0:43
honored to welcome Dr. Alka Singh hall for a lecture
0:46
on transvaginal ultrasound evaluation of non-gravity cervix
0:49
and uterus.
0:50
Dr. Singhal is a radiology postgraduate. She
0:53
has over 28 years of global Radiology experience
0:56
and has worked and trained in Sydney Australia and in the
0:59
US she is currently associate director of radiology at
1:02
madanta hospital Deli India. She has
1:05
authored several chapters on thyroid and parathyroid and
1:08
leading textbooks of indoctrine surgery and is
1:11
the associate editor of the ijri Indian
1:14
Journal of radiology and imaging
1:17
at the end of the lecture, please join Dr. Singhal and otna
1:20
session where she will address any questions you may have on
1:23
today's topic, please use the Q&A feature to submit your
1:26
question at any time during the lecture with that
1:29
being said we are ready to begin today's lecture Dr. Singh
1:32
Hall. Please take it from here.
1:35
Okay, great. So, I'm visible. I'm audible in
1:38
my screen shares with both, too. Thank you.
1:41
Thank you so much for the warm introduction and invite
1:44
MRI online indeed. It
1:47
is really exciting to share my experiences with
1:50
all of you here and I'm really looking forward
1:53
to all your questions and make decision as in direct
1:56
as you would like. It could be thank you very much. So
1:59
I got a call for covering plants
2:02
the mainly the non gravit service
2:05
and the uterus. So let's see and the top
2:08
is that I gave her comprehensive along this stuff.
2:11
It's topics approach and methodology of PBS consultant
2:14
normally is in the
2:17
service the fibroids adenomyces and endometrial evaluation
2:20
cover them all.
2:23
Approach and patient preparation and positioning
2:26
transduced selection and be preparation and normal
2:29
in profound appearances. Now, we've all
2:32
grown up doing at radial ultrasound. Imaging we
2:35
know the basics. Of course, we are going to and do
2:39
the trans abdominal ultrasound before we
2:42
proceed to the plants vaginal ultrasound. We
2:45
want to create such beautiful images on
2:48
transmitter ultrasound, but how do these come
2:51
up?
2:52
It is a lot that's gone between them.
2:55
A patient preparation patient positioning equipment selection appropriate
2:58
transducer sanitization and
3:02
sterilization practices and for all these
3:05
we look forward to the AIU guidelines. That's
3:08
the
3:09
Which illustrates and the indications the
3:12
qualifications responsibility of the transcript of
3:15
personal so the most important factor
3:18
while we are doing the transfer Channel ultrasound is read the
3:21
history to the indications.
3:24
And the patient preparation it also
3:27
apart from the physical preparation. It
3:30
also involves counseling the
3:33
patient and explaining the procedure that what you're going
3:36
to do So the patient's not taking passive prize in
3:39
shock when you actually do the scam. So that is very
3:42
important. So that way you actually get supported the
3:45
patient in doing the scan so this and it
3:48
really makes us can so easy. There are many Maneuvers
3:51
which require your patients cooperation. We need
3:54
to Sliding test and various other Maneuvers so
3:57
that way making the patient comfortable is very important before
4:00
we proceed and of course documentation as
4:03
for the guidelines and Equipment settings,
4:06
avoiding artifacts and image optimization is
4:09
very important following the Elara principle.
4:13
Okay, the transit terminal y it's it's
4:16
a preferred modality in young children. And of
4:19
course people, you know
4:22
females however today we
4:25
are going to focus on mainly transfer Channel, which is
4:28
the investigation that we use for
4:31
most
4:33
females
4:34
now as you all know that the size of
4:37
the uterus goes on increase in the uterus in
4:40
the service ratio in preparator the
4:43
services prominent and bigger but as the
4:46
minaki said in the uterus
4:50
Corpus the body grows and release your
4:53
switches to twist to one for the uterus body
4:56
and serve it smaller again in postmenopausal Period
4:59
the uterus body strings and
5:02
their Vision again goes back. So that's important to remember
5:05
and if you feel any change in
5:08
the pattern or behavior over a period
5:11
of time, that's when you also suspect and diagnose
5:14
and normalities.
