Objectives: After studying the article entitled “Endo-metrial and Myometrial Multidimensional Growth During the Cycle,” you will be able to:
Understand the correlation of endometrial and myometrial changes in more than one dimension
Describe the ratio between endometrial and myometrial area thickness
Understand that the knowledge of baseline ratios of normal uteri could help in the assessment of congenital anomalies
The ratio between which measurements was evaluated with its relationship to the endometrial thickness in this study? Endometrial width and length Myometrium and endometrium Endometrial width and myometrial thickness Myometrial volume and area
Which group of patients was excluded from this study? Those undergoing in vitro fertilization Primigravida women Postmenopausal women Those with uterine malformations
Which hormone level was found to correspond with endometrial thickness, area, and volume? Luteinizing hormone Progesterone Estradiol Follicle-stimulating hormone
Which measurement strongly correlated with endometrial thickness? Endometrial volume Myometrial area Endometrial area Myometrial volume
How did the endometrial proliferation change during the menstrual cycle in this study? Width and thickness only Width more than thickness Only the thickness In all three dimensions
In which situation does this study propose that 3D measurements would be a better approach for endometrial evaluation? Breakthrough bleeding In vitro fertilization Postmenopausal bleeding Submucosal fibroids
Which measurement did this study find to correlate better with circulating E2 than endometrial thickness? Endometrial volume Endometrial width Myometrial volume Endometrial area
