Diagnosis of three-dimensional transvaginal sonography in 96 endometrial polyps

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound(3D-TVS)in diagnosing endometrial polyps by regarding hysteroscope and biopsy as the gold standard for diagnosis.Methods Two-dimensional transvaginal sonography(2D-TVS)and 3D-TVS were performed on 96 married woman clinical suspected endometrial polyps.The diagnosis were compared with the results of pathology and hysteroscopy.Results The result of pathological diagnosis was as follow:86 cases were endometrial polyps,including multiple polyps 53 cases,sporadic polyps 33 cases.3D-TVS on multiple polyps was significantly higher than the 2D-TVS.Three-dimensional power doppler blood flow on polyp detection was significantly higher than the two-dimensional power Doppler ultrasound.Conclusion 3D-TVS can demonstrate the intrauterine diseases clearly with stereo-type visualization useful for detecting the locations of the lesions,and may have potential clinical value for endometrial polyps.
