To compare the accuracy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) and transabdominal sonography (TAS) in the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy occurring in the fallopian tubal.Thirty-eight patients with ectopic pregnancy in the fallopian tube were examined by TAS with moderately filled bladder, followed by reexamination with TVS with the bladder emptied. The manifestations in the 2 imaging examinations were compared.TVS showed masses in 38, gestations in 23, heart beat in 10, pelvis fluid in 16 and circular blood signal in 25 cases respectively, while TAS identified masses in 30, gestations in 13, heart beat in 5, pelvis fluid in 14 and circular blood flow signal in 13 cases.TVS may offer an earlier, clearer and more exact diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy in the fallopian tube than TAS is capable of. |