5:16
Now how does a typical normal uterus look for look
5:19
like we have to understand the normal before we actually
5:22
begin to diagnose the abnormal as we
5:25
insert the probe. We see a very nice beautifully looking
5:28
Salvage and endometrium lining we will
5:31
discuss that in detail and see what it looks
5:34
like.
5:37
Then what you have to remember your probe orientation the
5:40
right and the left that is a challenge for beginners.
5:43
So have a properly sterilized
5:46
and covered with a sheet and you have your latest sweet
5:49
gloves or whatever. You have taken the history of the patient. You've got
5:52
the patient and hypotany position. If a table has
5:55
got a little trending book kind of a tilt or anything, but
5:58
if you require for any questions like this those situations
6:01
are very helpful or you put a pillow
6:04
under the patients button. So that gives
6:07
a little bit of a tilt and elevation and gives you
6:10
better alignment to scan the uterus.
6:12
and the unitary region
6:14
so with all these practices and the guidelines
6:17
in mind and sterilization when you've got a probe
6:20
ready and appropriate equipment settings you insert the
6:23
flow or do you see you see the service the external
6:26
as these surveys and then the internal loss?
6:30
And then you see that you're trying body the endometrial lining.
6:34
Okay now here I want to stress because
6:37
examination I've been requested the
6:40
stress in the service. Now what happens is most of
6:43
the time we actually beginning to look at the
6:47
Upper part our eyes are looking at the
6:50
front desk first and we actually don't tend to
6:53
find blind spot this area or not.
6:56
Even look at this service area, right?
6:59
However, there is a great wealth of information here and
7:02
a lot of diagnostic abnormalities that
7:05
can be diagnosed and ultrasound. If you really pay attention to
7:08
this area as well when we are doing our TPS.
7:11
So like we learned in Radiology, we have
7:14
to look at an image from corner corner and we
7:17
must include anatomical organ that we
7:20
are Envision in total. That's very very important. So how
7:23
do we image service actually insert
7:26
the pro and you might have to actually pull the probe a
7:29
little bit out again so that we can actually see
7:32
the margin of the service and very
7:35
well see the interior of all the posterior wall and
7:38
see nice in the normal pattern. Now, if
7:41
you see the nice and the normal straight line
7:44
nice opposition of both the
7:47
lips of this nice echogenic and do cervical
7:50
mucosa and nice the seven.
7:54
A southern Zone that's
7:57
kind of reaffirms and research
8:00
that all is well, right. However, this
8:03
pattern is hardly seen most the females that we
8:06
see today have Napoleon says that's the only thing we kind
8:09
of think we can diagnose with this ultrasound in
8:12
this area. However, if we actually
8:15
pay attention, there's a lot more than we can.
8:18
Evaluate of course avoid pressure because it
8:21
will distort the image.
8:23
So that's about the normal appearances and we always have
8:26
to scan in both two orthogonal
8:29
planes at least and go in
8:32
the oblique planes as in when required for
8:35
the relevant pathology.
8:38
okay measurements, of course, we know the
8:41
orthogonal planes and the guidelines
8:44
have been issued by this yoga and various and body
8:48
so we know that we can do
8:51
a straight line measurement or a
8:54
appropriately adjusted measurement as well.
8:57
Now various terminologies have come there
9:00
is a new circumstances. There's free code
9:03
there is Cohen this Palm there is a idea
9:06
there is aita there
9:09
is foreheads. Now, there's a lot going on now for
9:12
a beginner. It gets very challenging to
9:15
figure out as to what to do. However, aim
9:18
of all these various and
9:21
consensus is to standardize and
9:24
merge the different reporting patterns into
9:27
one. So I'm going to try and
9:30
keep to the means of protocol and the terminology so
9:33
that we are all on the same page and of
9:36
course following the figure for classification for the
9:39
fibroid mapping as well.
9:41
The mucopan consensus has got various terminologies
9:44
and lexicon that have been described. These
9:47
should be adopted for reporting practices and
9:50
keeps us like Pirates by
9:53
Reds Pirates all these practices. So it just
9:56
keeps us all in the same page.
9:59
So like I said intermittent thickness, where do we measure we
10:02
measure it the widest part? So that's the widest part
10:05
the intermittent thickness and that we are going to mention not here not
10:08
here not anyway else. That's how we
10:11
will measure that's a transverse pain, which is the pain of
10:14
the widest time either that we is going to measure and document
10:17
as well.
