In my opinion, the time has come for all of us who perform TVUS, or those who order TVUS to do, or expect to be done, a dynamic assessment in real time looking for tenderness, decreased mobility and nonanatomically located ovaries (FIGURE 2).

Role of imaging in diagnosing endometriosis

Vikhareva Osser and colleagues, who performed both TVUS and SIS in 108 women with a history of one or more cesarean sections.

Consider isthmocele with pelvic pain, bleeding after cesarean

(10-12) The data are from older studies, including a meta-analysis, that did not include the use of TVUS. (10-12) But TVUS is now in widespread use and included in the systematic review and meta-analysis this PURL addresses.

Is this pregnancy viable?

A total of 65 patients with adenomyosis suspicious on ultrasound underwent static pelvic MRI exams within 30 days of TVUS between Jan.

MRI enhances value of transvaginal ultrasound in adenomyosis diagnosis

Although our institutions' imaging with MRI and TVUS is highly accurate, we additionally recommend the use of colonoscopy (with directed biopsies if appropriate) to evaluate patients who present with rectal bleeding, large endometriotic rectal nodules, or have a family history of bowel cancer.

Deep infiltrating endometriosis: Evaluation and management: Deep endometriosis is successfully diagnosed with clinical signs and symptoms and specific MRI or TVUS protocols, and treatment options are available to relieve pain and optimize outcomes

Similarly, a single-arm prospective study in the United States looking at a two-stage screening strategy using ROCA and TVUS showed comparable specificity and positive predictive values to those reported on UKCTOCS (Cancer 2013;119:3454-61).

Gynecologic oncology consult: the quest for ovarian cancer screens

When a woman who has tested positive for pregnancy presents with abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding and a normal intrauterine pregnancy (IUP) has not been confirmed by abdominal ultrasound, request a quantitative measurement of the [[beta]-hCG level and arrange for urgent TVUS. (2,13) If pregnancy has been unsuspected in a patient with these symptoms, perform a urine test for pregnancy immediately and follow up with ultrasound.

Ectopic pregnancy: zero in on these lab and imaging clues quantitative [beta]-hCG measurements and transvaginal ultrasound findings interpreted in light of a [beta]-hCG "cutoff" can reliably guide clinical decisions

The Bulletin went on to state that the primary imaging test of the uterus for the evaluation of AUB is TVUS. (1) If TVUS is not adequate, and if further evaluation of the cavity becomes necessary, hysteroscopy, preferable in an office setting, or SIS is recommended.

Finding a better approach to diagnosing abnormal uterine bleeding

In a smaller study in which 97 women underwent TVUS and EMB was attempted, researchers reported that while no cases of endometrial cancer were missed when EMB sampling was successful, there was only a 27% probability of obtaining an adequate endometrial sample in women with an endometrial thickness (ET) <5 mm.

Postmenopausal bleeding: first steps in the workup: is it endometrial cancer? When a postmenopausal woman presents with unexpected vaginal bleeding, this algorithm and review can help you answer that question without delay

If we have doubts about the bowel involvement even after TVUS with bowel preparation, we recommend rectal echoendoscopy.

Current diagnosis and treatment

Although magnetic resonance imaging and transrectal or transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) may better visualize ovarian follicles, transabdominal ultrasound (TAUS) is a less invasive, cheaper, and more readily available imaging modality to diagnose PCOS, Dr.

Abdominal ultrasound may help in PCOS Dx in teens

Using a threshold of [less than or equal to] 5 mm, transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) can be used to identify those patients with postmenopausal bleeding who are at low risk for endometrial cancer, polyps, or atypical hyperplasia at a sensitivity comparable with that of endometrial biopsy and dilatation and curettage (D&C) (strength of recommendation: B, based on systematic reviews of consistent exploratory cohort studies.)
