ABSTRACT
A pelvic hypervascular blush often creates a diagnostic dilemma during radionuclide abdominal imaging studies in females. This blush is shown to be due to uterine vascularity that is more prominent in the secretory and menstrual phases of the menstrual cycle. Significant uterine vascularity in the earlier phases is inappropriate and may be pathologic. Three such cases are presented in which increased uterine vascularity on radionuclide imaging during the proliferative phase either lead to a diagnosis or supported a clinical finding.