10:19
Now we also have
10:22
to make an observation of the Interior
10:25
part of the uterus and the posterior
10:28
part of the uterus.
10:30
Do not think that this is a power area and ultrasound
10:33
cannot see this if I take a
10:36
class on E deep intimate deep
10:39
pelvic endometriosis, you will know if we
10:42
try and pay attention to this area. There is
10:45
a lot that you can diagnose an ultrasound. It's
10:47
inflammation extension of endometriosis
10:50
into the posterior and into the
10:53
interior pondices both can be diagnosed by
10:56
ultrasound. So always pay attention to the area beyond
10:59
the uterus. Look at the margin the
11:02
line. Is it smooth or is it there is any
11:05
irregularity or anything that can be the earliest
11:08
feature that can give your clue to what could
11:11
be the cause of the non-specific pain that the
11:14
patients changing and ecologists and trying
11:17
to figure out what's bothering. Okay. So do
11:20
evaluate not just let's understand alignments
11:23
the words that we use very commonly incubated
11:26
straight through what you didn't replace so
11:31
the commonly the interface
11:34
uterus and tiruplets futurist.
11:37
So basically you got when
11:40
you've got the normal orientation that is you've got
11:43
the orientation map your thumb interiorly on
11:46
the group and
11:47
So did it's a necklace to the left and the right
11:50
is to the right patient right now the service
11:53
and the uterine body if they added an
11:56
angle to one another and if that angle is obtuse.
11:59
This angle that is an in-key of
12:02
its uterus.
12:03
Between the angle between the lower you're trying and this now
12:06
what's important in this position is the
12:09
funders is close to the urinary bladder here
12:12
and the service here is closer to the
12:15
richesticide region, okay.
12:17
Let's look at another single where we
12:20
have a we have a very true it's
12:23
uterus. So what is happening here? We again
12:26
we have the service closer to
12:29
the bladder and we have the fontest.
12:34
interiorly and the electricid mode is of course
12:37
posteriorly is to the
12:39
service
12:41
So in this case again the angle.
12:44
Between the service and
12:47
the body is a reflex angle more than 180 degrees.
12:50
So this angle is
12:52
over 180 degrees
12:54
coming to the next video when we do
12:57
not have an angle between the service and you're
13:00
trying body. So that's like as if you could put them
13:03
both in a street line. And in this case
13:06
when you can have it any word it when you
13:09
have a straight line and the fundus is
13:13
closer to the urinary bladder and the little
13:16
sigmoid is of course behind.
13:18
Or you could have a retro. Let's do
13:21
you test when you have
13:23
so it's closer to the bladder and the fundus away
13:26
from the bladder.
13:28
Understanding these four scenarios helps you in correcting your
13:31
reporting documentation, which is
13:34
very important another three layers of the myometrium. So
13:37
we know we've seen the vehicle which
13:40
suppose you have an equagenic line in the endometrium. Then
13:43
you have the endometrium. This is an equation and then
13:46
you have the first layer which is the inner thin
13:49
Highway going that just about the endometrium and
13:52
you have the middle layer that is thick and homogenous and
13:55
that's the one and then you have an outer
13:58
layer which is like yes, because Janet in the middle
14:01
lay and arcade versus separate middle
14:04
and out the lights and that's
14:07
where you see the awkward calcifications in the postmenopausal
14:10
Premier commonly normally see
14:13
Another area to observe is the junctional Zone.
14:16
We have very high end ultrasound equipment
14:20
these days and even on 2D you
14:23
can observe but of course 3D is very gives great
14:26
classic with volume contrast or PCI and
14:29
all these modes you can actually see
14:32
the dimensional Zone and it's like a very
14:35
close to MRI the images the quality that you can
14:38
create just with ultrasound. So observe this
14:41
for interruptions or irregularity or any
14:44
other feature because these are very important.
14:47
In diagnosing abnormalities and as
14:50
better user protocol as well. So that's
14:53
what Musa says if the Dig said the
14:56
junctional zone is irregular interrupted and focally
14:59
or diffusely all those findings be document
15:02
and that's the acromatic representation of
15:05
the same feature. Okay. All right.
15:09
So moving on.
