Assessment of the diagnostic efficacy of abdominal ultrasonography and cine magnetic resonance imaging in detecting abdominal adhesions: A double-blind research study

European Journal of Radiology Apr 17, 2020

Yasemin A, et al. - The present study was conducted to ascertain utility and safety of abdominal ulrasonography and cine-MRI by a double-blind study in the diagnosis of intraabdominal organs and abdominal wall adhesions in patients with previous abdominal operations. A total of 108 consecutive patients were prospectively included Between 2017 and 2019 [the mean age was 53.0 ± 10.3 years, body mass index was 30.4 ± 3.4, male (52.8 %) and female (47.2 %)]. During AU and cine-MRI, visceral slide and induced visceral slide were assessed. Researchers created an abdominal map consisting of nine segments to document the location and extent of the adhesion. They compared AU, c-MRI and intraoperative findings. The mean age was 53.0 ± 10.3 years, body mass index was 30.4 ± 3.4, male (52.8 %) and female (47.2 %). As per the results, the AU and c-MRI were found to be accurate for diagnosing adhesions in patients undergoing repeated surgery and may have a place on planning elective laparoscopic or open surgery to avoid bowel injury.
