Abstract

Objective To investigate value of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of congenital double angular deformity of uterus. Methods Retrospective analysis MRI findings and clinical data from 13 cases with double angular deformity of uterus , different scanning positions of MRI on bicornuate uterus malformation were compared, and compared with hysteroscopy and operation results. Results MRI results was consistent with hysteroscopy and operation results in 12 cases, the accurate rate of congenital double angular uterine malformation diagnosis of MRI was 92.3%, 13 were diagnosed with oblique coronal, axial diagnosis in 8 cases, the sagittal cannot make a clear diagnosis. Conclusion MRI is the best noninvasive method to congenital uterine malformation of double angle in qualitative and quantitative diagnosis because it can directly display the uterine cavity structure and the fundus appearance and can obtain accurate analysis of quantitative; MRI has high accuracy in the diagnosis of congenital uterine malformation of double angle, and oblique coronal T2WI imaging combined with axial T2WI is the best check position.
