dc.description.abstract	Aim: Diagnostic accuracy of transabdominal ultrasound for diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma in postmenopausal bleeding women taking histopathology as gold standard. Setting: The study was conducted in Department of Radiology, Services Hospital, Lahore. Methodology: A total of 345 cases fulfilling the inclusion/exclusion criteria were enrolled from Obstetrics & Gynecology Department, SIMS, Lahore. Ultrasound with doppler method was done. Thickness of endometrium with uterine artery resistive index was recorded. Patients with endometrial thickness >5mm and uterine artery resistive index <0.7 considered as endometrial carcinoma and biopsy was taken. Conclusion: Doppler ultrasound in diagnosing endometrial carcinoma with post-menopausal bleeding is helpful with good sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV.	en_US
