Abstract
Summary. Uterine size, endometrial thickness and ovarian volume were measured ultrasonically and the results compared with caliper measurements made shortly afterwards at the time of total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo‐oophorectomy. The results establish the validity of ultrasound measurements. Histological studies also confirmed the diagnosis made with ultrasound of polycystic ovaries in women complaining of pain due to pelvic congestion.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
