The quantitative assessment of the cervix is crucial for the estimation of pre-term delivery risk and the prediction of the success of labor induction. We conducted a cross-sectional study using shear wave elastography based on the supersonic shear imaging technique. The shear wave speed (SWS) of the lower anterior part of the cervix was quantified over an 8-mm region of interest in 157 pregnant women. Cervical SWS is slightly but significantly reduced in patients diagnosed with pre-term labor and in patients who actually delivered pre-term.
宫颈的定量评估对于早产风险评估和引产成功率预测至关重要。我们基于超声剪切波成像技术,采用剪切波弹性成像进行了一项横断面研究。在157名孕妇的宫颈前下部8毫米感兴趣区域对剪切波速度(SWS)进行了量化。诊断为早产的患者以及实际早产的患者,其宫颈SWS略有降低但差异有统计学意义。
