Computed tomography of malignant ovarian disease.
One hundred and five patients with proven malignant ovarian disease were examined with one or more abdomino-pelvic CT scans in order to evaluate clinically suspected recurrence, complete clinical remission, or the effect of therapy. The findings obtained at CT were compared with follow-up examinations including surgery in 85 patients within 3 months. CT was accurate in the evaluation of therapeutic response, but if negative not reliable enough to replace a laparotomy of patients with possible recurrence or in clinical remission.
