Hysterosonography, a saline infusion sonography, accurately explores the uterine cavity and endometrium, distinguishing various conditions. While useful for many diagnoses, endometrial biopsy remains essential for detecting hyperplasia or cancer.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • Hysterosonography involves injecting saline into the uterine cavity during sonography.
  • It enables detailed exploration of the uterine cavity and endometrium.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the diagnostic capabilities of hysterosonography.
  • To compare its accuracy with office hysteroscopy.
  • To identify its applications in gynecological conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Sonography with saline infusion into the uterine cavity.
  • Comparison of hysterosonography findings with other diagnostic methods.

Main Results:

  • Hysterosonography accuracy is comparable to office hysteroscopy.

  • It effectively differentiates normal from pathological uterine cavities.
  • It distinguishes endometrial atrophy from mucosal anomalies and polyps from myomas.

    • Conclusions:

    • Hysterosonography is a valuable tool for uterine cavity and endometrial assessment.
    • Endometrial biopsy is still required for diagnosing hyperplasia and cancer.
    • Potential future applications include therapeutic interventions like polyp ablation.
