title: Transvaginal sonography (TVS) of the endometrium: current and potential clinical applications.
abstract: This review has discussed and illustrated the numerous applications of TVS for the sonographic detection of the endometrium. Its major applications are in early pregnancy evaluation and in evaluation of patients with endometrial carcinoma. As more clinical experience with this technique is gained, more extensive application of this technique will undoubtedly come about.
