The researchers are doing this study to see how well multiparametric ultrasound (mpUS) imaging can evaluate vaginal tissue before and after IVRT. IVRT is routinely used to treat endometrial cancer but can cause damage to the vaginal tissue (vaginal toxicity). Side effects of vaginal toxicity can include vaginal dryness, itching, soreness, discharge, narrowing or shortening of the vagina (stenosis), and vaginal fibrosis (hardening), which can affect sexual function. The researchers will also look at whether participants are able to complete (tolerate) all mpUS imaging for this study.

multiparametric ultrasound (mpUS) imaging right before IVRT, right after the last IVRT, and at 3, 6 and 12 months after IVRT
The vaginal assessment score (VAS) is a four-item measure that is administered to the patient to quantify and rate (none, mild, moderate, or severe) their perception of dryness, soreness, irritation, and pain (dyspareunia or painfulness to touch with external stimulation).

RECRUITINGfeasibility of B-mode ultrasound imaging
B-mode feasibility is defined as the ability to visualize/quantify vaginal wall thickness and echogenicity at baseline and immediately following the last IVRT treatment in 6 out of 10 patients.
