Noninvasive imaging of 4D electrical activation patterns of uterine peristalsis during normal menstrual cycles
·doi:10.1038/s44294-023-00003-x

Abstract Uterine peristalsis, characterized by spontaneous slow-wave contractions of the subendometrial layer of the uterine myometrium, occurs throughout the menstrual cycle. Disruptions in peristalsis patterns may occur in women experienc…

The use of transvaginal ultrasound alters physiologic uterine peristalsis in gynecologic participants
·doi:10.1016/j.xfre.2024.06.004

ObjectiveTo study whether transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) affected the uterine peristalsis (UP) patterns in nonpregnant participants.DesignInstitutional review board–approved, prospective observational cohort study. The noninvasive UP imagin…

Noninvasive electrophysiological imaging identifies 4D uterine peristalsis patterns in subjects with normal menstrual cycles and patients with endometriosis
Research square ·doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-2432192/v1

Throughout the menstrual cycle, spontaneous mild contractions in the inner layer of the uterine smooth muscle cause uterine peristalsis, which plays a critical role in normal menstruation and fertility. Disruptions in peristalsis patterns m…
