Pre-ablation detection of adenomyosis may be clinically helpful to decrease the risk of ablation failure and subsequent hysterectomy. Two-dimensional (2D) combined with three-dimensional (3D) Transvaginal sonography (TVS) may be able to imp…

Adenomyosis is a common but under-diagnosed gynecologic condition due to hypertrophied myometrial smooth muscle containing ectopic endometrial glands that is associated with pelvic pain, menorrhagia, and an enlarged uterus. This is an overv…

Sonohysterography (SHG) is an established method for detection of polyps, evaluation of submucosal intracavitary fibroids and adhesions as well as abnormal areas of endometrial thickening. This presentation will describe SHG findings for ev…

Ovarian remnants occur after a portion of ovarian tissue is left behind unintentionally after oophorectomy. The ovarian remnant may be functional and cystic, producing pelvic pain and, in some patients, extrinsic compression of the distal u…

The efficacy of medical therapy in endometriosis-associated infertility has been called into question. For decades, surgery has been used in the treatment of endometriosis. However, before the 1960s it consisted of either excision or hyster…

Transvaginal ultrasonography of the endometrium has become an important part of the evaluation of women presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding. It is noninvasive, low in cost, and widely available.1 As described by Langer et al. in this …

This review discusses and illustrates the many applications of transvaginal sonography in gynecology. TVS has improved the accuracy of evaluation of pelvic masses and affords a means for accurate guided aspiration. The accuracy of follicula…

Pelvic sonograms were performed every 2-3 days in 10 volunteers in order to study changes in thickness and texture that occur in the normal endometrium. A total of 75 sonograms were performed. The accuracy of sonographic estimates of endome…
