Abstract
Precise evaluation of endometrial injury is significant to clinical decision-making in gynecological disease and assisted reproductive technology. However, there is a lack of assessment methods for endometrium in vivo. In this research, we intend to develop quantitative imaging markers with optical coherence tomography (OCT)/ultrasound (US) integrated imaging system through intrauterine endoscopic imaging. OCT/US integrated imaging system was established as our previous research reported. The endometrial injury model was established and after treatment, OCT/US integrated imaging and uterus biopsy was performed to evaluate the endometrial thickness, number of superficial fold, and intrauterine area. According to the results, three quantitative indexes acquired from OCT/US image and HE staining have the same trend and have a strong relationship with the severity of the endometrial injury. Accordingly, we developed three imaging markers for quantitative analysis of endometrial injury in vivo, which provided a precise mode for endometrium evaluation in clinical practice.
