In 2015, the international Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) group published a consensus on which terminology to use when describing myometrial lesions seen on ultrasonography1. The use of MUSA terminology to describe ultra…
Transvaginal ultrasonography has become the primary test in the diagnosis of pelvic endometriosis and adenomyosis. A review of the literature on the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography in pelvic endometriosis and adenomyosis, as well as …
OBJECTIVE: To compare ultrasonographic features of uterine lesions with the findings at macroscopy and microscopy. METHODS: Case series of ten consecutive women undergoing a hysterectomy for uterine pathology. A preoperative transvaginal u…
The use of in vitro three-dimensional ultrasound examination with needle stereotaxis after hysterectomy is illustrated in a case of extensive adenomyosis. The quality of the images at in vitro ultrasonography was compared with the quality o…
The IDEA (International Deep Endometriosis Analysis group) statement is a consensus opinion on terms, definitions and measurements that may be used to describe the sonographic features of the different phenotypes of endometriosis. Currently…
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to find the best 3D reconstruction technique to visualize the endometrial-myometrial junction (EMJ). METHODS: Retrospective observational study on 240 stored 3D volumes of 80 patients. The first author…
In laparoscopy, specimens have to be removed from the abdominal cavity. If the trocar opening or the vaginal outlet is insufficient to pass the specimen, the specimen needs to be reduced. The power morcellator is an instrument with a fast r…
The MUSA (Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment) statement is a consensus statement on terms, definitions and measurements that may be used to describe and report the sonographic features of the myometrium using gray-scale sonography,…
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the diagnostic accuracy and interobserver agreement in predicting intracavitary uterine pathology at offline analysis of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound volumes of the uterus. METHODS: 3D volumes (unenhanced ultras…
We evaluated the implementation of a strict procedure for endometrium biopsy, including pre-sampling ultrasound examination and assessment of the tissue yield during sampling, in 257 consecutive women with abnormal bleeding. The tissue yiel…
