Differential diagnosis of uterine myoma and adenomyosis using conventional ultrasound and transvaginal color doppler technique
This study investigated the differential diagnosis of uterine myoma and adenomyosis using conventional ultrasound and transvaginal color Doppler, finding a significant difference in Resistance Index between the two conditions.

This 1993 study evaluated the differential diagnosis of uterine myoma and adenomyosis using conventional ultrasound and transvaginal color Doppler techniques in patients who underwent hysterectomy. While initial retrospective analysis revealed that standard ultrasound had low sensitivity for detecting adenomyosis, the introduction of color Doppler allowed for the calculation of Resistance Index values based on radial artery blood flow waveforms. The results demonstrated a statistically significant difference in mean Resistance Index between myoma cases (0.54) and adenomyosis cases (0.78), suggesting that Doppler imaging can aid in distinguishing between these two conditions. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis — specifically focusing on its differentiation from uterine fibroids via vascular hemodynamic parameters measured by transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound.
