The aim of our study was to verify the reliability of transvaginal ultrasonography in the pre-operative evaluation of bladder endometriosis. Six patients with suspected bladder endometriosis were studied. At referral to our department all six women underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasonography, cystoscopy and descending urography. Subsequently all t...

This cross sectional study was carried out in the department of Radiology and Imaging, Dhaka Medical College Hospital from July 2008 to June 2010 to compare the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasonography and transabdominal ultrasonography in the diagnosis of clinically suspected cases of ectopic pregnancy. Initially 60 patients with clinical suspicion of ectopic pregnancy were included in this st...

results endometrial thickness in patients who had 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 d&c; were 10.00 ± 0.58, 9.83 ± 0.47, 8.90 ± 0.92, 7.42 ± 0.18 and 7.40 ± 0.07, respectively one day before ovulation (spearman’s correlation coefficient = -0.33) and 10.62 ± 0.68, 9.64 ± 0.49, 8.48 ± 0.96, 6.32 ± 0.15 and 6.90 ± 0.04, respectively, 5-7 days after ovulation (spearman’s correlation coefficient = -0.66) estradiol a...

To verify the reliability of transvaginal ultrasonography in diagnosing intrauterine disease and in evaluating the operability of submucous myomas and to determine the feasibility, acceptability and validity of hysteroscopy for menorrhagia, we performed a prospective 5 year study on 793 women of mean age +/- SD of 41.5 +/- 7.8 years. All the patients referred for excessive menstrual bleeding wi...

OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to evaluate whether it was possible to abstain from performing an endometrial biopsy when endometrial thickness according to transvaginal ultrasonography was /=50 years who were re...

OBJECTIVE To examine the prevalence, incidence, persistence, and resolution of ovarian abnormalities using serial transvaginal ultrasonography. METHODS A group of 39,337 women in the University of Kentucky Ovarian Cancer Screening Program were monitored with 221,576 baseline and interval transvaginal ultrasonography. RESULTS The transvaginal ultrasonogram was normal for first and all subseq...

Oocyte recovery guided by transvaginal ultrasonography has been introduced into in vitro fertilisation units and compares favourably with laparoscopic oocyte recovery. 2 The transition from laparoscopy to ultrasonography may, however, account for part of this difference-for example, anaesthetic requirements and risks of pneumoperitoneum are reduced. In Oxford the in vitro fertilisation unit is ...
