Heavy menstrual bleeding, dysmenorrhea and subfertility are common symptoms that are associated with adenomyosis. However, diagnosing adenomyosis remains challenging, leading to insufficient treatment options. Angiogenesis plays a pivotal r…

Uterine disorders are often presented with overlapping symptoms. The microvasculature holds specific information important for diagnosing uterine disorders. Conventional sonography is an established diagnostic technique in gynecology, but i…

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has the ability to visualise the microvasculature by means of intravascular contrast agents. The clinical added value of CEUS has been established in liver, kidney and cardiac imaging, but its value in gy…

We evaluated the additional value of elastography in addition to conventional gray-scale ultrasound, for diagnosing uterine fibroids and adenomyosis. We performed a prospective cohort study with MRI as a reference test. Random stored cinelo…

The aim of this study was to test the reproducibility of elastography in the diagnosis of uterine abnormalities. We performed a prospective case control study with MRI as a reference test. Twenty premenopausal woman with the diagnosis intra…

OBJECTIVES: Sonoelastography is an ultrasound-imaging technique that measures tissue strain. The aim of this study was to define, in a systematic manner, specific sonoelastographic characteristics of the myometrium, fibroids and adenomyosis…

Sono-elastography is an imaging technique added to sonography, measuring tissue strain. The aim of this study is to systematically define specific sono-elastographic characteristics of the myometrium, fibroids and adenomyosis and evaluate t…
