Diagnostic efficacy of endovaginal color Doppler flow imaging in an ectopic pregnancy screening program.
Radiology 1992 May
The authors compared the diagnostic yield of endovaginal color and pulsed Doppler ultrasound (US) in conjunction with endovaginal sonography with that of endovaginal sonography alone in patients prescreened to be at increased risk for ectopic pregnancy. Pelvic structures were evaluated for overall vascularity and for the presence of characteristic pulsed Doppler US velocity waveforms. The diagnostic sensitivity of the initial endovaginal sonographic examination increased with the addition of color and pulsed Doppler US, from 71% to 87% for ectopic pregnancy, from 24% to 59% for failed intrauterine pregnancy, and from 90% to 99% for viable intrauterine pregnancy. Specificities for endovaginal sonography with color and pulsed Doppler US ranged from 99% to 100%. Use of endovaginal color and pulsed Doppler US increased the percentage of diagnostic initial sonographic examinations from 62% to 82%. The improved diagnostic sensitivity of endovaginal color Doppler US for ectopic pregnancy may ultimately result in earlier treatment, with reduced morbidity and mortality.
