Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the added value of three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound (3D TVUS) and gel infusion sonography (3D GIS) for diagnosing a partition in the uterus (uterine septum) in comparison to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The main question it aims to answer is: How well do 3D TVUS and 3D GIS detect a uterine septum compared to MRI? Participants will receive 3D TVUS/ 3D GIS and MRI, and will complete questionnaires.
