[The radiological diagnosis of uterine myomas (author's transl)]

From the above it will be seen that radiological examination in general is valuable in the diagnosis of uterine myomas; if the disease is advanced, then radiological diagnosis provides no difficulties. The preoperative radiological diagnosis of uterine myomas is particularly indicated in the following situations: 1. Suspicion of a submucous myoma, particularly if there may have been bleeding. 2. If accurate elucidation of the anatomy in the myomatous uterus is desirable pre-operatively, as for instance in cases of sterility when a conservative operation, such as enucliation may be planned. 3. For the differentiation between ovarian and uterine tumours when a tumour has been found in the pelvis.