15:11
What about the menstrual cycle correlation and understanding
15:14
of the endometri lining
15:17
the menstrual cycle is very important. So let's
15:20
begin from the T1 of menstrual period
15:23
or just immediately one or two days after this. The
15:26
intimate training has just been shared. So
15:29
it's a pain echogenic endometrium, which is about maybe three
15:32
four millimeters or something like that. And
15:35
then as the stimulation goes,
15:38
oh as the cycle progresses towards
15:41
the ovulation the endometri lining pigments
15:44
and it becomes trial Amina and this is
15:47
on the ovulation praise. You will see
15:50
a nice trial and endometrium. You can see Sutton hypo
15:53
hyper egoic areas,
15:56
which are normal findings.
15:58
And of course for if you are doing follicular monitoring or
16:01
any other study, you will be assessing the vascularity as
16:04
well. And even otherwise colors are
16:07
being part of gyne examination and must be used
16:10
in every area of the pelvic scan.
16:13
for every patient
16:16
coming to the late phase the post ovulatory phase
16:19
the endometrium lining becomes homogenously Highbury
16:22
boy and with the
16:25
loss of trial laminar appearance.
16:27
So British knowledge, we finished the
16:30
first part the normal findings and now
16:33
we move on to the part two, which is the Continental anomalies
16:36
that we can diagnose on transfer channels.
16:40
now
16:41
maybe earlier a few years ago. We would have an
16:44
MRI to diagnose these but now with the
16:47
high-end equipment and very freely available
16:50
3D ultrasound modalities. We
16:53
can diagnose all of them with the
16:56
3D ultrasound technique.
16:58
So of course 3D is very helpful in.
17:01
Assessing and labeling them.
17:04
When does the patient come to us? The patients
17:07
come to us with primary infertility or
17:10
yeah of an incidental diagnosis. Of
17:13
course, the common abnormalities that we keep on
17:16
seeing is the bike on weight the commonest and
17:19
then of course 78 and died Elvis and all these abnormalities that
17:22
we see but let's understanding people as
17:25
to what do we mean by them?
17:27
Across a knowledge of embryology origin
17:30
and the way the
17:33
malarian track embryology goes
17:36
is very helpful to understand the
17:39
future normalities and let's look
17:42
at the classification. The class one
17:45
is eight Genesis of hyperplasia where
17:48
this segmental or complete the
17:51
uterus itself is absent. So basically what happens
17:54
we know there's a fusion so we can have a septum partial
17:57
acceptance It's all the side support the
18:00
corner to infuse or you can have a single Corner which
18:03
is not communicating.
18:05
Accordingly can have class 1 which is a Genesis
18:08
or hypoglassia Class 2, which is a unicorn weight
18:11
uterus, but without a rudimentary
18:14
horn and last three the diet else is uterus
18:17
also called the uterusal because of the
18:20
double interest a class for the pipeline materials complete
18:23
a passion the uterus with two horns
18:26
plus I is accepted uterus complete a
18:29
partial and plus it's the archery
18:32
uterus and it is a concave impeller in the
18:35
you try and find us we've been together. Yes. Next last
18:38
one is due to still be strong. You have a t-shaped
18:42
That let's understand them Percy aim
18:45
guidelines. Let's understand the abnormalities.
18:50
So we we are basically doing a 3D sweep
18:53
and we are getting a meat coronal limit and that
18:56
one image is really really helpful in gathering the
18:59
diagnosis. So we are looking the mid coronal
19:02
images of the uterus of teen period to some volumes in
19:05
the eater. So what happens is we get
19:08
a clear depiction of the circles and the
19:11
endometrial Funtime and the lower uterine segments
19:14
and these three areas that you will focus your
19:17
attention on will help you elucidate and
19:21
be various abnormalities.
19:24
Now let's understand. What do we mean by 0 self?
19:27
Understood? What do we mean by endometrial Founders and
19:30
the angles?
19:32
So observe the solution funders, which
19:35
is the Contour of the urine of the
19:38
uterus, right the cirrhosal surface of the
19:41
uterus, right endometrial fundus is this
19:44
is the endometrial fundus. This is the endometrial
19:47
lining at the top and the location of the
19:50
two tube will ostia we observe these two ostia and
19:53
if he's draw a line drawing joining the
19:56
two and if we draw a line
19:59
from the center point
20:01
Connecting to the endometrial funders and
20:04
this distance called a is called
20:07
indentation of the intermittent this
20:10
distance and this is measured
20:13
as a distance from a line connecting the two tube
20:16
will ostea.
