Abstract
Hysterosalpingography was the traditional method for the diagnosis of uterine anomalies. It is an invasive test with exposure to radiation. It provides a good outline of the uterine cavity, but the distinction between bicornuate and septate uterus often required laparoscopy. Sonography and Doppler imaging provide detailed evaluation of both the uterine cavity and myometrium. However, ultrasound is an operator-dependant exam and hard-copy images can be difficult to interpret for a third-party. MRI and 3D/4D Ultrasound generate coronal views of the myometrium and uterine cavity that are easy for clinicians to visualize and are now the method of choice for the diagnosis uterovaginal malformations.
