Objective: To asses the accuracy of two-dimensional saline infusion sonohysterography (2D SIS) office hysteroscopy in evaluation of uterine cavity in infertile patients. Patients and Methods: 100 patients with suspected uterine lesion were recruited in the study. Suspected uterine lesion was based on the history, clinical examination or previous investigations suggesting uterine cavity abnormal...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the performance of simultaneous endometrial aspiration at the time of sonohysterography for screening postmenopausal women at risk for endometrial cancer. METHODS A retrospective cohort study of women older than 50 years who underwent saline-infusion sonohysterography for the evaluation of their endometrium. On completion of imaging, the remaining intracavitary saline an...

BACKGROUND Transvaginal ultrasound is used conventionally as initial investigation of patients with abnormal uterine bleeding but saline contrast sonohysterography is a better technique to reliably distinguish focal from diffuse endometrial lesions. This study was performed to compare the ability of transvaginal ultrasonography and saline infusion sonohysterography as initial modality for the d...

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 ...

Saline infusion sonohysterography has been employed to evaluate the uterine cavity prior to commencement of assisted conception.Intra-uterine lesions play an important role in the outcome of assisted conception procedures. A descriptive retrospective study of 760 patients who had saline infusion sonohysterography prior to assisted conception, between January 2008 and December, 2010. Forty-six p...

background: transvaginal ultrasound is one of the most common means to examine endometrial cavity lesions although its negative results are more valuable. saline sonohysterography can reduce the number of false negative rates of endometrial lesions diagnoses in tamoxifen consumers. the objective of this study was to determine the diagnostic values of saline infusion sonohysterography (sis) and ...

INTRODUCTION Hysteroscopy is considered the 'gold standard' procedure in assessing uterine pathology however it is more expensive and invasive method than ultrasonography. An alternative to the diagnostic hysteroscopy is sonohysterography. AIM To evaluate the usefulness of sonohysterography in detecting endometrial polyps in female patients diagnosed with infertility. MATERIAL AND METHODS W...

Technology: Sonohysterography Use: With this technique, a refinement of transvaginal ultrasound imaging, saline is infused into the uterine cavity to enhance the imaging of the endometrium. The procedure was initiated because of the low sensitivity and specificity of transvaginal ultrasound for detecting endometrial pathology. In addition, the cost, inconvenience and radiation exposure associat...

BACKGROUND Abnormal uterine bleeding is a common presentation of uterine abnormalities among premenopausal and postmenopausal women. OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare the diagnostic accuracy of saline contrast sonohysterography and hysteroscopy for detecting the cause of abnormal uterine bleeding. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 65 women with abnormal uterine bleeding were enrolled in this...
