The aim of the study is to improve the diagnostic approach in assessing the state of the endometrium with the help of ultrasonic endometrial diagnostics in accordance with the IETА criteria in combination with three-dimensional Doppler indices, calculating the volume of the endometrium, and the 3D reconstruction in postmenopausal women. 167 postmenopausal women underwent a 2D pelvic ultrasound examination and a combined three-dimensional complex pelvic ultrasound examination that included calculation of the volume of the endometrium, three-dimensional dopplerometric indices (vascularization index, blood flow index and vascularization ratio), and 3D-reconstruction mode. In the second stage, the patients underwent hysteroscopy/endometrial bipyroscopy with morphological evaluation of tissue samples, which retrospectively performed analysis of echographic and dopplerometric criteria in patients with benign changes in the endometrium and their comparison with atrophic endometrium.

Abnormal uterine bleeding in women aged 35 years or over is an important clinical sign of many gynecological conditions. The diagnoses of these conditions require the pathological report of the endometrial tissue. Outpatient-based endometrial biopsy is an excellent option compared to standard fractional uterine curettage or hysteroscopy with endometrial biopsy in providing a definite diagnosis for abnormal uterine bleeding as it is less painful and does not require high potency anesthesia.
