(157 cards)
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
