To illustrate the detection of extrauterine pathology not related to ovarian disease nor deep infiltrating endometriosis in women undergoing transvaginal gynecological ultrasonography. We present a series of 20 illustrative cases detected a…

To compare ultrasonographic features of uterine lesions with the findings at macroscopy and microscopy. Case series of 10 consecutive women undergoing a hysterectomy for uterine pathology. A preoperative transvaginal ultrasound examination …

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…

In multicentre studies, measurements will vary between centres for various reasons (e.g. subjectivity of measurements, differences in equipment, deviations from the protocol and differences in patient populations). The aim of this interim a…

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…

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,…

Focal adenomyosis may be missed by the pathologist at examination of the hysterectomy specimen. In this report we suggest a new method allowing in vitro, ultrasound guided localization of adenomysosis lesions prior to anatomo-pathological e…

To review the currently available literature regarding the role of ultrasonography in the management of uterine fibroids. Literature review of articles concerning the conservative treatment of uterine fibroids. Ultrasound examination allows…

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…

Accurate prediction of the extent of distal bowel involvement in case of deep endometriosis could help in the planning of surgery: if the endometriotic lesion does superficially (only serosa) involve the bowel wall, conventional operative (…

The aim of a gynecological ‘one-stop bleeding clinic’ is to identify the cause of the bleeding and, if possible, to exclude endometrial carcinoma. Most of these outpatient clinics are based on the use of transvaginal sonography (TVS) with e…

Although (sub)echogenic foci are common, especially after term pregnancy (T.Van den Bosch et al., Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol 2003; 22 (suppl 1):146–7), their histological correlate is not well established. Some authors hypothesized that smal…
