Uterine fibroids often cause symptoms of pelvic pain, pressure, and bleeding and a significant cause of morbidity for women of reproductive age. A new, Food and Drug Administration approved noninvasive treatment option is magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound surgery, which has the potential to become a treatment of choice for selected patients. The purpose of the study was to compare and evaluate the usefulness of MRI and transabdominal ultrasonography for the diagnosis of uterine fibroids. A cross sectional study was carried out in the department of Radiology & Imaging of Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, during the period of January' 2010 to December 2011. A total number of 40 consecutive patients having suspected uterine fibroids underwent MRI and transabdominal ultrasonography and they were followed up from the admission upto the tissue diagnosis of uterine fibroids for histopathological correlation were included in this study. The test of validity of MRI and transabdominal ultrasonography in diagnosis of uterine fibroids was calculated. In the diagnosis of uterine fibroids, USG was 88.2% sensitive, 66.7% specific, 85.0% accurate, 93.8% positive predictive values and 50% negative predictive values. However MRI was 97.1% sensitive, 83.3% specific, 95.0% accurate, 97.1% positive predictive values and 83.3% negative predictive values for prediction of uterine fibroids. The study shows that the MRI is more efficient diagnostic modality than transabdominal ultrasonography in detecting uterine fibroid presence and evaluation. |
