fetal and obstetric imaging Flashcards
indications of utz
locating pregnancy identifying number of embryos aiding in prenatal diagnosis estimating gestational age evaluating suspected trophoblastic ds
what to look for in utz?
gestational sac, shape, location and number presence/absence of embryo CRL & YS presence/absence of fetal cardiac motion w/ m-mode measure YS AP diameter, check shape evaluate for subchorionic hemorrhage evaluate adnexal mass document presence/absence of free fluid document length & status of cervix measure nuchal translucency
utz findings of early pregnancy
GS MSD YS fetal pole CRL
confirming intrauterine gestation (3)
double decidual sign
intradecidual sign
double bleb sign
first sign of early pregnancy on TVS at approx. 3-5 wks when MSD is 2-3mm
GS
true GS can be distinguished from pseudogestational sac by?
normal eccentric location and embedded in endometrium
double decidual sign is seen at _wks?
4.5-5 wks
YS is seen at _wks?
5.5 wks
discriminatory hCG with TVS vs TAS
TVS: 1000-2000 IU/L
TAS: >6500 IU/L
MSD is seen at _wks?
3 wks
MSD >25mm w/ absent fetal pole interpretation
pregnancy failure
MSD 16-24mm w/o embryo interpretation
suspicious pregnancy failure
MSD 8mm, YS should be visible, absence of YS is an indication of pregnancy failure, T or F?
false (absence of YS is not an indication of pregnancy failure)
first anatomical structure identified w/in GS
YS
site of initial hematopoiesis
YS
YS involutes at _wks and undetectable after _wks
11 wks
14-20 wks
appear circular thick-walled echogenic structure w/ an anechoic center w/in GS but outside amniotic membrane
YS
YS is seen in TVS at _wks while in TAS at _wks
TVS: 5.5 wks (MSD 8-10m)
TAS: 7 wks (MSD 20mm)
first direct imaging manifestation of fetus
fetal pole
seen as thickening on the margin of YS
fetal pole
fetal pole is seen in TVS at _wks while in TAS at _wks
TVS: 6 wks (MSD >16mm)
TAS: 6.5 wks (MSD >25mm)
most accurate estimation of gestational age in early pregnancy
CRL
