Typical features of benign masses using grayscale transvaginal ultrasonography are reproducible even in moderately experienced examiners, although more experience was associated with better interobserver agreement. The diagnostic performance of different operators with different degrees of experience is similar.
Our results indicate that endometrial blood flow mapping using transvaginal power Doppler sonography is acceptably reproducible. More experience was associated with better intraobserver and interobserver agreement.
Puerperal hematomas are a major complication of delivery. Little information about the role of sonography in the management of puerperal hematomas is available in the English literature. We report a case of a vulvovaginal hematoma that developed subsequent to vaginal delivery and that was managed conservatively using sonography. Our report includes the sonographic follow-up of the lesion with MRI correlation. The present case report suggests that sonography has a role in the detection and follow-up of the condition, with MRI providing a more detailed mapping of the lesion and excluding any retroperitoneal involvement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
