Objectives: A panel of 14 physicians practicing medicine in the United States with expertise in radiology, obstetrics and gynecology, gynecologic oncology, hysteroscopy, epidemiology, and pathology was convened by the Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound to discuss the role of sonography in women with postmenopausal bleeding. Broad objectives of this conference were (1) to advance understandin...

We examined clinical and sonographic findings in 112 patients diagnosed as having hemorrhagic ovarian cyst (HOC) who had clinical and transvaginal sonographic follow up. The patients were classified into group A (n=40) with signs and symptoms of acute abdomen and group B (n=72) with no symptoms or mild abdominal pain, and their ultrasonographic and clinical findings were compared. Significant d...

PURPOSE To estimate the risk of uterine dehiscence/rupture in women with previous cesarean section (CS) by comparing the thickness of lower uterine segment (LUS) and myometrium with trans-abdominal (TAS) and trans-vaginal sonography (TVS). METHOD In this case-control study, in 100 pregnant women posted for elective CS (with or without previous CS; group 1 and group 2 respectively), the thickn...

Objective
 To compare the measurements and client-preferences of transabdominal scan (TAS) transvaginal (TVS) in assessing cervical length.
 Method 
 A validation study with a cross sectional component on patient-preferences was conducted among 568 pregnant women period-of-amenorrahea between 11+0 to 22+6 weeks. Pre- post-void TAS TVS were taken. Receiver Operating Characteristic...

The role of imaging in female infertility has undergone a revolution over the past few decades .Sonography plays an integral role in the evaluation of gynecologic disease. It can determine the organ or site of abnormality and provide a diagnosis or short differential in the vast majority of patients. Both the transabdominal and transvaginal approaches are now well –established techniques for as...

Transvaginal color flow and pulsed Doppler sonography has shown promise in the evaluation and characterization of adnexal masses and may ultimately play a role in ovarian cancer screening.',' A relative increase in the diastolic flow in malignant lesions has been previously reported. Pathologic evidence suggests that this phenomenon reflects the paucity of smooth muscle within tumor vessels alo...

Introduction: Transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound can be used in distinguishing lesions of adnexa. Transvaginal has higher diagnostic accuracy than transabdominal when compared with gold standard histopathology. It also provides better resolution as to ultrasound.
 Aims: To find the efficacy sonographic techniques adnexal pathologies by comparing against biopsy.
 Methods: Hospi...

IMPORTANCE The rapid identification and accurate diagnosis of women who may have an ectopic pregnancy is critically important for reducing the maternal morbidity and mortality associated with this condition. OBJECTIVE To systematically review the accuracy and precision of the patient history, clinical examination, readily available laboratory values, and sonography in the diagnosis of ectopic...
