Ultrasound is preferred as the first imaging modality used when patient symptoms suggest uterine or other pelvic organ abnormalities. The GYN Ultrasound Nonmalignant Adnexal Conditions Advanced Clinical Module teaches medical professionals how to use sonography to evaluate the adnexa, which includes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and supporting ligaments, in the adult female. The focus of the module is on nonmalignant adnexal conditions, which includes ovarian cysts, ovarian fibromas, polycystic ovaries, pedunculated leiomyomas, tubo-ovarian abscess, peritoneal inclusion cysts, and adnexal torsion. The real-patient scanning cases in this module include both transabdominal and transvaginal scanning approaches and cover simple ovarian cysts, multiple types of complex adnexal cysts (such as hemorrhagic cysts, endometriomas, and dermoid cysts), and hydrosalpinx.
