Re: Best time frame for sonohystograms? From: Allen Worrall (jworrall@alaska.net) Wed Jul 31 23:28:08 2002 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Previous message: Cheryl Vance, MA, RT, RDMS: "Best time frame for sonohystograms?" Maybe in reply to: Cheryl Vance, MA, RT, RDMS: "Best time frame for sonohystograms?" I do not think it is a very important issue, because if the sonohysterogram is successful, the thickness of the endometrium is not going to be a major factor. However, I would agree that a few days after the menses might have a small advantage. A very small polyp might be obscured by a thick luteal phase endometrium. Also if you do the sonohysterogram just at the end of a menses or a day or two later, you will lessen the chance of doing it during a very early and undiagnosable conception. Welcome Cheryl and congratulations on your accomplishments.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