20:18
to the mid endometrial fundus
20:21
okay, so observe this area observe the
20:25
cereal Contour observe the endometrial control
20:28
and
20:30
This area will give you diagnosis. And of course
20:33
you will be observed in the cavity for how how far the
20:36
split is going on. Right? So
20:39
let's look at that. So what does a normal
20:42
ultrasound look like? We all know that this is a very
20:45
nice globular shape uterus that we can see. This is
20:48
the normal. This is the cirrusion fundus. This is
20:51
the endometrial fundus. These are the statial part
20:54
of the Fallopian tubes and these other
20:57
These are the two or
21:00
Austria, right?
21:02
Okay, right. Now let's look at that when the
21:05
normal the uterine morphology. What is the endometrial fundus
21:08
looks like it's normally it's straight
21:11
or conveys. It's either straight
21:14
or conveys here. It's marginally convert. It's
21:17
or it's straight. That's normal. What is
21:20
a serial fundus look like in a normal cereal fantas is
21:23
normally convicts with less than
21:26
10 millimeter in damage.
21:28
The fitness normal picture in mind let's look
21:31
at the abnormal situations now in
21:34
the abnormal situations first and almost Vietnam
21:37
and aqued uterus now in
21:40
an art way to dress what happens to the
21:43
fundal indentation the funding the
21:46
endometrial fundal indication, so it
21:49
is concave.
21:51
Visibus this was straight or conveyed
21:54
here. We have the fundal indentation endometrial indentation
21:57
is concave with the central point of the
22:00
indentation. He said use Angle now,
22:03
how do we meet angles if this is the ostead I
22:06
draw upon line here. This is the Osteo and I draw a line
22:09
here that angle appears to me to be more than
22:12
90 degrees.
22:13
So this is an obtuse angle and
22:16
indentation is less than 10 millimeter.
22:19
That means it's not going to deep into the
22:22
Endometrial cavity it is less than 10 millimeters.
22:25
If I draw a line from here to here, that's the
22:28
a line, right?
22:33
Now what about the social funders in this case? The social fundus is
22:36
all right normal, uniformly conflicts or with
22:39
an invitation of less than 10 millimeters right now moving
22:42
on. Let's look at a case.
22:45
So here we've taken as 3D sweep. So that's so sad
22:48
transfers. That's a coronary reconstruction. And
22:51
we see this beautifully we see that
22:54
you ostia we try and make a line like this a
22:57
line like this and we obviously see that the
23:00
angle is more than 90 degrees, right? And then
23:03
we see the a line is less
23:06
than 10 millimeters. That's a typical uterus come
23:09
into the midst of normality the septic.
23:13
Now what happens in a set we are doing the subset did
23:16
uterus right now?
23:17
So what happens in this is the play there's
23:20
a presence of a septum which does not extend entirely up
23:23
to the service and the central point of the septim is
23:26
at a huge angle. So this line that's
23:29
drawing. The two is an acute angles obviously less than
23:32
90 degrees and the indentation this indentation
23:35
this distance that we are trying to measure is more than
23:38
10 millimeters. And of course the social
23:41
pandas is normal our normal uniformly
23:44
convex within a nutrition of this then can we
23:47
just
23:48
I mean your case. So again, we have a
23:51
tick and a sweep and that's a case which is showing that angle
23:54
is an acute angle and this distance
23:57
is more than 10 million.
23:59
Right and the pseudosal surface is all right
24:02
normal.
24:03
Moving on to the next the another case
24:06
of subcepted uterus again. We have a acute angle
24:09
and we have this lesson 10 millimeter
24:12
as a distance here and at the case, okay coming
24:15
to the next substitute uterus. What
24:18
happens here is there's a September completely divides
24:21
the cavity from the one this up to the
24:24
service. So of course the results is,
24:27
okay and normal, so we clearly see that there
24:30
is a
24:31
to separate
24:33
it's extending up to the surface rights update
24:36
uterus coming to the next step icon review.
