Abstract
We present our initial experience of using the HDlive Flow silhouette mode to construct images of two cases of uterine enhanced myometrial vascularity/arteriovenous malformations (EMV/AVMs). In the first case, the HDlive Flow silhouette mode clearly depicted a fused vascular tumor with irregular contour in the posterior myometrium. In the second case, a large hypervascular mass occupying the entire fundal
lesion of the uterus was clearly identified using the HDlive Flow silhouette mode. Moreover, spatial relationships among the hypervascular mass, intrauterine blood collection, and dilated, spiral-shaped right uterine artery enabled the clear localization of the mass. The HDlive Flow silhouette mode provides a novel, unique sonographic image of uterine EMV/AVMs, and might facilitate their diagnosis and localization in the myometrium.
