Can mri distinguish between fibroid and polyp in uterus?

SISH: Transvaginal ultrasound with saline infusion (sish) is a better test, and done by the gyn specialist who can treat you.

Agree with Dr Swor : Saline sonohysterography is the test to evaluate endometrial polyp vs. Submucosal fibroid. A tiny straw is inserted in to the uterine cavity followed by a transvaginal ultrasound probe in vagina. Sterile water is instilled while watching the water separate the front and back walls of the uterine cavity on ultrasound. It can detect tiny polyps too small to see on regular ultrasound or mri.
