“…Only three small series of primary ovarian tumors have been published (1,14,18) where the accuracy of CT has been reported and compared with ultrasound. Raskin (14), in a series of 17 ovarian tumors, reported a correct CT diagnosis in 9 and a correct ultrasound report in 14.…”

The accuracy of contrast-enhanced computer tomography (CT) of the pelvis in the detection, characterization and staging of known or suspected pelvic tumors was compared with clinical and operative findings in a prospective study of 79 patients (25 cervical carcinomas, 27 endometrial carcinomas, 10 ovarian carcinomas, 4 vulval or vaginal carcinomas and 13 benign ovarian or uterine tumors). In cervical carcinoma, there was a tendency towards lower staging of the tumor, especially in stage IIa, which is not easily detected in CT. Even small tumors of the cervix and endometrium can be visualized by contrast enhancement, which clearly delineates heavily vascularized myometrium and less enhancing tumor tissue. The accuracy of CT in tumor detection, characterization and evaluation of spread was best in ovarian neoplasms, weakest in cervical carcinomas. The importance of proper CT technique is stressed.

“…In the last decade, ultrasound and computed tomogra phy were found to be more effective screen ing techniques for the presence of masses and the evaluation of their architecture [3]. However, a common problem is the deter mination of the origin of a mass.…”
