Abstract

Objective To analyze diagnostic value of CT and MRI for ectopic pregnancy and to provide the reference for clinical imaging. Methods The research duration extended from March, 2011 to March, 2015, 11 patients with ectopic pregnancy were selected as research subjects, the way of randomized controlled trial was applied to conduct grouping research, CT scan examination was controlled with MRI examination diagnosis in order to acquire typical imaging signs and clinical diagnosis rate of ectopic pregnancy. Results Imaging signs of CT scan and MRI examinations on patients with ectopic pregnancy involved parametrial cystic, change in cystic solid or masses of soft tissue with uneven density. Characteristics are manifested with pelvic hemorrhage or internal hemorrhage lesions of masses. Conclusion Patients with ectopic pregnancy who fail to be diagnosed clinically via ultrasonography may choose CT examination or MRI examination, both of which are important approaches of supplementary examination, accurate diagnosis of MRI on obsolete or subacute haemorrhage is better than that of CT examination and ultrasonography examination.
