12  Gynecologic Ultrasound Scanning

2.8.1\ Method

The patient should void the urinary bladder. Probe is placed in the vagina, the direction of sound beam through the longitudinal and transection of the uterus body.

2.8.2\ Section Structure

The hyperechoic area located at the uterus center is secretory-phase endometrium, and the hyperechoic line at centromedian may be not clear at this phase.

2.8.3\ Measuring Method and Normal

The secretory-phase endometrium is a little thicker; the echo is a litter hyper; generally, the

secretory-phase endometrium is homogeneous; the echo and thickness of the endometrium are heterogeneous at later secretory phase. The thickness of secretory-phase endometrium is 6–14 mm.

2.8.4\ The Clinical Application Value

The thickness of the endometrium at later secretory phase is conspicuously thickening. Thickening of the endometrium with heterogeneous echo does not mean endometrial hyperplasia. If there is clinical symptom for suspecting this disease, another exam should be taken after the menstruation has just finished next month.
