This study was planned to investigate whether measuring of Doppler indices with TV-DUS improved the diagnosis of adenomyosis. Preoperative Doppler indices of subjects with a preliminary diagnosis of adenomyosis were compared with the histopathological results of excised specimens. Sensitivity, specificity and positive/negative predictive values (PPV, NPV) of the measured indices were also calculated. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV and positive and negative likelihood ratios (LR+) and (LR-) of TV-US in the diagnosis of adenomyosis were found to be 70.8%, 62.1%, 40.4%, 85.4%, 1.96 and 0.47, respectively. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, LR + and LR - in the diagnosis of adenomyosis following the addition of TV-DUS were found to be 90%, 94.2%, 81.8%, 97%, 15.5 and 0.10, respectively. Concomitant use of TV-US and TV-DUS improved correct diagnosis of adenomyosis with high sensitivity.
