The relative specificity of CDS versus conventional TVS was assessed in 96 women with surgically excised and pathologically examined pelvic masses. In general, CDS was more specific than TVS in 43% of cases, both were equally specific in 41%, neither was more specific in 10%, and TVS was more specific than CDS in 6%. In particular, CDS seemed to be most specific in detecting ovarian malignancies, ovarian torsion, and ectopic pregnancy. The positive and negative predictive values of CDS were higher in postmenopausal women than in premenopausal women. The use of CDS as an adjunct to TVS is supported by the data from this study.