24:39
This is interesting. You notice now here
24:42
the serosal service at the observe this indentation
24:45
here. So there are two well deformed
24:48
forms, you're trying on and be communicate in
24:51
this survival region and if there
24:54
is a fundal indentation, which is more than 10 millimeters
24:57
and it is dividing the two
25:00
pawns. This is very classic of pi-corn mature
25:03
example here we can faintly appreciate
25:06
is a fundal indentation. So we've labeled
25:09
as a spike on which you press in this case or it
25:12
could be subject as well.
25:15
And of course, how do you suspect on trans abdominal ultrasound
25:18
when you see this is
25:21
incidentally with a pregnancy a gsac here,
25:24
but if you see two ecogenic of endometri lining
25:27
separated by a highway Point myometrium, and
25:30
that's when you begin to suspect and of course, however 3D
25:33
is a routine and that's when you have must always the
25:36
sweet.
25:37
Come into titles. This is too
25:40
well defined Cornwall that the wide apart
25:43
and do not communicate. And of course
25:46
there is a fundal indentation more than 10mm divisions
25:49
to Corner.
25:51
That's a case of futurist title who's
25:54
just going all the way.
25:58
Up unicorn which uterus so basically there's a
26:01
unicorn weight without a rudimentary on that's what
26:04
you see this and make sure fundus so they're too well
26:07
defined design. So the instead
26:10
of two, we just have one corner and that's what
26:13
you see and if the other one is there, it's separate.
26:16
It's not communicating then of
26:19
course Wonderland condition is more than 10mm and separating the
26:24
It's just a case taken a sweep. And that's the
26:27
Unicorn which uterus very classically. You can
26:30
see that another case of a classic unicorn.
26:34
right
26:36
this is a teacherbutrons just
26:40
Right coming to the service like
26:43
we discussed so we are going to be well, we utiline
26:46
Services very important area to begin
26:49
up. So evaluate before observing the upper part before you
26:52
move there you please concentrate on this area.
26:55
What all can you find diagnose and ultrasound chronic
26:58
cell cycles so I can call it so I can
27:01
fibroid low length iuc c a
27:04
service. So I collect job it gestation and DD with
27:07
opportunity progress. There's a lot
27:10
you can see.
27:11
We begin to observe. So we are concentrating on
27:14
this area between the external laws and the internal laws.
27:17
And of course, we're going to look at the area around as
27:20
well and area outside our area
27:23
outside as well.
27:26
So what do we see? So we have to like we
27:29
discussed in the technique we have to use the full pullback technique
27:32
to we view it
27:35
carefully. And of course, we always observe the
27:38
adjacent areas as well. Like we discussed this
27:41
normal appearances take abnormalities can
27:44
be very subtle. So there's a case of a polyp
27:47
so which is very subtle almost isoy. So only
27:50
when we put color on we can demonstrate them
27:53
if there is if it's in the both insist, they
27:56
are often any boy can we can clearly see them and that's
27:59
that's why that's the commonest technology we diagnosed
28:02
but this is not ISO equal normalities. We
28:05
have to be alert in a way to diagnose that
28:08
so that's the same case when you put the color doctor
28:11
on it just give a flow and there was an endometrial polyp
28:14
in that case. So there was a
28:17
cycle polyp in that case. So that's an abnormality that you
28:20
can diagnose. What do we see commonly just a
28:23
case. So of course we see Michael
28:26
Nepot insist but like you say we do not get
28:29
lost in them. You can often see
28:32
other abnormalities which could be masses which
28:35
could be ca which could be fibroid observe those
28:38
with equals and check for vascularity. You
28:41
could be looking at lesions as well. So that is
28:44
very important to concentrate and evaluate any
28:47
abnormal areas.
28:49
Right and always suggest further Imaging if you need to you
28:52
could have a iecd trade that is lying
28:55
here Marina. That's the you could diagnose that
28:58
this also patient had you know my changes right,
29:01
of course chronic service ideas. Like
29:04
you saw the normal appearance. This is an old image.
29:07
So basically you can see hit Regina's appearances and
29:11
heterogeneous calcific areas or maybe
29:14
fluid or thickening of the mucosal surface
29:17
and all these suggests some kind of an inflammatory
29:20
pathology going on you could have
29:24
Heterogeneous irregularity and altered vascularity
29:27
and that's when you begin to suspect
29:30
that. I'll be looking at maybe see your service of course
29:33
pap. Smear is the first test but many times
29:36
the lesions are often so large and so obvious that
29:39
I mean people have not consulted
29:42
and not caught in the routine. Yes, so
29:47
We have to look at those as well.
