Congenital Uterine malformations may be due to arrested development or failure of fusion of the Mullerian ducts or failure of resorption of the median septum. The prevalence of uterine malformations is difficult to establish. There are two techniques which is indeed relevant for the diagnosis: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ultrasound. There is a lack of studies comparing these two techniques for the diagnosis and categorisation of Uterine malformations. Hence the present study was done to determine the specificity and sensitivity of Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging in diagnosing Uterine anomalies. The study was performed with 40 women who were referred to the Radiology department with clinical complaints of infertility, miscarriage, primary amenorrhea. Each patient underwent ultrasound examination, followed by MRI. The results were statistically analysed. MRI has greater sensitivity in detecting uterine anomalies when compared to Ultrasound
