Abstract
Background: Trans-vaginal ultrasound is the most widely used imaging method to screen women with cervical cancer and other cervical masses, due to its wide availability, low cost and no radiation.
Aim of the Work: The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the role of sono-elastography in differentiating benign from malignant cervical masses. Benign tumours are typically soft, but malignant ones are typically hard.
Patients and Methods: The study was carried out on thirty patients, who referred to Tanta Diagnostic Radiology and Medical Imaging Department, for evaluation of clinically suspected cervical masses, during the period from March 2018 till December 2020. Their age ranged from 37 years to 66 years with a mean age of 49.73 (±7.65 SD) years.
Results: This Prospective study was carried out on thirty patients, who referred to Diagnostic Radiology and Medical Imaging Department, for evaluation of clinically suspected cervical masses. Their age ranged from 37 years to 66 years old with a mean age of 49.73 years (±7.65 SD).
Conclusions: Transvaginal sonographic elastography is a promising diagnostic tool that can be used in combination with conventional sonography to distinguish malignant from benign endometrial lesions. Both qualitative and quantitative methods can be used to enhance elastography's diagnostic performance, and SR has showed excellent diagnostic performance.
