THE HIGH-FREQUENCY ULTRASONIC DIAGNOSIS OF ENDOMETRIOSIS IN ABDOMINAL WALL

Objective To explore the clinical value of applying high-frequency color Doppler ultrasound to the imaging diagnosis of abdominal endometriosis.Methods The manifestations of 27cases of abdominal endometriosis confirmed by operation and pathological methods were got from high-frequency 2Dultrasonic diagnosis and color Doppler diagnosis and were compared.Results The high-frequency 2Dultrasonic visualization discovered nodules at the different strata in abdominal walls,and the nodules had obscure boundary,irregular shapes and edges,showing mostly solid low level echo of heterogeneity and rear-attenuation and inner small echoless areas.The color Doppler revealed dot-like and streak-like blood flow signal around or in the nodules in 19cases.Conclusion High-frequency ultrasound can have important clinical value in diagnosing abdominal endometriosis.
