Q

Before you push the endocavitary probe farther in, try ______________.

31
Q

Measure the HR with ________ mode.

A

M

32
Q

Before diagnosing an IUP, you need to verify in two planes that the gestational sac is surrounded by at least __________ of myometrium.

A

5 mm

This is because an interstitial ectopic can be surrounded by myometrium on one side but not another.

33
Q

The embryo closest to the _________ is referred to as embryo A.

A

cervix

34
Q

Pregnancy failure is diagnosed by gestational sac > ___ mm w/ no yolk sac or embryo.

A

16 mm

35
Q

Yolk sac greater than _____ mm is suspicious for pregnancy failure.

A

7

36
Q

What scans are needed for an ectopic evaluation?

A
  • Transabdominal sagittal and transverse looking at the uterus and adnexa
  • Transvaginal sagittal and transverse looking at the uterus and adnexa
  • Morrison’s pouch
37
Q

Definitive ectopic findings are seen in only ___% of ectopic pregnancies.

A

20

38
Q

What features suggest pseudogestational sac?

A

Located centrally (as opposed to eccentrically) within the endometrial cavity and with only one layer of wall instead of the double decidual sign

39
Q

The trilaminar sign is sensitive for what?

A

Ectopic pregnancy

This is three echogenic lines in the uterus with no fluid between.

40
Q

What is the differential for an anechoic structure in the cervical canal?

A
  • Cervical ectopic pregnancy
  • Miscarriage in process
  • Nabothian cyst
41
Q

The incidence of heterotopic pregnancy in women who’ve undergone IVF treatment is as high as ________.

A

1:50

42
Q

Fetal cardiac activity is typically only detectable after _____ weeks gestation.

A

6

43
Q

The ovaries are ___________ to the internal iliac vessels.

A

anteromedial

44
Q

In the transverse transvaginal exam, the indicator is pointed toward the patient’s ____________.

A

right

45
Q

What common pathology shows up as an anechoic circle in the lower uterine segment?

A

Nabothian cyst

These are endocervical glands that become filled with fluid.

46
Q

How do you discriminate between a Nabothian cyst and a cervical ectopic pregnancy?

A

Nabothian cysts have no surrounding desidual reaction and are located within the myometrium

47
Q

The outermost layer of the uterus that fibroids can be in is called what?

A

Subserousal

48
Q

What are the findings of ovarian torsion?

A

Enlarged ovary
Heterogenous appearance (due to ischemia)
Twisted pedicle
Absent flow (usually a late finding)
Whirlpool sign

49
Q

How can you tell a high-resistance waveform?

A

There will be an abrupt cutoff of the spectral waveform in diastole

50
Q

How do theca lutein cysts appear?

A

Bilateral enlarged ovaries with multiple thin walled cysts

These are often seen in molar pregnancies.

51
Q

How many cysts per ovary are needed for PCOS diagnosis?

A

25

52
Q

The cysts of PCOS are typically what size?

A

2-9 mm

53
Q

Where are the cysts in PCOS typically located?

A

Peripherally

54
Q

Other than an ectopic pregnancy, what adnexal masses also have the ring of fire sign?

A

Corpus luteum cysts

If you can determine that it is intraovarian then you can be sure it is a corpus luteum cyst, otherwise you may not be able to distinguish them

55
Q

In what two scenarios is it normal to see dilated fallopian tubes (i.e., hydrosalpinx)?

A

After a hysterectomy or tubal ligation

56
Q

Dilated fallopian tube has what classic US appearance?

A

Serpiginous tube

57
Q

What is one sign that pelvic fluid is pathogenic?

A

Echogenic fluid

Physiologic fluid will never have internal echos.

58
Q

What are the rough markers of small, moderate, and large volume free pelvic fluid?

A

Small: isolated to the lower uterine segment
Moderate: rises above the lower uterine segment (to the mid uterus) but there is no connection to fluid beyond the uterus
Large: extends beyond the uterus to the peritoneum

59
Q

Lie refers to what aspect of the fetus?

A

“Lie” refers to if the baby is in plane with the mother, transverse, or oblique

60
Q

Sonographically, what does twin A and twin B refer to?

A

Twin B is the one farther from the cervix

61
Q

What are the two ways of measuring amniotic fluid?

A

Maximum vertical pocket and amniotic fluid index

MVP is preferred – recently shown to have just as good diagnostic sensitivity for oligo- and polyhydramnios with decreased rates of obstetric intervention and similar rates of maternal adverse outcomes.

62
Q

How do you measure MVP?

A

Sagittal orientation, sweep through, find the deepest pocket free of fetal parts and cord

63
Q

What is normal MVP?

A

2 - 8 cm

64
Q

What is normal AFI?

A

5 - 20 cm (in 2nd and 3rd trimesters)

65
Q

How do you measure AFI?

A

Same as MVP: sagittal orientation, divide into quarters, sum the deepest pocket in each

66
Q

What is the most common cause of 3rd trimester vaginal bleeding?

A

Placenta previa

67
Q

With placental localization, it’s most important to find the ________ edge.

A

inferior

Seeing the inferior edge is needed to rule or placenta previa.

68
Q

What are the three grades of placenta previa?

A

Low-lying: placenta is within 2 cm of the os

Marginal: placenta is on the edge of the cervical os

Complete: placenta covers the os

69
Q

Where is BPD measured?

A

At the level of the septum pellucidum

70
Q

Where on the skull (like, the leading edges) is BPD measured?

A

Outer skull to inner skull

71
Q

How is head circumference measured?

A

At the level of the septum pellucidum, fit an ellipse on the outside of the parietal bones

72
Q

What are the landmarks of abdominal circumference?

A

Above the kidneys (they should not be seen), below the heart (also should not be seen), visualizing the aorta, umbilical vein, and stomach

73
Q

Measure abdominal circumference on the ______ of the skin.

A

outer (like HC)

74
Q

When measuring femur length, do not include the _____________.
