Abstract
- Objective: Shear-wave elastography (SWE) can be used to obtain quantitative information about tissue stiffness. This study compared SWE measurements of patients with adenomyosis, leiomyoma, and normal myometrium. Materials and Methods: This study included 56 women who were scheduled to undergo hysterectomy. Measurements of the uterine myometrium and leiomyomas, if any, of the patients were preoperatively collected through SWE. A total of 69 SWE measurements were included. Postoperatively, the patients were categorized according to the results of histopathologic examinations: group 1 included patients with normal myometrium; group 2 included those with adenomyosis; and group 3 included those with leiomyomas. The Emean values of the kPa obtained from the SWE measurements were compared with the histopathologic results. Results: The SWE measurements of groups 2 and 3 were significantly higher than those of group 1. There were no significant differences between groups 2 and 3 in mean SWE measurements. The success rate of SWE in differentiating normal myometrium and adenomyosis was 92%, with a sensitivity of 93.1% and a specificity of 82.1%. Conclusion: This study revealed that using ultrasound elastography to diagnose adenomyosis is successful in distinguishing that condition from normal myometrium, but SWE is not useful for distinguishing adenomyosis leiomyoma.
