Transvaginal and transabdominal sonography of the endometrium.
The major applications of the sonographic depiction of the endometrium include the localization of the uterus relative to adnexal masses, determination of certain benign and malignant endometrial pathologies, and, potentially, as a parameter for consideration in gynecologic infertility. Transvaginal sonography affords detailed depiction of the endometrium and may provide future applications of sonography in endometrial disorders.
