OBJECTIVE: To assess whether the analysis of cyst content using mean gray value (MGV) can discriminate ovarian endometriomas from other unilocular ovarian cysts in premenopausal women. METHODS: Stored three-dimensional (3D) volumes from 54…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the accuracy and the potential limitations of transvaginal sonography (TVS) in the preoperative evaluation of women with clinically suspected bladder endometriosis and to describe the sonographic features of the path…

OBJECTIVES: To determine the sensitivity and specificity of subjective evaluation of gray-scale and Doppler ultrasound findings (here called pattern recognition) when used by experienced ultrasound examiners with regard to making a specific…

Routine ultrasound examination of the uterus includes a detailed assessment of the morphological characteristics of the myometrium and endometrium. These two main functional components of the uterus display different acoustic properties, wh…

Endometriosis is a chronic disease affecting 10–15% of women in their reproductive years1. It is characterized by the presence of functional endometrial glands and stroma in sites outside the uterine cavity. Its treatment is both complex an…

To compare the features using the histogram data between hemorrhagic and endometriosis cysts. 28 patients have been retrospectively evaluated, 14 of them with ovarian endometriotic cyst (EC) histologically proved and 14 with hemorrhagic cys…

Many authors1-4 have demonstrated the value of transrectal and transvaginal sonography (TVS), in addition to rectal endoscopic sonography in the evaluation of uterosacral ligaments and rectal wall involvement by deep pelvic endometriosis. R…

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…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the feasibility and utility of performing ultrasound-guided culdotomy using a renal balloon dilator catheter for transvaginal ovarian cystectomies. METHODS: Culdotomy using transvaginal sonography and a Nephromax ba…

To investigate changes in endometrial and subendometrial vascularity during the peri-implantation period and their significance in successful embryoimplantation. A prospective longitudinal study was conducted in one hundred women undergoing…
