Ultrasound Evaluation of Myometrium

This chapter focuses on the uterine myometrium. The first part of the chapter deals with the systematic and standardised evaluation and reporting of myometrial pathology primarily based on the recent MUSA consensus statement. Standardising terminologies, definitions and methodology of evaluation is important so that sonologists worldwide speak the same language. This helps us not only in understanding pathology better but is also conducive in combining efforts for comparison of data and research. The next part of the chapter deals with normal uterus and myometrium, as seen in woman of different age groups. This is followed by various pathologies of the myometrium which are dealt with in detail. They include fibroids, adenomyosis, adenomyoma and sarcoma. There are over 48 composite images in this chapter highlighting various sonographic features in these pathologies.
