Özet
Objective To determine and compare the diagnostic accuracy of 3-dimensional ultrasound (3D US) and magnetic resonance imagining (MRI) in patients with surgically diagnosed Mullerian duct anomaly (MDA). Study design Charts of patients with MDA were retrospectively evaluated. Patients who underwent both laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery and had 3D US and MRI examinations were included in the study. The diagnoses achieved via 3D US and MRI were compared with the surgical diagnoses to determine the diagnostic accuracy of these imagining techniques. Results Twenty-nine patients were included in the study. Three-dimensional ultrasound detected 28 out of 29 (96%) patients correctly. Only one patient was diagnosed with a uterine septum instead of uterine arcuatus. Magnetic resonance imaging detected 23 out of 29 patients correctly (79%). The Kappa indexes of the 3D US and MRI were 0.896 and 0.592, respectively. Conclusion Our results indicate that 3D US has a higher diagnostic accuracy level than MRI in evaluating MDA, especially when used in experienced hands. However, additional, well-designed studies are needed to better compare the diagnostic accuracy of the 3D US and MRI. © 2015 Published by Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
