Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Transvaginal sonography is an established method for numerous clinical indications in the assessment of endometrium pathology. The investigation of the endometrium consists of the measurement of the thickness, the visualization of the echogenity and echotexture and of the demonstration of focal masses. However, evaluation of the uterine cavity by transvaginal sonography is limited and an abnormal ultrasound of the endometrium may reflect benign or malignant conditions. Furthermore, small structures can be missed or overlooked. If indicated, hydrosonography offers various advantages compared to dilatation and curettage and hysteroscopy in terms of costs, availability and risks. Additional informations obtained after hydrosonography may influence the management before consideration of curettage or hysteroscopy. |
