Reproducibility of evaluation of the uterus by transvaginal sonography, hysterosonographic examination, hysteroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging.

Background: The aim was to evaluate and compare inter-observer reproducibility by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS), hysterosonographic examination (HSE) and hysteroscopy (HY).

Methods: Different observers consecutively evaluated MRI, TVS, HSE and HY independently in 51 pre-menopausal women, who underwent hysterectomy for benign diseases.

Results: Inter-observer agreement (kappa) was as follows: Exclusion of uterine cavity abnormalities: MRI 0.
