Abstract

In the research, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was used in order to study and diagnose ovarian tumour patients. A total of 80 cases of ovarian tumour patients who admitted to hospital in February 2014 to May 2016 were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups, with 40 cases in each group, namely; the experimental- and contrast group. The experimental group used NMR to diagnose whereas the contrast group utilized B-mode ultrasound in order to compare the character of masses and ascertain accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the clinical diagnostic afterwards. The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and characteristic of tumour masses in the experimental group was 95.84%, 94.75%, 90.92%, and 100%, respectively, which is apparently higher than the contrast group with 64.28%, 77.78%, 75.08%, and 70.83%, respectively. Both groups were found to be statistically significant different (p < 0.05). In comparison to NMR and ultrasound, former diagnostic method was better in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity which lead to significant detection and better diagnostic.
