Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data from 32 patients with post-cesarean section uterine diverticulum over three recent years. In all patients, transvaginal 3D ultrasound was used to measure the size of the uterine diverticulum and the thickness of the lower uterine segment (LUS) and myometrium. Patients with a LUS with a myometrial thickness under 4 mm underwent resection and repair surgery;those with a LUS with a myometrial thickness over 4 mm underwent hysteroscopic resection. The postoperative sonograms were compared with preoperative images to evaluate the efficacy of various treatments. Results: The mean length, width and depth of the uterine diverticula were 18.30 ± 2.80 mm, 9.14 ± 3.20 mm and 11.49 ± 2.71 mm, respectively. The average LUS myometrial thickness was 3.40 ± 0.80 mm (with a range of 1.6 mm - 6.3 mm). After surgery, two patients’ sonograms still showed diverticula at the post-cesarean section scar, measuring 6 mm × 7 mm × 6 mm and 6 mm × 8 mm × 4 mm. There were significant differences in the size of uterine diverticula between preoperative and postoperative sonograms (P < 0.05) and the effective rate of surgery was 93.75% (30/32). Conclusions: Transvaginal 3D ultrasound is an accurate method for detecting post-cesarean section uterine diverticulum and is helpful for assessing surgical options and prognosis. The LUS myometrial thickness, which is considered as an optional index of post-cesarean section uterine diverticulum, should be measured routinely.展开更多

Materials and Methods: The total clinical data of 53 patients with uterine adhesions diagnosed by hysteroscopy and the imaging data of transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasound from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from June 2022 to August 2023 were retrospectively analysed. Based on hysteroscopic surgical records, patients were divided into two independent groups: normal endometrium and uterine adhesion sites. The samples were divided into a training set and a test set, and the transvaginal 3D ultrasound was used to outline the region of interest (ROI) and extract texture features for normal endometrium and uterine adhesions based on hysteroscopic surgical recordings, the training set data were feature screened and modelled using lasso regression and cross-validation, and the diagnostic efficacy of the model was assessed by applying the subjects’ operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results: For each group, 290 texture feature parameters were extracted and three higher values were screened out, and the area under the curve of the constructed ultrasonographic scoring model was 0.658 and 0.720 in the training and test sets, respectively. Conclusion Relative clinical value of transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasound image texture analysis for the diagnosis of uterine adhesions.展开更多
