Aim:
The aim of the study is to determine the diagnostic accuracy of transabdominal ultrasound for diagnosis of endometrial
carcinoma in postmenopausal bleedingwomen taking histopathology as gold standard.The studywas conducted inDepartment
of Radiology, Services Hospital, Lahore.
Method:
A total of 345 cases fulfilling the inclusion/exclusion criteria were enrolled fromObstetrics &Gynecology Department,
SIMS, Lahore. Doppler ultrasound was performed. Endometrial thickness and uterine artery resistive index was recorded.
Patients having endometrial thickness >5 mm and uterine artery resistive index <0.7 were labeled as endometrial carcinoma.
Endometrial biopsy of these patients was carried out.
Conclusion:
Use of Doppler ultrasonography in the diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma in patients with post-menopausal
bleeding is useful with good sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV.
