OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the intra- and inter-rater agreement for myometrial lesions using Morphologic Uterus Sonographic Assessment terminology. METHODS: Thirteen raters with high (n = 6) or medium experience (n = 7) assessed 30 3-dimensio…

OBJECTIVES: To assess the added value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after dynamic transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) in the diagnostic pathway for preoperative staging of pelvic endometriosis. METHODS: A prospective observational study w…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical usefulness of the microbubble contrast agent SonoVue in enhancing high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for the treatment of adenomyosis. METHODS: A total of 102 patients with adenomyosis, assessed fro…

This report provides examples of using 3-dimensional ultrasound diagnostically in gynecology. The cost efficiency it provides and the wide range of applications it has support the routine use of this ultrasound technology in the practice of…

OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of the study was to compare the performance of the rectal water transvaginal ultrasonography (RWC-TVS) with and without bowel preparation (BP) in diagnosing rectosigmoid endometriosis. The secondary objecti…

OBJECTIVES: To assess the inter-rater agreement of 2-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimensional (3D) transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS) in the diagnosis of adenomyosis. METHODS: This prospective study included premenopausal women (n = 96) with hea…

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the accuracy and reliability of 3-dimensional (3D) transvaginal sonography in classifying submucous fibroids using the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics PALM-COEIN (polyp, adenomyosis, leiomyom…

OBJECTIVES: Few studies have examined the effect of adenomyosis on pregnancy outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight in women with adenomyosis diagnosed during pregnancy. METHODS: A computerized ultras…

OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the diagnostic performance of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) shear wave elastography (SWE) for evaluating uterine adenomyosis and leiomyomas. METHODS: Institutional Review Board approval was obtained for pro…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of 2-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimensional (3D) transvaginal ultrasonography (US) in comparison with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for identification of deep infiltrating endometriosis. METHOD…

Objectives The objective of the study was to evaluate the correlation between endometrioma‐associated pain and lesion vascularization as measured with 3‐dimensional power Doppler transvaginal sonography. Methods Endometriomas were examined,…

Gel sonovaginography is a new way of assessing local cervical and vaginal disorders, in which regular transvaginal sonography is known to have limitations. In gel sonovaginography, 20 mL of ultrasound gel is instilled into the vagina, follo…

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to assess contrast-enhanced sonography features before and after interventional treatment of ovarian endometrial cysts. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 53 patients with ovarian endometrial cyst…

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the appearance of deep infiltrating endometriosis of the bowel wall in the cul-de-sac and determine the characteristic appearance of these lesions. We searched our database between January 1, 2011, …

In recent years, knowledge has evolved regarding the role of transvaginal sonography in the assessment of the pouch of Douglas status and the preoperative prediction of extraovarian endometriosis in specific locations. Despite these advance…

This review demonstrates the unique advantages of sonography in the oncologic setting. Although computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography-computed tomography are primary imaging modalities for evaluat…

OBJECTIVES: To identify the sonographic features of decidualized endometriomas in patients treated at a single institution and to determine whether sonographic findings can distinguish these lesions from malignant ovarian tumors during preg…

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of abdominal liposuction on sonographically guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation. METHODS: A total of 10 women with uterine fibroids or adenomyosis who had rec…

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to assess the diagnostic performance of extended transvaginal sonography for diagnosing deep infiltrating endometriosis. METHODS: A prospective study was conducted comprising 51 women (mean age, 32.…

ObjectivesTo evaluate intraobserver variability of fibroid sonographic measurements and apply this factor to fibroid growth assessment.MethodsStudy participants were African American women aged 23 to 34 years who had never had a diagnosis o…

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to review the management and outcomes of all patients with pregnancy of unknown location who had serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels greater than 1000 mIU/mL in our institution and to de…

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical value of strain elastography for detection of the lesion extent of large-scar endometriosis and compare it to conventional sonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). M…

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the interobserver agreement for diagnosis of deep endometriosis of the rectovaginal septum using introital 3-dimensional (3D) sonography. METHODS: Two experienced observers (observers A and …
