ABSTRACT Introduction The success of an assisted reproductive program (ARP) depends on the embryo quality and the intrauterine environment. It has been reported up until now that abnormal uterine findings occur in nearly 34 to 62% of infertile women worldwide. Due to this reason, uterine cavity evaluation is commonly recommended to screen for fibroids, polyps, adhesions, and mullerian abnormalities. Uterine cavity evaluation is usually accomplished with three-dimensional (3D) transvaginal ultrasound (TVS), sonohysterography, hysterosalpingography, and office hysteroscopy (OH). Materials and methods Uterine cavity evaluation was carried out in 239 infertile females undergoing ARP with twodimensional (2D) followed by 3D vaginal ultrasonography on day 21 of their menstrual cycles. Later, OH was carried out on 5th or 6th day of menstrual cycles. Results Out of 239 women, 3D TVS was abnormal in 28 (11.71%) and OH was abnormal in 53 (22.17%). Three-dimensional TVS agreed with OH in 16 (30.18%) abnormal cases and 179 (93.71%) normal cases. False-positive results for 3D TVS were 12 (6.28%) and false-negative results were 37 (69.81%). In our study, sensitivity of 3D TVS was 30.1%, specificity was 93.7%, positive predictive value was 57.1%, and negative predictive value was 82.8%. Conclusion Office hysteroscopy is an easy and safe procedure and has a better diagnostic efficacy than 3D TVS for uterine cavity evaluation in women undergoing ARP.

Abstract Introduction Various forms of female infertility were associated with congenital uterine anomalies and acquired uterine disease. In fact, the myometrium can only be indirectly imaged by X-ray hysterosalpingography but is directly seen on Ultrasonography. More recently, further advances in ultrasonography have led to three-dimensional multiplanar or volume imaging (three-dimensional ultrasonography [3DUS]) in which sonographic images are obtained from a volume of ultrasonographic data (rather than from a slice of data) the application of 3DUS to gynecologic imaging has suggested a role for transvaginal 3DUS in the assessment of uterine anomalies and endometrial lesions. Aim To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity of Hysteroscopy vs TV3D in the evaluation of the uterine abnormalities in infertile women before ICSI. Methodology This is a study including 60 patients were selected from the outpatient gynecological clinic, private center at Sohag government (Ibn Sina Center) in collaboration with (Ain Shams University Hospital in IVF unit) from12/2017 -8/2018. All cases files are computerized and saved in Ibn Sina Center. Results The overall result of accuracy of different modalities was 98.3% for 3D sonography and the accuracy of different modalities in detection of endometrial polyp was 93.3% for 3D sonography and 100% for hysteroscopy. The accuracy of different modalities in detection of septate uterus was 100% for 3D sonography and hysteroscopy. The accuracy of different modalities in detection of intrauterine adhesions was 100% for 100% for 3D and hysteroscopy. Conclusion Hysteroscopy is the gold standard diagnostic & therapeutic tool for uterine anomalies (bicornuate, septate, arcuate, polyp), However 3D ultrasonography is diagnostic tool only but superior to hysteroscopy in certain lesions e.g. (subserous and intramural fibroid). Recommendation we recommend 3D to become soon as the diagnostic procedure of choice in assessment of suspected uterine lesions. Furthermore, we recommend that 3D US, if available, to be performed routinely for all cases of uterine cavity anomalies and prior to corrective uterine surgery.

Diagnostic Challenge

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) represents a common diagnostic challenge, as it might be related to both benign and malignant conditions. Endometrial cancer may not be detected with blind uterine cavity sampling by dilatation and curettage or suction devices. Several scoring systems using different ultrasound image characteristics were recently proposed to estimate the risk of endometrial cancer (EC) in women with AUB. Aim: The aim of the present study was to externally validate the predictive value of the recently proposed scoring systems including the Risk of Endometrial Cancer scoring model (REC) for EC risk stratification. Material and methods: It was a retrospective cohort study of women with postmenopausal bleeding. From June 2012 to June 2020 we studied a group of 394 women who underwent standard transvaginal ultrasound examination followed by power Doppler intrauterine vascularity assessment. Selected ultrasound features of endometrial lesions were assessed in each patient. Results: The median age was 60.3 years (range ±10.7). The median body mass index (BMI) was 30.4 (range ± 6.0). Histological examination revealed 158 cases of endometrial hyperplasia (EH) and 236 cases of EC. Of the studied ultrasound endometrial features, the highest areas under the curve (AUCs) were found for endometrial thickness (ET) (AUC = 0.76; 95% CI: 0.71–0.81) and for interrupted endomyometrial junction (AUC = 0.70, 95% CI: 0.65–0.75). Selected scoring systems presented moderate to good predictive performance in differentiating EC and EH. The highest AUC was found for REC model (AUC = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.70–0.79) and for the basic model that included ET, Doppler score and interrupted endometrial junction (AUC = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.73–0.82). REC model was more accurate than other scoring systems and selected single features for differentiating benign hyperplasia from EC at early stages, regardless of menopausal status. Conclusions: New scoring systems, including the REC model may be used in women with AUB for more efficient differentiation between benign and malignant conditions.
