COMPARISON OF DOPPLER ULTRASONOGRAPHY AND MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING OF FIBROIDS
Journal Title: Kocatepe Medical Journal - Year 2022, Vol 23, Issue 1
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare Doppler ultrasonography (USG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of various characteristics of myomas, including size and growth. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This descriptive study was conducted on female patients admitted to a private gynecology clinic in Turkey. Doppler USG and MRI measurements of the patients were performed and the following indices were calculated: Diastolic average ratio (DAR), Systolic/diastolic ratio (SDR), End-diastolic velocity (EDV), Peak systolic velocity (PSV), Acceleration time (AT), Time-averaged mean velocity (Tmean), Impedance index (LML), Acceleration index (AI), Diastolic/systolic ratio (DSR), Resistivity index (RI), Pulsatility index (PI), Time-averaged maximum velocity (TAMX). These indices were evaluated in the whole study group and also among those older than 49 years. RESULTS: Doppler USG and MRI results of PSV, EDV, TAMX, Tort, PI, RI, SDR, AT, AI, DSR, LML, DAR indexes and tumor size change averages were found to be similar in both the study group and women older than 49 years. It was found that there were strong positive correlations between Doppler USG and MRI measurements of PSV, EDV, TAMX, Tort, PI, RI, SDR, AT, AI, DSR, LML, DAR indices and tumor size change among the women in the study group. CONCLUSIONS: The results found in the research revealed that Doppler USG is as convenient as MRI in the diagnosis of myomas.
