[Value of sonography and computerized tomography in pelvic tumors in the female. Prospective comparative study of 132 surgically treated pelvic space-occupying lesions].
Clinical examination, ultrasonography and computed sonography were compared in a prospective study to establish their relative value in the diagnosis of space-occupying lesions in the female pelvis; 132 surgically excised lesions were examined with reference to the preoperative diagnoses made by all three methods. In the case of tumors of the ovary, the fallopian tubes and the corpus uteri, ultrasonography and computed tomography were found to yield information of approximately equal diagnostic value with reference to the site and extent of the tumor, the organ or organs affected and the consistency of the tumor. The two procedures were significantly more accurate than clinical examination, and to some extent they proved to complement each other. In contrast, computer tomography and ultrasonography proved to be inferior to clinical examination in the detection of tumors of the cervix.
