Tom Bourne: Ultrasound Can Reliably Assess Adnexal Lesions In Pregnancy
Tom Bourne, Chair in Gynaecology at Imperial College London and Co-Founder of Gynaia, shared a post on LinkedIn about a paper he co-authored with colleagues published in Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology:
“Ultrasound can reliably assess adnexal lesions in pregnancy.
DEs and BOTs can appear similar owing to their morphological overlap. Both BOTs and malignant lesions in pregnancy show morphology comparable with that in non-pregnant women, and IOTA models maintain a high negative predictive value for excluding malignancy in such cases.
Future research should refine diagnostic tools to improve the differentiation of benign from malignant cysts with solid components”
Title: Diagnostic imaging of adnexal lesions in pregnancy: systematic review
Authors: N. Cooper, N. Kotecha, A. Novak, J. Barcroft, J. Yazbek, C. Landolfo, M. Al-Memar, D. Timmerman, S. Saso, T. Bourne
