OB/GYN Ultrasound
Gynecological Ultrasound
Ultrasound is playing an increasingly important role in gynecology. Applications of
gynecological ultrasound include general screening of women who are currently or have
previously experienced menopause, and special diagnostic and therapeutic procedures,
such as ovarian cyst aspirations and sonohysterograms (evaluation of the internal surface
of the uterus). Gynecologic ultrasound provides visualization of the uterus and ovaries
that may add important additional information not demonstrated using other imaging
methods or with physical exam findings.
You will leave this course with a thorough understanding of this modality. Model demonstrations
and hands-on scanning will present opportunities to have specific questions
answered. The addition of Doppler to the study will allow inclusion of several pathological
conditions not otherwise visualized.
Objectives
At the completion of the course, the learner will be able to:
• Successfully complete endovaginal ultrasound examinations
following correct patient preparation and procedure
protocols.
• Identify and display appropriate normal anatomy and orientation
in the ultrasound field of view.
• Use an endovaginal transducer to perform the procedure.
• Demonstrate a working knowledge of the importance of
quality assurance in ultrasound as described in AIUM
guidelines.
• Understand variations in scanning protocols for demonstration
in gynecological examinations.
• Demonstrate techniques for transducer cleaning and
infection control.
• Be able to identify sources and research reference materials
for additional information on gynecological ultrasound.
• Use Doppler ultrasound as an adjunct imaging method
in a gynecological exam.