29:50
So of course with the risk factors
29:53
and clinical symptomatology of CSL
29:56
bits, I'm going to skip the staging. Of
29:59
course we know.
30:00
We'll skip so let's look at the ultrasound appearance
30:03
is what do we see?
30:06
The UBC hypochoic heterogeneous Mass. Involving the
30:09
service we can see increase vascularity and
30:12
we can try and make up the size and document
30:15
any parametric Invasion. If you
30:18
are able to identify extension to vagina. It's just
30:21
an organs or into the bladder or
30:24
the procedure parameterial area.
30:28
so ultrasound is very helpful in evaluating the
30:31
extent and also we can look for eyelet lymph
30:34
nodes and
30:36
response to therapy as well. Okay. Now this
30:39
is the literature reference for
30:42
a
30:44
Hippopot, so let's look at
30:47
the legion. So now here we see the services bulky. We
30:50
have the compiling contour and it's got
30:53
a very heterogeneous. It's a it's a biopsy proven
30:56
case of see so it's we have got a heterogeneous hyperque
30:59
mass and which is quite distort in the
31:02
outline.
31:03
So it's again, we have a heterogeneous isolipoate partly
31:07
appreciated. But if you put colored up
31:10
with it is an abnormal focus of blood flow.
31:13
That's when you suspect abnormality. Of
31:16
course, you would suggest an MRI or further Imaging to
31:19
take it further again.
31:22
You may just miss this tumor area here,
31:25
but if you just see this probably it's extending
31:28
on the other side that just look like probably a lesion
31:31
there. So be observant and use color
31:34
doctor. It's a great tool and of course always you
31:37
when you have an image like this that means you have actually
31:40
scanned the whole service. But if I see the
31:43
image which is cut here then I do not know if the holes
31:46
of it has been scanned or not. You can see lesions
31:49
and again, which you have to I can
31:52
see large Legions look at the irregular margins
31:55
and solid Mass lesion there you
31:58
can see the lesions extending beyond
32:01
our generates and look at
32:04
both. Now. This is a transverse image see their margins
32:07
and parameterial invasion. You can also predict that
32:10
on ultrasound because if you don't see the nice and the round
32:13
Contour as we saw in the normal skin and the beginning
32:16
anything deviating from that normal
32:19
pattern would suggest that you're probably looking at
32:22
Some abnormality, right? So that's
32:25
the thing.
32:27
So moving on of course, you see
32:30
a heterogeneous kind of an area you kind
32:33
of maybe just now look at this as a postmenopausal uterusal
32:36
that you that's the you try in body
32:39
and look at the amount of enlargement of
32:42
the service interior almost kind of invading the urinary platter
32:45
as well. And it's great vascularity another
32:48
heterogeneous Mass station. So looking
32:51
and this is one which is involving proceededly,
32:54
so develop the practice of looking beyond the
32:57
uterus and you can pick up at normality straight
33:00
there.
33:01
Okay, so, of course, I'll Recreation we
33:04
look at the ovaries. Yes, but if you see any
33:07
solid hyper equality area between the valid vessels,
33:10
you may suspect I like lymph nodes and ultrasound
33:13
as well and that can be very helpful.
33:16
Again a case of a large mass region just the schematic
33:19
tracing for appreciation.
33:22
Large mass extending Beyond again. So there
33:25
are many areas way ultrasound can
33:28
be helpful in giving you an extension
33:31
of
33:34
Disease and diagnosis now literature also
33:37
says that he can actually measure a
33:40
lot and document as well. So what all can
33:43
you measure you can measure the maximum tumor Lane,
33:46
but it's maybe diameter medicine depth of invasion and
33:49
the tumor free margin interiorly posteriorly.
33:53
So what do we do? So this is the lesion for example, so
33:56
you can measure the maximum length. We can measure them.
33:59
It's more weight. You can measure the maximum depth
34:02
and you can measure the tumor three margins and
34:05
clearly and the tumor free margins the steer.
34:08
So with these documentation you can do that
34:11
all on ultrasound and of course correlate them
34:14
later with your Mr. As well. Right and these
34:17
can also be done in a transverse plane.
34:20
We can measure the transverse diameter and the margins free
34:23
on both. The sides are right
34:26
in the left margin for you as well.
