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 re…

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…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate intraobserver variability of fibroid sonographic measurements and apply this factor to fibroid growth assessment. METHODS: Study participants were African American women aged 23 to 34 years who had never had a diagn…

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). …

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…

In this article, we demonstrate the feasibility of saline infusion sonohysterography-based strain imaging for the determination of stiffness variations in uterine masses in vivo. Strain images are estimated using a 2-dimensional multilevel …

OBJECTIVES: We conducted a prospective blinded study to evaluate the costs, accuracy, risks, and benefits of 3-dimensional (3D) transvaginal sonography compared to hysterosalpingography. METHODS: A total of 101 women aged 26 to 44 years wi…

This article will describe the different variants of the unicornuate uterus, their clinical presentation and imaging findings, as well their associated complications. We will also review the associated renal anomalies. Patients' symptoms an…

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to assess whether a single determination of the serum cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) level provides additional information to sonography for specific diagnosis of benign adnexal masses in premenopausal…

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine whether sonographically depicted echogenic foci are more common in the ovaries of women with endometriosis when compared to the ovaries of women who do not have endometriosis. METHODS:…

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this series was to describe the sonographic findings of inguinal endometriosis. METHODS: This was a retrospective analysis of 3 cases of inguinal endometriosis. The following gray scale and color Doppler sonograph…

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this presentation is to investigate the potential role of 3-dimensional (3D) sonography in the assessment of deep endometriosis. METHODS: Cases of deep endometriosis are presented to illustrate the spectrum of app…

OBJECTIVE: We describe the use of a new sonographic technique for imaging of the posterior compartment of the pelvis: sonorectovaginography. METHODS: Sonorectovaginography uses instillation of fluids (saline solution and ultrasound gel) in…

OBJECTIVE: Uterine abnormalities, such as leiomyomas, endometrial polyps, and adenomyosis, are often clinically associated with irregular uterine bleeding. These abnormalities can have similar B-mode characteristics but require different tr…

OBJECTIVE: Because of the range of patient ages with endometriosis, the persistence of endometriomas, and the degradation of internal blood products over time, the appearance of endometriomas is variable. The purpose of this study was to id…

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this presentation is to show the imaging findings of the common and uncommon variants of adenomyosis as seen on sonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS: A 3-year database search was performed to i…

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this series is to present deciduosis (the formation of extrauterine decidua) as one of the differential diagnoses of a malignant tumor during pregnancy. METHODS: Two cases are described in which pregnant patients …
