background: transvaginal ultrasound is one of the most common means to examine endometrial cavity lesions although its negative results are more valuable. saline sonohysterography can reduce the number of false negative rates of endometrial lesions diagnoses in tamoxifen consumers. the objective of this study was to determine the diagnostic values of saline infusion sonohysterography (sis) and ...

Endometrial polyps (EPs) are a common cause of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women and are typically suggested by a screening transvaginal ultrasound. In addition, the increasing use of pelvic imaging often discloses asymptomatic EPs. In the past, saline infusion sonography (SIS) has been advocated in order to triage patients to undergo a blind curettage o...
