Forty patients on the gynecologic oncology service at the University of North Carolina were evaluated with CT scans. Accuracy and clinical benefit of these scans were compared to those of manual clinical examinations. The CT scans were generally superior and had fewer (9) verified errors in the regions of the pelvic wall and para-aortic area than did the manual examinations (17). Both the CT and bimanual examinations had the same number of verified errors (3) in the central pelvic region. The authors found the CT scans to be beneficial in evaluation of pelvic wall and para-aortic regions for treatment planning of either primary or recurrent cancer.
北卡罗来纳大学妇科肿瘤科室的40名患者接受了CT扫描评估。这些扫描的准确性和临床益处与手动临床检查的准确性和临床益处进行了比较。CT扫描总体上更优，在盆腔壁和主动脉旁区域的已证实错误比手动检查（17处）更少（9处）。CT扫描和双合诊检查在盆腔中央区域的已证实错误数量相同（3处）。作者发现CT扫描有助于评估盆腔壁和主动脉旁区域，用于原发性或复发性癌症的治疗规划。
