Introduction
Overview
Overview
Other imaging findings include colour doppler, sonohysterography, hysterosalpingography, and nuclear imaging (PET scan). These imaging modalities have proven useful for diagnosing polyps, endometrioma’s and adenomyosis.
Other Imaging Findings
Other Imaging Findings
Color Doppler
Color doppler is a type of ultrasound that visualizes flow direction and velocity.[1]
- This study can be done to diagnose endometrial polyps where it shows a single feeding vessel extending to and supplying the polyp[2]

Sonohysterography
Sonohysterography is an ultrasound technique used to asses the uterine anatomical structure. It is most commonly utilized for purposes of assessing fertility.[3]
- Sonohysterography may be helpful in determining endometrial polyps which presents echogenic, smooth masses outlined by fluid[4]
Hysterosalpingography
- This study can be done to diagnose:
- Endometrial polyps: may present as pedunculated masses on imaging[5]
- Adenomyosis: diverticula extending into the myometrium[6]
Nuclear Medicine
- PET-CT may be done to detect uterine malignancies but it is less accurate than MRI and ultrasounds[7]
