“…A third limitation was that there were no cancers identified in our study group. However, the expected incidence of cancer in our study population is relatively low (0.5%-3%), [15][16][17] and other studies have found few if any endometrial cancers in their populations of patients with abnormal vaginal bleeding. 3,12 Nonetheless, we do not have the needed data to analyze whether the interrupted mucosa sign is helpful in differentiating endometrial polyps from cancers.…”

“…In our study the presence of a feeding artery was found in 13 patients, 11 of whom had pathological confirmation of an endometrial polyp. Jakab et al similarly found that feeding artery detection was 97% sensitive in diagnosing endometrial polyps [7]. There are also reports of using color Doppler to differentiate polyps from other endometrial abnormalities based on vascularization structure [13].…”

“…If an endometrial polyp is suspected, another diagnostic tool is preliminary verification using color Doppler to show a spiral artery penetrating the polyp as its feeding artery [7].…”

“…11.5 ) [ 11 ]. The use of power Doppler sonography with identifi cation of a single-vessel pattern improves diagnostic sensitivity to 89 % and specifi city to 87 % for an endometrial polyp [ 36 ], in comparison to the multivessel ( Fig. 11.6 ) or scattered pattern seen in malignant lesions or endometrial hyperplasia [ 34 ].…”
