Vaginal sonography was used as a prebioptic examination for screening of endometrial carcinoma in postmenopausal women in a risk group (diabetes, hypertension, obesity) without a history of haemorrhage. The examination was made in 104 women. In 23 patients the ultrasonic finding was suspect and subsequent abrasion revealed in three instances carcinoma of the endometrium (2.88%). The authors consider vaginal sonography as important prebioptic method of endometrial cancer in the risk group of women after the menopause.
