Ultrasonographic evaluation of endometrial changes using computer assisted image analysis.

Aim: To examine the usefulness of a gray scale histogram and computer assisted image analysis software in assessing physiologic states of the endometrium with ultrasonography.

Methods: Seventy patients at the Taipei Medical University-Wan Fang Hospital who matched eligibility criteria were categorized into one of three groups: (i) normal menstrual cycle, (ii) postmenopausal, and (iii) post incomplete abortion. Ultrasonography of the uterus was performed on each patient and the endometrium was analyzed with ImageJ image analysis software.

Sonographic quantification of endometrial changes after abortion with computer-assisted image analysis.

Objective: To examine the diagnostic feasibility of sonographic gray scale histograms to assess changes in the endometrium following abortion induced by mifepristone and misoprostol.

Design: Retrospective study.

Setting: Taipei Medical University-Wan Fang academic medical center.

Monitoring medical abortion using mifepristone/misoprostol combination with ultrasonogram and serum human chorionic gonadotropin.

Objective: The oral mifepristone/misoprostol combination (MMC) is safe for medical abortion in early pregnancy. The abortion status in MMC-treated pregnancies at Taipei Medical University-Wan Fang Medical Center was determined by ultrasonography, serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-HCG), and histopathology.

Methods: All women at less than 49 days since the last menstruation who asked for legal abortion were evaluated by ultrasonography.

Silent uterine rupture in an unscarred uterus.

Objective: Uterine rupture is one of the most serious obstetric complications, with an increased risk of maternal and perinatal morbidity, and even mortality.

Case Report: A multiparous woman came to our labor room at 41 weeks of gestation for induction of labor due to being post-term and having a nonreactive nonstress test. She had no history of abdominal or gynecologic surgery.
