Comparison between transperineum and transabdominal color Doppler ultrasonography in pelvic varicosis / 中华超声影像学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the diagnostic value of transperineum color Doppler ultrasonography (TPCDU) and transabdominal color Doppler ultrasonography (TACDU) in pelvic varicosis (PV). Methods Thirty-eight patients with PV were detected by using TACDU and TPCDU separately, and the diagnostic value between the two ways was compared. Operational results was used as standard, and the degree of lesion in patients with PV was evaluated based on the results of surgery. Results The rate of diagnostic accuracy was high in both methods (TACDU 92% and TACDU 79%, separately). However, the rate of diagnostic accuracy and the site detectable were significantly higher by TPCDU than by TACDU (P
