Basing on the pathological reports 47 \(54%\) women were classified as stage IA \(none or less than 50% myometrial invasion\), 40 \(46%\) as at least stage IB \(equal to or more than 50% myometrial invasion\). Myometrial involvement was examined by means of all applied methods, which were compared. Overall accuracy and Cohen's kappa coefficient were calculated. For predicting myometrial involvement the highest overall accuracy and kappa value were found using the method developed by the author \(88.5% and 0.77\). Overall accuracy for the methods numbered 1 and 2 \(endometrial thickness and AP uterine diameter ratio in 2D and 3D\) was 75.86% and 78.16% respectively\; and Cohen's kappa coefficient 0.5 and 0.56 respectively. High compliance, comparable to the author’s system, also appeared in the method numbered 6 \(kappa value \- 0.7\). Remaining results calculated for the additional methods were much lower than those shown above. For predicting cervical stromal infiltration overall accuracy and kappa were found as 88.5% and 0.62. By excluding 3 cases of microinvasion \(unable to detect under ultrasound resolution\) accuracy increased to 92% and kappa to 0.71. Only 7 out of 84 patients were incorrectly staged. In the distant tumour extent evaluation, ultrasound scans defined 11 cases as advanced. Compliance between ultrasound and surgical \-pathol"]
