ABSTRACT: Purpose: This review examines the diagnostic value of transvaginal 3D ultrasound
image texture analysis for the diagnosis of uterine adhesions. Materials and
Methods: The total clinical data of 53 patients with uterine adhesions
diagnosed by hysteroscopy and the imaging data of transvaginal three-dimensional
ultrasound from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from June 2022 to August 2023
were retrospectively analysed. Based on hysteroscopic surgical records,
patients were divided into two independent groups: normal endometrium and
uterine adhesion sites. The samples were divided into a training set and a test
set, and the transvaginal 3D ultrasound was used to outline the region of
interest (ROI) and extract texture features for normal endometrium and uterine
adhesions based on hysteroscopic surgical recordings, the training set data
were feature screened and modelled using lasso regression and cross-validation,
and the diagnostic efficacy of the model was
assessed by applying the subjects’ operating characteristic (ROC)
curves. Results: For each group, 290 texture feature parameters were
extracted and three higher values were screened out, and the area under the
curve of the constructed ultrasonographic scoring model was 0.658 and 0.720 in
the training and test sets, respectively. Conclusion Relative clinical value of
transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasound image texture analysis for the
diagnosis of uterine adhesions.
