Diagnostic value of transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasonography in uterine congenital malformations

Objective: To study the value of the transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasound imaging technology in the diagnosis of uterine congenital malformation. Methods: Ninety-six cases with uterine congenital malformation examined by two-dimensional ultrasonic observing were scanned by three-dimensional ultrasonography. The shape of the uterus and endometrium,were observed and compared with the results of the hysteroscopy. Results: 3 D ultrasound clearly distinguished the types of malformations with diagnostic accuracy rate of 100%( 96 /96),while 2 D ultrasound diagnostic accuracy rate was 72. 9%( 70 /96). Conclusion: 3 D ultrasound is prior to hysterosalpingography for diagnosing uterine congenital malformations in our study. 3 D ultrasound may provide more detailed informations objectively for the reasonable clinical treatment programs.
