Preliminary Research on the Application of Virtual Touch Tissue Quantification in the Myometrium Lesions

Objective To conduct a preliminary research on the value of applying virtual touch tissue quantification(VTQ) in the assessment of myometrium lesions.Methods VTQ technology was used to examine myometrium lesions of 78 cases of uterine fibroids,16 cases of uterine adenomyosis and 83 cases of normal uterus wall.Measurement values were recorded and statistical analysis was performed.Results VTQ means of uterine fibroids and denomyosis are respectively 3.58 ± 0.76 and 3.53 ± 1.08,which are significantly greater than that of normal uterus wall of 2.84 ± 0.89(P0.05).Conclusion The VTQ showed that the hardness of myometrium lesions of uterine fibroids and adenomyosis had increased significantly compared with those of normal uterus wall,indicating that there is value of applying VTQ in uterine muscle wall lesions.
