ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To determine the efficacy of the angiographic indexes of 3D power Doppler angiography (3D-PDA) for the diagnosis of malignancy in complex ovarian masses.METHODS:
A prospective, observational study of 72 patients with complex adnexal mass.RESULTS:
In the morphological study, 3D ultrasound showed sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, PLHR and NLHR of 84.6%, 81.9%, 85.1%, 81.8%, 4.65 and 0.19. No differences in vascular indexes (VI, FI, VFI) between malignant and benign masses were found VI 5.38 (CI 95% 3.06-7.7) vs. 6.29 (CI 95% 4.41-8.17) (p = 0.53); FI 29.6 (CI 95% 25.17-34.08) vs. 33.8 (CI 95% 30.03-37.3) (p = 0.15); VFI 1.68 (CI 95% 0.94-2.42) vs. 2.37 (CI 95% 1.49-3.25) (p = 0.24). When analysed according to different stages, VI was higher in patients with more advanced stages of disease; 4.34 (95% CI 2.21-6.47) vs. 7.38 (95% CI 4.7-10.06) (p = 0.11). FI was significantly lower in patients with early stages of disease; FI 29.07 (95% CI 21.49-36.68) vs. 36.46 (95% CI 32.31-40.62) (p = 0.04). For VFI, differences were not significant, although there was a strong trend; VFI 1.47 (95% CI 0.67-2.28) vs. 2.86 (95% CI 1.57-4.16) (p = 0.11). 3D-PDA indexes were significantly higher in patients with positive adenopathies.CONCLUSION:
3D-PDA values increase progressively, but not significantly, with the stage of the disease.
