Effectiveness of the uterine artery pulsatility index as a non-invasive diagnostic method for precocious puberty and its correlation with pelvic and breast ultrasound findings, bone age, and hormonal profile

González Núñez Aidy , Karen Pérez Rivera Diana , Herrera Flores Israel

There is significant variability among diagnostic studies used for precocious puberty and their cutoff points for diagnosis. Pelvic ultrasound (PU) is a non-invasive, ionizing radiation-free diagnostic tool. Doppler flow analysis in uterine arteries, specifically the uterine pulsatility index (PI), can be a useful tool in the diagnosis and/or treatment of central precocious puberty (CPP) and has the advantage of being sensitive to hormonal changes. Its value decreases as vascu...
