Hello

Your wife's ultrasound findings suggests increased endometrial thickness.
Firstly,I suggest for biopsy.
This condition also need clinical correlation.
Increased endometrial thickness may be due to both reasons,benign or malignant.
Biopsy is very helpful in assessing nature of endometrial thickening.
Treatment depend upon findings.

MRI can be done if there is doubt regarding malignancy to assess spread of disease,other wise it is not necessary.

Get well soon.
Take Care
