✦ Synopsis

A rapid screening technique for tbe presentation of uterine cavity anatomy obtained with MR is described. MR hyster@graphic (MRHG) images were generated and evaluated for uterine cavity abnormaIities. Six patients referred for MRI evabation of the uterus for infertility had an MRI using a pelvic phased array coil with axiaI 3 mm luterleaved fast spin echo images (TR 9000 ms, TE 288 ms with fat saturation) processed using maximum intensity projection aIgorithms to construct MRHG images. Using the conventional MR sequence as the gold standard the MRHG images were evaluated by two reviewers and accuracy calcuIated. MRHG took less than 3 min, demonstrated the correct diagnosis in aI with a quality score of diagnostic to optimal, and with excellent interobserver agreement (kappa 0.9).
