ABSTRACT

Saline infusion sonography overcomes the limitations of traditional TVUS for evaluating menstrual and postmenopausal bleeding disorders. It offers the advantages of distending the uterine walls to create a threedimensional view of the uterus, and provides a more concentrated visualization of the endometrium and myometrium. This information helps to determine whether endometrial biopsy is needed, select the type of surgical procedure, ascertain the hysteroscopic expertise required to remove the lesions, and judge the resectability of lesions.
