Abstract

Objective To investigate clinical value of ultrasound in the diagnosis and treatment of ectopic pregnancy.Methods The clinical data of 118 patients with ectopic pregnancy confirmed by operation and histopathological examination from October 2011 to December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients received transabdominal color Doppler ultrasound and transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound before operation,and the accuracy rate of diagnosis and detection rate of imaging findings were compared between two inspection methods.Results The diagnosis accuracy rate of transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound was 98.3% of ectopic pregnancy,16.1% of primitive cardiovascular pulsation,24.6% of embryo,97.5% of pelvic effusion,99.2% of attachment region mass,and 19.5% of intrauterine pregnancy sac;all the diagnosis accuracy rates of transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound were higher than those of transabdominal color Doppler ultrasound(78.8%,6.8%,8.5%,79.7%,82.2%,5.9% respectively);All P 0.05.Conclusions Transabdominal color Doppler ultrasound and transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound are effective methods in the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy,but the diagnostic accuracy rate of transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound examination is higher.
