[Doppler ultrasonography for detection of pathologic changes in uterine body endometrium].
This study was conducted to evaluate the role of transvaginal color Doppler ultrasonography in detecting endometrial pathology in postmenopausal women A group of 140 women with abnormal postmenopausal bleeding was examined by TVS with color Doppler before D & C. Histopathologic and blood flow characteristics were evaluated. Abnormal blood flow characteristics were evaluated. Abnormal blood flow within endometrium was visualized in 78% cases of cancer. RI and PI values were lowered in hyperplasia and significantly in cancer groups. Transvaginal color Doppler ultrasonography can depict endometrial pathology, even in asymptomatic women.
