Specificity and Sensitivity of Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance imaging in Uterine Anomalies
Main Article Content
Abstract
To estimate the specificity and sensitivity of two - dimensional Ultrasound for diagnosing Uterine anomalies and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Ultrasound has 90 % sensitivity and 98 % specificity in detecting uterine anomalies. MRI has 100 % has 100 %sensitivity and 100 % specificity in detecting uterine anomalies. Patients with uterine anomalies present with Primaryamenorrhoea, infertility, menorrhagia, secondary amenorrhoea, repeated miscarriages and pelvic pain. Most common age at the presentation of symptoms is 21-30 yrs followed by 11 -20 yrs, 41-50 yrs and 31-40 yrs respectively. USG has only 12.5 % sensitivity in detecting unicornuate uterus, but in case of other uterine anomalies it has a good sensitivity. Thus MRI is considered better in diagnosing uterine anomalies and all those cases diagnosed with ultrasound and MRI were correlated with hysteroscopy and lap surgery.
