To compare MR and US imaging for uterine fibroid measurement Eighteen women undergoing hysterectomy for symptomatic fibroids underwent preoperative pelvic US and MR imaging. Resected fibroids were correlated with the images. Weighted kappa agreement statistics and Spearman correlations for patient characteristics were calculated. MR imaging identified 121 of 151 pathologically-confirmed fibroids, yielding 91% positive predictive value (PPV) (95%CI: 85%,95%) and 80% sensitivity (95%CI: 73%,86%). PPV and sensitivity for US were 97% (95%CI: 89%,100%) and 40% (95%CI: 32%,48%), respectively. Mean diameter-equivalent discrepancies between imaging and pathological measurements were 0.51±0.68 cm for MRI and 0.76±0.88 cm for US. Kappa statistics comparing imaging to pathology showed better agreement for MR than US (k=0.60 vs. 0.36). The number of fibroids detected by MR imaging predicted measurement errors (r=0.76; p=0.0002). Superior sensitivity and minimal measurement discrepancies suggest MR imaging should be preferentially utilized for assessing fibroids in clinical research studies.
