Mullerian Abnormalities

Mullerian Abnormalities occur when Mullerian ducts ( a critical component of the reproductive system) develop abnormally, which can disrupt the development of the entire reproductive system, including the fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and upper two-thirds of the vagina.

Which Ultrasound Scanner is best for Mullerian Anomalies assessment?

The low-frequency 3.5 to 5 MHz Wireless Color Doppler Convex Ultrasound Scanner CC-3.1 is the best for a gynecologist to assess and visualize the Mullerian anomalies of the uterine.

Ultrasound is a vital imaging option that lends itself well to the assessment of the uterine anomalies during pregnancy. The ability to accurately identify the nature of an anomaly becomes difficult as pregnancy progresses, but early in pregnancy three-dimensional ultrasound can be used to evaluate both the uterine contour and cavity. 

The use of cervical length ultrasound to stratify patients at greatest risk of preterm delivery is routinely used in other high-risk obstetric populations and may prove beneficial in women with uterine anomalies.

3D ultrasound allows us to make measurements such as the length and thickness of the septum, calculate the volume of the cavity, and study the vascularization, which can affect fertility prognosis, thus aiding the choice of treatment.

Yet, on 3D ultrasound, the connection of the cavity with the fundus is obvious, allowing accurate diagnosis thanks to the contribution of the C‐plane (coronal) that is impossible to acquire in most cases on 2D ultrasound yet is essential to the diagnosis of these anomalies.

To sum up, ultrasound has the ability to observe uterine malformations with less extreme forms (arcuate, septate, and bicornuate uterus) two cavities with further details.
