In order to evaluate the quality of ultrasound and gynecologic examination of the ovaries in women at risk for ovarian carcinoma, a group of 115 women all relatives to women with ovarian carcinoma, were examined. Although this small group of women was considered a risk group, no carcinoma was found. In premenopausal women 92% of the ovaries could be identified and measured using ultrasound. In postmenopausal women this figure was 87%, while only 30% could be identified at the gynecologic examination. This indicates that ultrasound examination of the ovaries is a much more reliable method for examining the ovary than gynecologic palpation.
为了评估卵巢癌高危女性的卵巢超声及妇科检查质量，对一组115名女性进行了检查，她们均为卵巢癌患者的亲属。尽管这一小群女性被视为高危人群，但未发现癌症。在绝经前女性中，92%的卵巢可通过超声识别和测量。在绝经后女性中，这一数字为87%，而在妇科检查中只有30%的卵巢可被识别。这表明，卵巢超声检查是一种比妇科触诊更可靠的卵巢检查方法。
