Sonographic detection and evaluation of congenital anomalies of the uterus represent an important segment in the additional therapeutic procedure, that is, treatment of patients with congenital anomalies of the uterus. Besides the primary reason that is manifested in the total cure of the patients, the secondary reason represents the decrease of costs of treatment of congenital anomalies of the...

OBJECTIVES To determine the diagnostic performance of transrectal ultrasound in virgin patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, compared with conventional transvaginal ultrasound assessment. METHODS Ultrasound examinations were performed in 963 Korean women, with transvaginal transducers in 677 women and transrectal transducers ...

OBJECTIVE To monitor the effects of raloxifene therapy on the uterus of postmenopausal women by transvaginal ultrasonography and color flow Doppler. METHODS Twenty-five healthy postmenopausal women were enrolled in this prospective longitudinal study performed at Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto. The patients were treated with raloxifene hydrochlo...

Knowledge of the nature of ovarian lesions is important in order to establish the correct treatment and, especially, to detect ovarian cysts that do not require surgical treatment. With the purpose of demonstrating the utility of transvaginal sonography with colour Doppler of ovarian functional ovarian cysts, 378 ovarian tumours were studied, comparing sonographic diagnosis with pathological fi...

The advances in reproductive technologies have changed the demographics of multifetal pregnancies. In the first trimester, ultrasound allows to diagnose the number of multiples, chorionicity and amnionicity, the presence or absence of nuchal translucency, early growth discordance, severe malformations and the origin of activities and contacts between multiples. In the second and third trimester...

background: ovarian functional cyst is one of the most common pelvic mass in reproductive age which mostly resolves spontaneously. sonography is a valuable tool for diagnosis of benign cyst with high accuracy. the objective of this cross sectional study was to evaluate the accuracy of transvaginal sonography in detecting type of ovarian cyst and compare the results wieh cytological results. mat...

Transvaginal and transabdominal ultrasound evaluation of the uterine cervix were compared in a study of 186 pregnant women. An empty bladder made transabdominal ultrasound measurement of the cervix more difficult, while bladder filling resulted in significant lengthening of the transabdominal cervical measurement. In contrast, transvaginal ultrasound cervical measurement was possible in all but...

The diagnostic ultrasound was considered safe after the intensity threshold was known and the output intensity (Ispta) was regulated to be less than 10 mW/cm2 in diagnostic devices in Japan, and diagnostic ultrasound was thought safe in USA when both thermal index (TI) and mechanical index were less than 1.0 in the obstetrical setting. Simple B-mode machine was not concerned from the thermal re...
