Abstract：
OBJECTIVE:To determine whether it is possible to identify and diagnose accurately Müllerian anomalies with three-dimensional (3-D) ultrasound (US). DESIGN:Controlled blinded clinical study. SETTING:Normal human volunteers undergoing infertility evaluation in a university hospital. PATIENTS:Forty-two patients who underwent laparoscopy and hysterosalpingography as part of their work up for infertility and were found to have either a normal uterus (30 patients) or a Müllerian abnormality (12 patients) consented to be evaluated with 3-D US by sonographers who were unaware of their infertility history or of their laparoscopy and hysterosalpingography diagnoses. INTERVENTIONS:Transvaginal 3-D US evaluation over a 10- to 15-minute duration. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Three-dimensional imaging was successful in all cases. RESULTS:Sonographers identified a Müllerian anomaly in all cases and came up with the correct classification in 11 of 12 cases. All patients with a normal uterus were identified correctly. CONCLUSIONS:In all patients with Müllerian anomalies, 3-D US examination of the endometrial cavity correlated with hysterosalpingography. In 91.6% of patients, 3-D US correlated with the external uterine configuration observed by laparoscopy. This technique may be used reliably in an office setting to diagnose and classify Müllerian anomalies.

临床试验,杂志文章abstract：:Serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA) usually correlate well with the rate of spermatogenesis. However, in certain cases this correlation does not exist. The purpose of this study was to establish a reliable bioassay of FSH for the andrological clinic. Follicle-stimulating ...
