Abstract

Authors analysed the CT findings of 71 cases of uterine cervial carcinoma which were confirmed by operation orbiopsy during recent 4 years from June 1982 to May 1986 at the Department of Radiology, Seoul National University Hospital ot determine its value in evaluation of parametrial involvement. The results are as follows: 1. CT findings agreed with clinic opathologic finding in 111 cases out of total 142 parametria. The accuracy of CT was77.1%, sensitivity was 77.7%, specificity was 78.3%. 2. Prominent parametrial strands and obliteration of periureteral fat were the most common CT findings, present in 37 cases and 19 cases respectively. 3. As a new criteria of parametrial invasion in uterine cervical carcinoma, we found ligamental thickening around the uterinecervix in 12 cases out of 142 parametria.
