Evaluation of Uterine Cavity in Infertile Women: Comparison of Transvaginal Ultrasound, Saline Contrast Hystero-Sonography and Hysteroscopy—A Tunisian Series

Abstract

The development of uterine pathologies usually involves transvaginal ultrasonography, possibly supplemented by hysteroscopy. Recent technical developments in ultrasound have given rise to a new exploration technique: hysterosonography or ultrasound with contrast enhancement. Hysterosonography has emerged today in the study of the uterine cavity with a precise analysis of the endometrial mucosa and related pathologies. Objectives: To determine the contribution of hysterosonography in uterine cavity pathologies, and appraise the performance of this examination in the evaluation of the uterine cavity by comparing it to vaginal ultrasound and diagnostic hysteroscopy. A retrospective study of 39 hysterosonography examinations was performed in the Gynecology and
