  • Title: [Evaluation of the value of ultrasound in the diagnosis of gynecologic tumors].
    Author: Saks A, Japelj I, Zitnik B.
    Journal: Jugosl Ginekol Opstet; 1983; 23(3-4):58-61. PubMed ID: 6664100.
    Abstract:
    The value of ultrasound (US) is analysed by means of ROC-curves (receiver operating curves) taking into consideration both the sensitivity and specificity of the method, as well as the prevalence of particular tumours in the examined group. US diagnosis is compared with clinical and surgical findings. The authors have found that the degree of reliability achieved by either the clinical or the US method of diagnosing myomas is almost the same. In the diagnosis of benign cysts and carcinomas, however, US has more advantages.
