Goedaardige ovarium cysten

Gynaecologische echografie is zeer betrouwbaar in het onderscheiden van goed- en kwaadaardige ovariumcysten. Het preoperatief onderscheid maken tussen de verschillende goedaardige ovariumcysten (bijv dermoid cyste, endometriose cyste of corpus lutheum cyste) is eveneens van groot klinisch belang. In hoofdstuk 5 wordt aan de hand van 406 patiënten onderzocht of de echografist in staat is de verschillende goedaardige cysten van het ovarium te onderscheiden op basis van de bevindingen tijdens de echo. Bovendien zijn de bevindingen van de echoscopist vergeleken met het model dat voor elke histologisch te onderscheiden goedaardige ovariumcyste is ontwikkeld door middel van een logistische regressie analyse op basis van de verschillende objectieve echografische kenmerken van de cysten.


Non-malignant ovarian cysts

TVU is highly accurate in the differentiation between non-malignant and malignant ovarian cysts. However, distinguishing the many different non-malignant ovarian cysts is relevant as well, especially since accurate treatment depends on the histological origin of the cyst. Therefore a prospective study to assess the performance of TVU in the differentiation of non-malignant ovarian cysts was performed (chapter 5). A total of 406 women with ovarian cysts without malignant features on TVU were included. In 60% of cases the sonographers was able to state the histopathological diagnosis accurately. Only in case of simple ovarian cysts the constructed logistic model performed better compared to the subjective assessment of the sonographer (accuracy 0.88 (95% CI: 0.85-0.91) versus 0.81 (95% CI: 0.77-0.84), p < 0.01). In case of dermoid (accuracy 0.84 (95% CI: 0.80-0.87) versus 0.71 (95% CI: 0.66-0.76), p < 0.01) and endometriotic ovarian cysts (accuracy 0.87 (95% CI: 0.84-0.90) versus 0.82 (95% CI: 0.78-0.86) the sonographer performed better. Histological examination of non-malignant ovarian cysts is warranted whenever treatment depends on the histological nature of the cyst (e.g. in sub fertility and assisted reproduction).

------------------------------------------
No problem Ton.

I would suggest however, that if you disagree with any contributions, that are after all posted in good faith, you should back up your disagree with a valid argument.

At the end of the day, a sonographer is KNOWN as a sonographer and not an ultrasound specialist (apologies to P) .

Just as a an obstetrician is known as an obstetrician not a \"pregnancy and childbirth specialist\"

Get my point?

If the asker\'s text is intended for the medical profession then I am sure they would expect a recognised Dutch medical term to be replaced by a recognised English medical term. ie. sonographer.

Have a good weekend.
