Exam 6 Flashcards
what views are used for IUD localization?
AP and lateral projections of the abdomen, occasionally obliques
most IUDs are radiopaque but radiography alone is not a reliable method for IUD localization
investigates congenital malformations and fistula’s
Vaginography
what contrast is used for a vaginography?
thin barium and water-soluble organic iodinated non-ionic
what supplies are used for vaginography and where are they placed?
catheter and rectal retention device
placed at either entrance or distal end of canal
where is the CR placed and what are the views for vaginography?
CR at superior border of pubic symphysis
o Lateral - Low rectovaginal fistula
o Obliques – Sigmoid or Ileum
an accessory genital organ, is cone-shaped and averages 1 1/4 inches in length
encircles the proximal portion of the male urethra
prostate
the ducts of the prostate open into the
prostatic portion of the urethra
investigation of the prostate by radiographic, cystographic, or vesiculographic procedures. rare study, usually performed with sonography or MRI
prostatography
16-18 inches long and extends from the tail of the epididymis to the posterior surface of the urinary bladder. near its termination the duct expands into an ampulla for storage of seminal fluid and ends by uniting with the duct of the seminal vesicles
ductus deferens
sacculated structures about 2 inches long that are situated obliquely on the lateroposterior surface of the bladder where each slants inferiorly and medially to the base of the prostate
seminal vesicles
formed by the union of the ductus deferens and the duct of the seminal vesicles. averages about 1/2 inch in length and originate behind the neck of the bladder. these ducts eject sperm into the urethra
ejaculatory ducts
male testis (homologous to female ovaries). Produce gametes and secrete hormones
gonads
mature haploid germ cell that can unite with another of opposite sex to form a zygote
gamete
HSG canulization/ Why perform this study?
Used for the delivery of contrast media or saline into the uterine cavity during hysterosalpingography (HSG) for examination of the uterus and fallopian tubes
rounded most superior portion of uterus
fundus
