Sechenov University Develops Virtual Diagnostic Method for Conditions Linked to Infertility

The noninvasive procedure takes no more than 30 minutes and poses no health risks to patients.

Sechenov University has patented a technology known as "virtual hysteroscopy," a new method for diagnosing uterine cavity disorders without surgical intervention. Researchers say the approach could significantly improve the chances of pregnancy while reducing the time needed to treat infertility.

Conventional diagnostic methods require an invasive procedure performed under anesthesia. They also carry a risk of damaging internal tissues, which can lead to complications.

The new technology is based on comprehensive 3D imaging using HDlive technology. The examination takes between 15 and 30 minutes.

"Compared with 2D imaging, 3D imaging detects endometrial polyps much more often," said Elena Minashkina, an ultrasound physician at the Assisted Reproductive Technologies Department of the Sechenov Center for Maternity and Childhood. "At the same time, the likelihood of a false result is 4.4 times lower."

Researchers say the widespread adoption of the technology could open up new possibilities in reproductive medicine.
