title: Sonographic scan of the normal and pathological endometrium.
abstract: The cycle-dependent sonographic signs of the endometrium in healthy women, the morphological picture of the endometrium in the menopause as well as in tumorous changes are reviewed. The importance of sonography is pointed out in screening the pathological changes of the endometrium. The examination of the endometrium may provide useful supplementary data also to treating infertile patients. Transvaginal sonography may essentially enhance the precision of the method.
