The role of ultrasound in initial evaluation of renal colic.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the use of ultrasound in the initial evaluation of renal colic. We studied prospectively 21 patients referred for radiographic evaluation for renal colic from January 1998 through April 1998. All sonographic studies were performed with real-time sector scanner (Kertz, Compeson 410 using 3.

Comparative study of transvaginal hysterosonography and biopsy for the evaluation of post-menopausal bleeding.

Background: The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate transvaginal hysterosonography (TVHS) in post-menopausal bleeding (PMB) as an alternative to endometrial biopsy. The study was conducted at the Zarka Military Hospital, Amman, Jordan, over a one-year period from 1996 to 1997.

Patients And Methods: The study comprised 98 women presenting with post-menopausal bleeding who had been listed for diagnostic dilatation and curettage.

An appraisal of computed tomography pelvimetry in patients with previous caesarean section.

This study was conducted to determine the value of computed tomography (CT) pelvimetry in patients with previous caesarean section. Of 219 pregnant women with one previous caesarean section, 100 had antenatal CT pelvimetry and a control group of 119 women had no CT pelvimetry. In the CT pelvimetry group, 51.

Prediction of benign and malignant endometrial disease: hysterosonographic-pathologic correlation.

Purpose: To determine the transvaginal hysterosonographic appearances of benign and malignant endometrial disease.

Materials And Methods: From April 11, 1994, through August 1, 1996, a total of 88 women (age range, 25-81 years) underwent transvaginal hysterosonography and histopathologic evaluation of the endometrium after dilation and curettage or after hysterectomy. A benign appearance at transvaginal hysterosonography was defined as a thin endometrium, diffuse smooth endometrial thickening, or a smoothly marginated, homogeneously echogenic, pedunculated endoluminal mass.
