1
Q

Uterine fibroids
1. Characteristic MR appearance?
2. Degeneration of fibroid characteristic?
3. Types of degeneration and their imaging appearance?

A
  1. Low T1, low T2, variable enhancement
  2. Involution of blood supply - loss of enhancement
  3. Hyaline - T2 dark; red (carneous, pregnancy) - T1 bright rim; myxoid - T2 bright

Q

Cervical cancer
1. Key distinction to make on staging?

A
  1. Is there parametrial invasion - yes, it’s IIb and you need chemo/rad. No, it’s IIa and you have surgery.

Q

Endometrioma appearance
1. on US?
2. on MR?
3. how to distinguish from haemorrhagic cyst?

A
  1. Homogenous, low level internal echoes (snowglobe), increased through transmission
  2. T1 bright (blood), T2 dark (methaemoglobin), so called “T2 shading”, no loss of signal on fat sat
  3. Haemorrhagic cyst will resolve in 1-2 cycles

Q

How might you distinguish serous from mucinous ovarian tumour on CT/MR?

A

Calcifications - likely to be serous
High T1 cyst contents - likely to be mucinous

17
Q

On dermoid cysts:

“mature benign cystic teratoma”

  • US features
  • MR features
  • what is the Rokitansky nodule/dermal plug?
A
  • may be cystic with nodule; hyperechoic with acoustic shadowing from calcs; fluid-fluid level; cyst with fine internal echogenic lines - hair
  • fat components follow fat on all sequences; may be low SI from calcification; fluid-fluid levels
  • solid protuberance projecting into ovarian dermoid cyst
18
Q

Most common location for an ectopic pregnancy?

A

Tube - ampulla

19
Q

Intradecidual sign

A

A sign of early IUP - early gestational sac

20
Q

Double decidual sac sign

A

A sign of early IUP - two concentric echogenic rings outlining the anechoic gestational sac

21
Q

At what size should you be able to identify a yolk sac TV? Embryo?

A

8-10mm (20 on TA) size gestational sac diameter. Embryo - 16-18mm.

If not, suspicious for pregnancy failure

22
Q

Signs of ectopic pregnancy?

A

Pseudogestational sac
Tubal ring sign (second most common)
Adnexal mass separate from ovary (most common) - most specific if YS or embryo with heartbeat
Ring of fire - may be seen in corpus luteum

23
Q

What is diagnostic of pregnancy failure?

A

No fetal pole when MSD 25mm on TVS

No heartbeat 14 days after seeing GS without YS or 11 days after seeing GS + YS

CRL of 7 or more and no heartbeat

24
Q

Endometrium thickness in post-menopausal woman?

A

<5mm
