Table 4. Absolute differences between radiological and pathological diameters, and frequencies of underestimated and overestimated measurements by each imaging technique.
Imaging technique | Difference between radiological and pathological diameters (mm) | Underestimated measurements | Overestimated measurements |
---|---|---|---|
Ultrasonography (n=56) | 25.0±18.7 | 48 (86%) | 8 (14%) |
CT-scan (n=47) | 8.4±9.9 | 36 (77%) | 11 (23%) |
MRI (n=30) | 16.7±11.6 | 24 (80%) | 6 (20%) |
Differences are expressed as means ± standard deviation.
