Obligatory medical device diagnostics.
- Vaginal ultrasonography (ultrasound using an ultrasound probe inserted into the vagina) – for bleeding disorders or palpation findings (palpation findings).
- Abdominal sonography (ultrasound examination of the abdominal organs) – in the case of very large fibroids (eg, the size of a child’s head) possibly in addition to vaginal sonography.
Optional medical device diagnostics – depending on the results of the history, physical examination and the obligatory laboratory parameters – for differential diagnostic clarification.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdomen (abdominal MRI)/pelvis (pelvic MRI) – indications (indications for use):
-
- When a final assessment by sonography is not possible.
- When adenomyosis or leiomyosarcoma is urgently suspected and therapy is relevant.
- Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen (abdominal CT)/pelvis (pelvic CT) – in case of inconclusive findings.
