Ultrasound is preferred as the first imaging modality used when patient symptoms suggest uterine or other pelvic organ abnormalities. The GYN Ultrasound Malignant Adnexal Conditions Advanced Clinical Module overviews both pre- and postmenopausal adnexal anatomy and how to sonographically differentiate between likely benign, indeterminate, and likely malignant adnexal conditions. Lessons also cover comprehensive examination of borderline and likely malignant adnexal lesions with a review of ovarian cancer and current cancer screening methods. The real-patient scanning cases help develop the requisite hands-on psychomotor skills and cognitive task awareness required to perform both transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound evaluation of malignant adnexal conditions.
