Abstract

Uterine peristalsis imaging (UPI) can provide objective, quantitative measures of uterine peristalsis (UP). Unlike other modalities, the contractile activity seen during UP can be quantitatively measured and reliably observed with UPI. With 3D accuracy, which takes into consideration the individual's unique uterine anatomy, the site of initiation and termination of the contraction are mapped along with the characterization of the direction, duration, and magnitude of the contractile forces. Novel peristalsis indices were developed for quantitative characterization of uterine contractile patterns. This includes measuring the duration and magnitude of UP. This assessment can be performed in a noninvasive way with little patient discomfort for a prolonged period.
