Q

Which place determines volume size?

A

C/Z= Coronal

20
Q

What has the lowest resolution ? Order of lowest to highest

A
  1. C/Z= Coronal - lowest
    B/Y = transverse
    A/X, = Sagittal
21
Q

The red dot application on EV

A

put in endo tissue in 3 planes

to look at endo

22
Q

Virtual rescan not limited to these 3 images .

Describe (4)

A

a multitude of images maybe reconstructed
can rotate images in any axis
can sweep through each plane
similar to repositioning transducer

23
Q

What is Tomographic US? (4)

A

similar to CT and MRI
Multislice
Doppler and Power Doppler can be used
More uniform protocols similar to our other modalities

24
Q

What is Rendering Modes?

A

Different algorithms used to display 3D data on screen

Look at bone (skull) or soft tissue

25
Q

What are the 3 surface rendering settings?

A
  1. Surface Smooth
  2. Surface texture
  3. Gradient light
26
Q

What is Surface smooth?

A

gives face smooth surface or skin. no underlying structures are displayed

27
Q

What is surface texture?

A

enhances details of a surface

28
Q

What is gradient light?

A

illuminating giving depth impression- more live like

29
Q

Electronic eraser is?

A

removes unwanted structures from image, placenta from face, uterine wall

30
Q

X ray mode/Max skeletal

A
eliminates weaker signals like ST
visualize bone (stronger signal) 
Why? some syndromes have wormian bones (downs, and skeletal dysplasia)
31
Q

Inversion

A

hypoechoic structure turned into solid structure
a digital cast.
grey scale removed
cystic area visualized as an echogenic area

32
Q

Inversion technique with Obstetrical used with

A

Fetal ventricles
Dilated fetal urinary tract
Heart and vessels
Fetal stomach

33
Q

Inversion technique with Gynecology used with

A

Saline filled UT - sonohysterography
PCOS
Hydrosalpinx
Follicle monitoring

34
Q

Glass body or Transparency is used in conjunction with?

A

Color doppler

35
Q

Glass body or Transparency is tissue transparent and allows one to see ___better

A

vessels.

Grey scale completely removed

36
Q

VOCAL stands for?

A

Virtual Organ Computer Aided Analysis

37
Q

How does VOCAL SOFTWARE work?

A

measures volume or an irregular object. Maps it, rotated 180 around a fixed central axis and creates 3D model

38
Q

What is the difference between 3D vs 4D

A

4D is just 3D live real time.

3D = static, single sweep, volume stored and viewed

39
Q

Why use 3D/4D in Gyne?(6)

A
Congenital Ut abnormalities 
IUCD location - perforation?
Endometrial lesions - ashermans, polyps, fibroids
Origin or adnexal masses
Sonohysterography
Infertility evaluations
40
Q

Bicornuate Ut

A

“bunny ears”
2 Uterus. Indentation >1 cm
(maybe us 2 IUCDs)

41
Q

Subseptate Vs Septate

A

Septate- all the way through, 2 endo canals, 1 Ut

42
Q

Arcuate Uterus is?

A
