Preoperative assessment of submucous fibroids by three-dimensional saline contrast sonohysterography

I-34: Comparison between Hysteroscopy and Sonohysterography in Uterine Cavity Assessment

Intrauterine pathologies have been shown to be present in 25% of infertile patients.Structural abnormalities of the uterine endometrial cavity may affect the reproductive outcome adversely, by interfering with the implantation or causing spontaneous abortion. Intrauterine abnormalities may visualize using a variety of techniques. Including hysterosalpingography (HSG), transvaginal sonography (T...

Saline infusion sonohysterography

Saline infusion sonohysterography (SIS) is the term for ultrasound imaging of the uterine cavity, using sterile saline solution as a negative contrast medium. It imitates the clarity and exquisite definition of the uterine cavity afforded by amniotic fluid during pregnancy. In principle, any clear liquid could be used to define surfaces. However, sterile saline is inexpensive, easily available ...

Evaluation of Intrauterine Structural Pathology by Three-Dimensional Sonohysterography Using An Extended Imaging Method

Müllerian duct anomalies diagnosed by saline contrast sonohysterography: prevalence in a general population.

OBJECTIVE To estimate the prevalence of uterine müllerian duct anomalies in a general population. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING University hospital in collaboration with the Danish Civil Registry. PATIENT(S) A total of 1,654 women randomly recruited from a general population; 686 women were eligible and accepted inclusion (429 pre- and 257 postmenopausal). Saline contrast sonohyst...

Color Doppler sonohysterography of endometrial polyps and submucosal fibroids.

OBJECTIVE To describe the typical sonographic findings and clinical applications of color Doppler sono-hysterography and to correlate the vascularity of lesions seen on color Doppler sonohysterography to microvessel density and the presence of vessels greater than 0.5 mm. METHODS Color Doppler sonohysterography was performed on 25 women with abnormal uterine bleeding. The vascularity (number ...
