Cervical Cancer Diagnosis Improves Accuracy with Biophilia Intruder
Cervical Cancer Diagnosis Improves Accuracy with Biophilia Intruder
Today, NLS-diagnostics in gynecology, using all modern diagnostic methods and equipment with high-resolution capabilities, is the leading diagnostic method. However, the question of NLS graphic assessment of cervical status has not been raised. Among the available resources, studies on cervical NLS angiography are lacking. Previous examination of cervical condition was not considered a target of NLS research, as bimanual vaginal examination and mirror examination allowed therapists to obtain fairly accurate information. Today, due to the rapid development of computer technology, NLS diagnosis using the Biophilia Intruder scanner is characterized by three-dimensional information acquisition and analysis, which has led to modifications of old diagnostic methods. Therefore, this is the purpose of our study: to evaluate the potential of a 3D NLS study versus a 2D study in cervical tumor examination, its extension and the comparison of this data with MRI data. Analysis of the data obtained showed that 3D NLS imaging was approximately twice as informative as 2D NLS imaging in assessing vaginal and myometrial invasion. We believe that, in many cases, 3D NLS angiography data can be more informative and closer to the diagnosis of the disease, leading to the selection of patient management strategies.
Taking a comprehensive analysis of all the acquired 3D NLS data, we concluded that this approach could increase the correct rate of disease staging from 57% to 88%. Three-dimensional examination plays a major role in stages IIB and IIIA, when the tumor size and expansion are not too large. In advanced stages, symptoms such as hydroureter, hydronephrosis, and bladder infection can even be used to determine the stage of the disease with considerable precision by two-dimensional studies, although the boundaries and size of the tumor cannot be clearly visualized.
Based on the above research, we draw the following conclusions:
– Compared to 2D study data, 3D NLS imaging performed with REA increases the diagnostic value of the method for detection of parametrial, myometrial and vaginal invasion and stage IIV-IV disease.
– The application of 3D NLS imaging improved cervical cancer staging accuracy from 57% to 88%.
