ULTRASONIC DIAGNOSIS METHOD FOR DETERMINING HYPERPLASTIC PROCESSES IN ENDOMETRIUM Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A61B8/00 A61B8/08 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves recording middle uterus echo and endometrium volume. Uterus body volume is additionally determined and endometrium volume to uterus body volume ratio index (EV/UV) is calculated. The index values within 5 to 10% are thought to be norm for reproductive age women. The EV/UV value being between 10 and 19%, the women are thought to belong to risk group and ultrasonic control is advised for being carried out within 1 year. The value being between 19 and 40%, it is advised to the female patients to pass through diagnostic endometrectomy procedure and carry out histological examination. The value being greater than 40%, the women are sent to be treated in oncological clinical centers. The EV/UV value between 3 and 7% is considered to be norm for female patients within their 5 years long postmenopausal period. The value being between 7 to 13%, the women are included into risk group and ultrasonic control is to be carried out within six months. The value being between 13 to 35% corresponding to endometrium hyperplasia, it is advised to the female patient group to pass through diagnostic endometrectomy procedure and then to carry out histological examination. The value being greater than 35%, treatment in an oncological clinical center is recommended.

EFFECT: high reliability and accuracy of diagnosis.
