“…Wilde and Scott-Barrett [3] found that for diagnosis of submucous fibroids and small fibroids <5 mm TVS is more sensitive but they recommend that TAS and TVS should be performed in conjunction because when the uterus is bulky or retroverted the uterine fundus may lie outside of the field of view.…”

The present prospective diagnostic cross sectional study was carried out in the Department of Radio-diagnosis from October 2013 to July 2015. A total of 158 patients were included as per the predefined study criteria. Transabdominal and transvaginal sonography was done on all patients and the diagnosis was correlated with final histopathological diagnosis. Clinically, most common pathology diagnosed was fibroid uterus (53.80%). Similarly on transabdominal and transvaginal sonography, majority (37.80% and 41.78 %) of patients were diagnosed with uterine fibroids. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of transvaginal sonography for detection of uterine fibroids is 82.26%, 85.90 %, 82.26% and 85.90 % respectively. While sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of transabdominal sonography is 59.68%, 74.36 %, 64.91% and 69.88% respectively. Transvaginal scans were found to be more accurate for the diagnosis of small fibroids while large myomas were best imaged with a combination of transabdominal and transvaginal sonography. Majority of the fibroids were intramural (TAS-59.46%; TVS-54.90%) in location and hypoechoic (72.55%) in appearance.

“…4 Sonohysterography is a technique in which sterile saline is instilled into the uterine cavity via a trans-cervical catheter whilst performing a trans-vaginal scan for better visualization of the endometrium Sonohysterography demonstrates polyps, submucosal leiomyomas, and adhesions more clearly than trans-vaginal sonography and should be used an adjunct to trans-vaginal sonography in selected patients. 2,5 Various lesions seen in endometrial cavity were as Follows:…”

INTRODUCTIONHigh resolution trans-vaginal sonography is useful for diagnosis of various endometrial lesions. Broad spectrum of endometrial lesions can be accurately imaged by various available modalities of which ultrasound is easily available, reliable, non-invasive and cost effective modality. Trans-vaginal ultrasound helps to accurately assess various endometrial lesions with high accuracy at early stages. 1 The purpose of this study is to evaluate endometrial lesions on the basis of their appearances by high resolution trans-vaginal ultrasound. High resolution trans-vaginal sonography is useful for diagnosis of various endometrial lesions. Broad spectrum of endometrial lesions can be accurately imaged by various available modalities of which ultrasound is easily available, reliable, non-invasive and cost effective modality. METHODSStudy of 121 cases of endometrial abnormalities with high resolution trans-vaginal ultrasound was done. Initially, all cases were seen trans-abdominally and then trans-vaginally in sagittal and axial plane. ABSTRACT Background:The purpose of this study is to evaluate endometrial lesions on the basis of their appearances by high resolution trans-vaginal ultrasound. High resolution trans-vaginal sonography is useful for diagnosis of various endometrial lesions. Broad spectrum of endometrial lesions can be accurately imaged by various available modalities of which ultrasound is easily available, reliable, non-invasive and cost effective modality. Methods: In these study cases with complaints of abnormal uterine bleeding, suspected retained products, white discharge, dysmenorrhea and habitual abortions were evaluated with trans-vaginal ultrasound. Lesions were carefully studied and evaluated. Philips HD-11 and Accuson Siemens ultrasound machines with trans-vaginal probes were used. Results: In all 121 cases, trans-abdominal and trans-vaginal high resolution ultrasound was performed for different lesions in endometrium. Age group of females was between 18 to 65 years. Different uterine lesions were studied. Out of which most commonly encountered lesions were endometrial hyperplasia followed by polyps and least common lesion was AV malformation. Conclusions: High resolution trans-vaginal ultrasound helped in staging and management in cases of ca. endometrium. Hence trans-vaginal ultrasound should be 1st choice of investigation for diagnosis of endometrial lesions.
