Ultrasound in the diagnosis of endometrial and intracavitary pathology: an update
1Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology University Hospitals Leuven Leuven Belgium.
Over the last two decades, ultrasound evaluation of the endometrium and uterine cavity evolved from 2D grayscale evaluation of the endometrial thickness to a much more comprehensive examination including colour imaging, fluid instillation and 3D ultrasound. The International Endometrial Tumor Analysis (IETA) group recently published a consensus opinion paper on terms, definitions and measurements to describe the sonographic features on the endometrium and intrauterine lesions.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
