Appearance of cervical lesions in transvaginal real-time elastography / 中华超声影像学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the features of cervical lesions on real-time elastography.Methods The elastograms of cervical lesions were analyzed and all of them were evaluated by improved elastographic strain scores,which were classified into 5,and by strain ratio,with pathologic analysis as the reference standard.Results The elasticity scores of all normal cervixes were 1.The score of 95 ％ of benign lesions was not more than 2,the strain ratios of benign lesions were 0.75 ± 0.32.The score of 90％ of the cervical cancer was not less than 3,the strain ratios of 38 malignant lesions were 3.31 ± 1.47.There were significant difference between benign lesions and malignant lesions in elastic scores and elastic strain ratios (P ＜0.001).Conclusions There are some typical features of different cervical lesions on elastography.
