UNLABELLED The aim, of this prospective study was to estimate whether the presence of endometrial fluid detected by transvaginal ultrasound investigation was a marker for the pathological changes of the endometrium in postmenopausal women. MATERIAL AND METHODS 128 postmenopausal women with uterine bleeding and 29 asymptomatic postmenopausal women underwent transvaginal ultrasound investigatio...

Transvaginal and transabdominal ultrasound evaluation of the uterine cervix were compared in a study of 186 pregnant women. An empty bladder made transabdominal ultrasound measurement of the cervix more difficult, while bladder filling resulted in significant lengthening of the transabdominal cervical measurement. In contrast, transvaginal ultrasound cervical measurement was possible in all but...

This study is undertaken to emphasize the role of ultrasonography in diagnosis ectopic pregnancy and clinicalanalysis same a tertiary care referral hospital.MethodologyOne hundred patients with provisional were studied. Physical examination, urinepregnancy test, transabdominal scan using 5 MHz transducer or transvaginal 7 was done. Thediagnosis confirmed by direct observation laparotomy laparos...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to explore factors influencing the accuracy of transvaginal digital examination for determining fetal head position during the first stage of labor. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fetal head position was assessed in 87 women in the first stage of labor at term with normal singleton cephalic presentation. Transvaginal digital examinations were performed by atte...

BACKGROUND Transvaginal ultrasound is used conventionally as initial investigation of patients with abnormal uterine bleeding but saline contrast sonohysterography is a better technique to reliably distinguish focal from diffuse endometrial lesions. This study was performed to compare the ability of transvaginal ultrasonography and saline infusion sonohysterography as initial modality for the d...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES This study was carried out to determine the appearance of various cystic ovarian lesions on transvaginal real-time ultrasonographic elastography and to investigate its potential in the differential diagnosis of cystic ovarian lesions. METHODS Twenty six women (age range, 27-71 yr; mean age 42 ± 16 yr) with cystic ovarian masses underwent transvaginal B-mode and Doppler...

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is an important cause of ill health in perimenopausal women. Accurate diagnosis of the causative factor of AUB in this age group is of utmost importance so that appropriate management can be established. Objectives: The purpose of our study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) and hysteroscopy (HYS) compared w...

The prolonged retention of fetal bone structure is an uncommon condition after a previous abortion. We describe two cases with fetal bone fragment amongst 3589 hysteroscopies (0.05%), who had no complaint other than secondary infertility. In both patients, hyperechogenic areas were found through transvaginal ultrasound and the bones were removed by hysteroscopy. Despite meticulous evaluation du...

BACKGROUND Transvaginal Ultrasonography is a noninvasive and inexpensive medical imaging tool used for the diagnosis of various diseases. OBJECTIVES To identify an effective method to identify high-risk patients for developing malignancy after molar evacuation. PATIENTS AND METHODS A prospective serial assessment of 19 patients with gestational trophoblastic disease was performed. Clinical ...
