Adenomyosis: prospective comparison of MR imaging and transvaginal sonography.
Abstract
PURPOSE: To prospectively compare conventional spin-echo magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and transvaginal sonography for the diagnosis of adenomyosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty women with clinically suspected adenomyosis underwent MR imaging and transvaginal sonography performed within 3 months of each other. Pathologic proof was obtained in all cases. RESULTS: Seventeen patients were proved to have adenomyosis. The correct diagnosis was achieved with MR imaging in 15 of 17 cases. One false-positive and two false-negative diagnoses were made with MR imaging. With transvaginal sonography, nine of 17 cases of adenomyosis were correctly diagnosed. One false-positive and eight false-negative diagnoses occurred. The most frequent cause of false-negative diagnoses with transvaginal sonography was the misinterpretation of adenomyosis as leiomyomas (seven cases). CONCLUSION: MR imaging is significantly better (P < .02) than transvaginal sonography in the diagnosis of adenomyosis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
