specificity.
