    Summary

    Pelvic sonograms can visualize normal postmenopausal ovaries, contrary to prior beliefs. This imaging may aid in early ovarian cancer detection, though more data on normal ovarian volumes are needed.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Gynecology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Pelvic sonography is a key imaging modality in women's health.
    • Characterizing normal postmenopausal ovaries is crucial for accurate diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the sonographic visualization rates of normal postmenopausal ovaries.
    • To determine the sonographic ovarian volumes in a postmenopausal cohort.
    • To assess the potential role of sonography in screening for ovarian cancer.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of pelvic sonograms from 30 asymptomatic postmenopausal women.
    • Clinical follow-up of 8-18 months to confirm absence of pathology.
    • Measurement of ovarian volumes for visualized ovaries.

    Main Results:

    • Both ovaries were visualized in 19 patients (63%).
    • One ovary was seen in 3 patients (10%), and neither ovary in 8 patients (27%).
    • All visualized ovaries had volumes less than or equal to 2.5 cm³.

    Conclusions:

    • Sonography can depict a significant proportion of normal postmenopausal ovaries.
    • Further research is needed to establish definitive normal ovarian volume ranges.
    • Pelvic sonography may serve as a screening tool for early ovarian carcinoma detection.
