using sterile saline solution as a negative contrast medium in conjunction with traditional transvaginal ultrasound .
you can image the uterine cavity and evaluate the tubal
patency.

it is advantageous over hysteroscopy that it can
scan the uterus, ovaries and pelvis at the same time
imaging the uterine cavity.

Abdominal or transvaginal sonography can identify myomas and thickened endometrium but is unable to differentiate between the potential etiologies of thickened endometrium,, polyps, submucous myomas, and homogenously thickened endometrium.
In combination with endometrial biopsy, it can identify anatomic problems and abnormal pathologic findings.

At transvaginal ultrasonography , the finding of a thickened central endometrial complex,
with or without cystic changes, is often nonspecific.

Endometrial cancer is typically a diffuse process,

sonohysterography, allows identification of intracavitary lesions and focal or diffuse endometrial abnormalities and helps determine whether an abnormality is endometrial or subendometrial.

A speculum, is used to expose the cervix, which was then cleansed with an iodine swab

Various catheter types may be Various catheter types may be used, includingused, including: :
• 5-F catheter, with or without an occlusive balloon
• pediatric feeding tubes,
• insemination catheters,
• Goldstein sonohysterography catheter

A catheter, is important to be flushed with sterile saline solution before being inserted to prevent the introduction of echogenic air bubbles.
![Page 28: Dr. A.Tabatabai Sonohysterography in abnormal uterine bleeding.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d955503460f94a7e6a7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The catheter can be inserted through the side of a standard speculum, rather than down the channel, for easier removal of the speculum.
![Page 29: Dr. A.Tabatabai Sonohysterography in abnormal uterine bleeding.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d955503460f94a7e6a7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Advancement of the catheter was aided by grasping the end of the catheter 2 to 3 cm from the tip with a ring forceps and gently feeding it through the cervical os to position the tip beyond the
endocervical canal. The speculum was then
carefully removed
while the catheter was left in place.

the covered transvaginal
probe was inserted into the vagina, and continuous scanning in the Sagittal and coronal or transverse planes was performed during instillation of sterile saline solution.
only 2–5 mL are actually needed to distend the cavity adequately

Cervical leakage is common, and it is helpful to have two 20-mL syringes of saline solution available for the procedure.

The most common indication for SIS is abnormal bleeding in pre- and postmenopausal patients.
![Page 34: Dr. A.Tabatabai Sonohysterography in abnormal uterine bleeding.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d955503460f94a7e6a7/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
SIS delineates masses or defects in the uterine cavity.

SIS distinguishes between focal lesions and global endometrial thickening.

There is no contraindication to SIS in Non-pregnant, non-infected women who are bleeding.

The studies show that the use of SIS will benefit clinical decision making, with up to 40% of patients avoiding diagnostic hysteroscopy.
Hysteroscopy is a more invasive procedure, and is associated with significant financial cost, as well as physical discomfort.

MSAC (The Medicare Services Advisory Committee)
recommended that on the strength of evidence pertaining to saline infusion sonohysterography, public funding should be supported for this procedure as a second-line diagnostic procedure for abnormal uterine bleeding, when findings from transvaginal ultrasound are inconclusive.

TVS and SHG offer a cost-effective alternative to diagnostic hysteroscopy in the evaluation of patients aged 40 years or older with abnormal uterine bleeding. The authors concluded that their study suggests that SIS is a more sensitive test than diagnostic hysteroscopy for evaluating abnormal uterine bleeding.

Sonohysterography was in general the most accurate test. Its diagnostic accuracy was markedly superior for polypoid lesions and EH, with total agreement with the gold standard.
In diagnosis of intrauterine adhesions, SHG had limited accuracy, similar to that obtained by HSG, with a high false-positive diagnosis rate.

Saline infusion sonohysterography is more accurate in diagnosing submucous fibroids and endometrial polyps in the patients of abnormal uterine bleeding than is TVS. TVS should be included in the standard protocol for the management of AUB. Saline infusion sonohysterography should be reserved for those patients who have centrally located fibroids as they may be submucous.

Conventional transvaginal pelvic sonography does not appear to be a screening procedure of sufficient diagnostic value in the symptomatic patient with abnormal vaginal bleeding.
In patients presenting with the chief complaint of abnormal vaginal bleeding, diagnostic evaluation with a saline hysterosonogram may be warranted despite normal findings on a transvaginal pelvic sonogram.
