Echogenicity (sometimes as echogenecity) or echogeneity is the ability to bounce an echo, e.g. return the signal in medical ultrasound examinations. In other words, echogenicity is higher when the surface bouncing the sound echo reflects increased sound waves.
Below are useful terms on ultrasound: [4] Echogenic – giving rise to reflections (echoes) of ultrasound waves; Hyperechoic – more echogenic (brighter) than normal; Hypoechoic – less echogenic (darker) than normal; Isoechoic – the same echogenicity as another tissue; Transvaginal ultrasonography – Ultrasound is performed through the vagina
The diagnosis is based on clinical presentation, quantitative HCG, ultrasound, and pathologic evaluation. A solid, heterogeneous, echogenic mass has a positive predictive value of 80%, but is present in only a minority of cases. A thickened endometrium of > 10 mm is usually considered abnormal, though no consensus exists on the appropriate cutoff.
Gynecologic ultrasonography or gynecologic sonography refers to the application of medical ultrasonography to the female pelvic organs (specifically the uterus, the ovaries, and the fallopian tubes) as well as the bladder, the adnexa, and the recto-uterine pouch. The procedure may lead to other medically relevant findings in the pelvis.This ...
Gestational sacs can be identified via ultrasound and are generally identified by the following four characteristics: The sac has a round or elliptical shape in longitudinal and transverse views; The sac is surrounded by a white echogenic rim (choriodecidual reaction) [6] The sac is located in the uterine fundus
Adnexal mass; Abdominal CT shows a 7.1 × 4.3 × 5.4 cm septal cystic, solid mass was detected on the left adnexal, and the solid components were enhanced. Specialty: Gynaecology: Symptoms: Pain of the pelvic / illiac regions especially if it involves the ovaries or fallopian tubes: Types: Benign or malignant; simple or complex
[46] [47] The diagnosis of CSP is made by ultrasound and four characteristics are noted: (1) Empty uterine cavity with bright hyperechoic endometrial stripe (2) Empty cervical canal (3) Intrauterine mass in the anterior part of the uterine isthmus, and (4) Absence of the anterior uterine muscle layer, and/or absence or thinning between the ...
An endometrial polyp or uterine polyp is a mass in the inner lining of the uterus. [1] They may have a large flat base or be attached to the uterus by an elongated pedicle (pedunculated). [2] [3] Pedunculated polyps are more common than sessile ones. [4] They range in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters. [3]
