Ultrasound tools in differentiation of common congenital uterine anomalies

What is it about?

The aim of the study was to estimate the accuracy and to compare the diagnostic value of various ultrasound methods (2-dimensional ultrasonography, 2-dimensional sonohysterography, 3-dimensional ultrasonohraphy, 3-dimensional sonohysterography), when used by experienced clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of the congenital uterine anomalies.

Why is it important?

To our knowledge, this is the first study comparing the diagnostic accuracy of 3D sonohysterography to the gold diagnostic standard, that is, hysteroscopy with laparoscopy (not only to hysteroscopy; hysteroscopy is a suboptimal diagnostic test) , with regard to the diagnosis of congenital uterine anomalies and differentiation of their subtypes. Furthermore, the results with 3D sonohysterography were, for the first time, compared with other ultrasound-based methods.
