Page 7 Flashcards
low-intensity curvilinear lines contained within the fibrous capsule, representing collapsed implant shell floating within the silicone gel; curvy noodle-shaped dark lines inside the implant that do not extend to the periphery
intracapsular silicone implant rupture,
intact multilumen implant (false +)
small amounts of silicone collected in a radial fold; focus of silicone gel trapped within a fold of the
implant shell
(subtle) intracapsular silicone implant rupture
microscopic silicone leaks through the intact implant shell and collect at the implant shell surface; difficult to differentite from a small intracapsular rupture
intracapsular rupture
echogenic finding caused by the slow velocity of sound in silicone with respect to the surrounding breast parenchyma; looks like air in the bowel
extracapsular rupture, gel bleed, silicone or paraffin injections
multiple thin echogenic lines within the implant that do not extend to the periphery of the implant. Thin lines represent echoes of the collapsing implant wall folding in on itself
intracapsular rupture, extracapsular rupture, intact multilumen implant (false +)
***Note: signs of intracapsular rupture will always be present with the finding of extracapsular rupture
hydrosalpinx
characteristic and definitive on plain films
leiomyoma
proliferative phase endometrium
vascular supply contiguous with the myometrium
exophytic leiomyoma
pattern of spaced dark linear echoes (shadows) emanating from the mass caused by increased absorption of sound by fibrous tissue within the tumor; may be useful in differentiating submucous
leiomyomas from endometrial polyps
leiomyoma
to differentiate from leiomyomas, lack of distinct margins and mass effect makes this appearance more characteristic of adenomyosis
adenomyosis
multiple punctate foci with high signal intensity in the junctional zone
adenomyosis
amorphous echogenic mass that fades into acoustic reverberation and shadowing
benign cystic teratoma
2 concentric lines due to the echogenic decidua capsularis-smooth chorion and the peripherally
located decidua parietalis
intrauterine pregnancy
echogenic ring formed by chorionic villi located eccentric to the endometrial cavity; not specific; tiny cystic structure / developing sac, implanted within the echogenic decidua, deviates the endometrial cavity reflection
early intrauterine pregnancy
abnormal intrauterine pregnancy or ectopic pregnancy
rare/uncommon; amniotic sac and yolk sac
(earliest demonstration of the) embryo
corpus luteum, ectopic pregnancy
extrauterine gestational sac appearing as a fluid-containing structure with an echogenic ring
ectopic pregnancy
blood in the uterine cavity surrounded bu the echogenic decidua produces cystic appearing mass
ectopic pregnancy
villi become swollen and vesicular; vesicles enlarge
H. mole (2nd tri)
theca lutein cysts seondary to the high hCG
H. mole
uterus is filled with an echogenic, solid, highly vascular mass
H. mole
normal spiral appearance of the 3-vessel cord
normal umbilical cord
ventriculomegaly
compression of the cerebellar hemispheres into a banana shape; cerebellum loses their round/lumpy appearance
Chiari II, spina bifida
bossing of the frontal bones
Chiari II, spina bifida
agenesis of corpus callosum
unicornuate uterus
fused/approximated iliac wings
caudal regression syndrome
normal
anatomic confluence of the intrahepatic portal veins
groove between the membranes at the insertion into the placenta appears thick
dichorionic-diamniotic
junction of the 3 interfetal membranes
trichorionic
insertion cleanly joins the chorionic plate of the placenta as a thin, wispy membrane
monochorionic-diamniotic
prominent or multiple hypoechoic-anechoic irregular spaces (lacunae) in the placenta
placentra accreta
hemorrhagic corpus luteum cyst
endometriomas, tubo-ovarian abscess
mucosal folds protruding into the lumen; cogwheel if tube is swollen/has thickened wall, beads-on-a- string if not
fluid-filled diseased tube
if the tube becomes blocked at the fimbrial or cornual end, it becomes convoluted and incomplete septa are visible
hydrosalpinx
PCOS
low T2 and cobblestone
leiomyoma with hyaline degeneration
layering of low-signal-intensity blood products within the cyst
endometriomas
pulling in or tethering of tissue in the glandular tissue edge
masses at the glandular edge or breast tissue
both round and linear shapes
fine linear branching calcifications in DCIS or invasive ductal ca
calcifying fibroadenomas
oval mass containing fat and fibroglandular tissue within a thin capsule or rim
hamartoma aka fibroadenolipoma
fatty hilum and close proximity to blood vessels
intramammary lymph node
suspicious enhancement curve
irregular narrowing
(intramural) TCC / tumor
ureteral dilatation distal to a filling defect / inferior margin of the lesion
TCC / tumor
may invade into and involve a large part of the kidney but the reniform shape of the kidney is usually preserved
urothelial tumor
round mass that often distorts the renal contour
RCC
normal seminal vesicles
vertically oriented bladder with irregular contour consistent with trabeculation and frequently with multiple diverticula
neurogenic bladder specifically detrusor hyperreflexia / detrusor-external sphincter dyssnergia
avascular solitary structures with concentric hyperechoic and hypoechoic rings
epidermoid cysts of the testes
dilation of the posterior urethra in males and entire urethra in females
nonneurogenic neurogenic bladder / Hinman syndrome
lower pole system is inferiorly displaced / reversal of its normal axis, fewer than normal number of its calyces, lateral deviation of its proximal ureter (all because of the dilated upper moiety)
lower pole system of ureteral duplication / presence of nonfunctioning upper pole collecting system
distal ureter protruding into the bladder lumen in the region of the trigone
orthotopic/simple/adult-type ureterocele
absence of collecting system elements or renal sinus fat in the junction of the upper and lower moieties; may help identify duplication even in plain studies
duplication
