The Effectiveness of Three Dimensional Sonography in Evaluation of Uterine Cavity in Infertile Patients in Reference to Office Hysteroscopy

Objective: To assess the efficacy of three dimensional sonography in evaluation of uterine cavity in infertile patients in reference to office hysteroscopy. Patient and Methods: One hundred patients were recruited for the study with assumption to be harboring a uterine lesion. This assumption was made from the history, clinical examination or previous investigations suggesting uterine cavity abnormality including congenital uterine anomalies (Müllerian anomalies), intrauterine adhesions or uterine cavity pathology (polyps, myomas ... ). All patients underwent, 3D sonography and office hysteroscopy. Results: The overall result of accuracy was 97% for 3D sonography. The accuracy of the modality in detection of endometrial polyp was 92.31% for 3D sonography. The accuracy of the modality in detection of uterine anomalies was 100% for 3D sonography. The accuracy of the modality in detection of intrauterine adhesions was 100% for 3D sonography. Conclusion: From our study we could conclude that three dimensional sonography is an effective technique in evaluation of uterine cavity in infertile patients.
