The objective of this study was to assess the value of combining
transvaginal sonohysterography with three-dimensional multiplanar
ultrasonography to optimize assessment of the uterus. To make this
assessment, we compared findings on three-dimensional sonohysterography
with those on two-dimensional sonohysterography and X-ray
hysterosalpingography. Of 20 women who underwent three-dimensional
sonohysterography for various indications, 13 also underwent
two-dimensional sonohysterography, and 12 had X-ray hysterosalpingography.
We reviewed the 3 types of examinations separately and compared the
standard techniques with three-dimensional sonohysterography to determine
whether three-dimensional sonohysterography provided additional
information. In 9 (69%) of 13 comparisons between three-dimensional
sonohysterography and two-dimensional sonohysterography and in 11 (92%) of
12 comparisons between three-dimensional sonohysterography and X-ray
hysterosalpingography, three-dimensional sonohysterography was
advantageous. The coronal plane was most useful for displaying the
relationship between lesions and the uterine cavity. Three-dimensional
sonohysterography provided additional information compared with standard
accepted techniques in the vast majority of women.
