Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic imaging
  • Diagnostic ultrasound
  • Reproductive medicine

Background:

  • Traditional methods for uterine cavity visualization have limitations.
  • Accurate diagnosis of intrauterine pathologies is crucial for effective treatment.
  • Contrast-enhanced sonography presents an advanced imaging modality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the technique of saline infusion sonography (SIS).
  • To outline the indications and contraindications for SIS.
  • To describe the semiology of intrauterine pathologies visualized with SIS.

Main Methods:

  • Real-time transcervical instillation of sterile saline.
  • Transvaginal sonography performed during saline infusion.
  • Utilizing SIS for enhanced visualization of the uterine cavity.

Main Results:

  • SIS allows precise diagnosis of endometrial polyps.
  • SIS accurately identifies submucous myomas.
  • SIS is effective in detecting intrauterine adhesions and anatomical malformations.

Conclusions:

  • Saline infusion sonography is a valuable tool for uterine cavity assessment.
  • SIS provides superior visualization compared to conventional methods.
  • The technique aids in precise diagnosis and management of intrauterine conditions.
