A Prospective Study of Diagnostic Accuracy of Ultrasound

Stopped early

Conditions studied: Adenomyosis

In brief

Prospectively-Patients undergoing a hysterectomy for abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) or pelvic pain will be enrolled in the study, will get pelvic ultrasound at the ultrasound clinic. An ultrasound will be obtained as part of the required clinical assessment before the patient undergoes a hysterectomy. The ultrasound images will be reviewed using Viewpoint reporting system-various sonographic features of adenomyosis will be reported detailed, including pelvic pathology, pelvic congestion syndrome etc. The histopathological examination will be done by assigned pathologist for accurate mapping/localizing the adenomyosis (appropriate section of uterus to defining localized versus generalized adenomyosis) on all patients diagnosed with adenomyosis on ultrasound. The ultrasound will be correlated with histopathology(which is the gold standard for diagnosis of adenomyosis). Scoring system for adenomyosis based on various sonographic features/clinical symptoms and their confirmation with histopathology will be developed.
