Abstract:: Abstract: Objective To investigate the diagnostic values of transabdominal ultrasound and transvaginal ultrasound in early ectopic pregnancy. Methods The clinical data of 80 patients with early ectopic pregnancy were statistically analyzed, and the patients were divided into transvaginal ultrasound group (n=40) and transabdominal ultrasound group (n=40) according to their diagnostic methods. The positive rate of diagnosis and typical imaging features in two groups were statistically analyzed. Results The positive rate of diagnosis by transvaginal ultrasound was 92.5% (37/40), significantly higher than 77.5% (31/40) obtained by transabdominal ultrasound (P<0.05). The detection rates of the adnexal mass, pelvic effusion, intrauterine pseudogestational sac, embryo reflex, primitive cardiovascular beats were 95.0% (38/40), 92.5% (37/40), 17.5% (7/40), 22.5% (9/40) and 10.0% (4/40) in transvaginal ultrasound group, which were significantly higher than 82.5% (33/40), 67.5% (27/40), 5.0% (2/40), 5.0% (2/40) and 2.5% (1/40) in transabdominal ultrasound group (P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with transabdominal ultrasound, transvaginal ultrasound has higher clinical value in the diagnosis of early ectopic pregnancy.
