Abstract
Intrauterine sonography (hysterosonography) is useful for visualising malignant processes in the myometrium. Since normally no sound-wave source is available for beaming the sound waves in strictly anterograde direction, the authors examined which sections of the fundus of the uterus cannot be assessed, and discussed the possibilities of reducing the area and also the importance of the inaccessible region. It was found that normally a satisfactory assessment would be possible in clinical routine even in the region of the fundus by the combined shifting of the geometrical axis of the sound waves and the use of transducers from which the sound waves emanate in anterograde direction at an angle of 135 degrees.