34:29
These are additional information that you can actually get. What
34:32
else. Can you see in the service? Very commonly.
34:35
Yes, of course, you can see so I
34:38
could pregnancy even though it's for non gravity uterus, but
34:41
be alert it could be scar pregnancy often.
34:44
You see the lscess card there
34:47
and you can see pregnancy trapped in the sky area
34:50
or scar endometriosis in
34:53
that area. So see a g sack in the lower
34:56
you're trying segment, of course an empty uterus and balloons Michael
34:59
Canal or an hour plus so it's and
35:02
close internal loss. And of course
35:05
which may give you flow on color Doppler. That's when you suspect
35:08
this you could be looking at so I
35:12
collect topic and that's another case of I
35:15
get a topic and you
35:18
To the platforms you can have hit true topic where
35:21
you can have we can have co-existent.
35:25
Intra you try and a cervical topic.
35:30
Another case of a cervical ectopic pregnancy. So of
35:33
course you could have heterogeneous equals
35:36
the blood clots due to abortion
35:39
in progress and it's just have
35:42
plots and no and just like in sign will help
35:45
you in making a diagnosis. This is just heterogeneous
35:48
contains up abortion in progress
35:51
internal losses often open external cost may
35:54
be open or closed and the blood
35:56
Perhaps would be coming out. It's very
35:59
important to make an accurate diagnosis.
36:02
So that's the differentiation process coming to the
36:05
next topic that we are going to do is a fibroid
36:08
mapping.
36:10
so
36:12
it's fibroids are so common. Right and
36:15
we have to about their
36:19
present in about 50 to 70% because of
36:22
normal symptoms and they can cause
36:25
obstetric complications. They can cause postmenopause reading
36:28
and infertility really medically.
36:31
Now, let's look at them from a clinical perspective. So
36:34
they may be asymptomatic and maturity 50% and
36:37
of course from the
36:40
treatment point of view because we have medical minimal.
36:43
It says techniques and surgical treatment. So what information
36:46
is required by the previous position, which
36:49
will help them make a decision as to how to manage that
36:52
fibroid with that point of view look
36:55
at our community. So location of
36:58
the fibroid whether it's intramurals or
37:01
mucosal or outside.
37:03
the number the size the morphology is
37:06
impact the decision making process
37:09
in the management and of course clinically the severity
37:12
of symptoms the age and the choice of future fertility is
37:15
also considered
37:18
how to evaluate of course always always
37:21
the first trans abdominal scan must
37:24
be done then only you see with the TVs because
37:27
why because you can have larger regions Which
37:30
Way Beyond you can have fibroids reaching up to the umbrellas
37:33
and Way Beyond potentially fibroids and
37:36
other abnormalities that you will not be able to diagnose if
37:39
you just straight away just to a TVs and send the patient away.
37:43
Okay, and also always scan the kidneys when
37:46
you do with the survey scan, you can take a minute to look
37:49
at both the kidneys hydronephrosis or hydrogurator or
37:52
any other abnormality. You can diagnose right? Of course,
37:55
you'll use all the tools the 3D partopular and
37:58
line.
37:59
Infusion, which is probably not done
38:02
at our Institute these days and
38:05
Mr. Is a tool and
38:08
challenging cases.
38:10
So looking at all these features that we need to so
38:13
again, we're going back to the music consensus. So
38:17
to have a uniform reporting protocol. Typically,
38:20
how does a thyroid look like? Of course?
38:23
It's a solid oxygenic Mass arising from the uterine
38:26
endometrium. It's got a well-defined contour acetops
38:29
you and it's got a world appearance at his
38:32
classic and that doesn't differentiating and you
38:35
know Myoma and of
38:38
course, it causes significant annuation of them Pakistan being
38:41
and the shadowing pattern is Phoenician blind contrast
38:44
to anything, you know, my mom which is a fan
38:47
shape they're doing we will discuss this. And of
38:50
course it is got a mind to moderate past Clarity
38:53
on current Doppler which is usually peripheral or skirting
38:56
pattern in contrast to adenoma meter
38:59
which has inputational respiratory
39:02
as well.
39:04
okay, so they will Define solid happy
39:07
correct lesion and colored officials very that
39:10
we discussed and also assessment of
39:13
the color of the health in the treating physician
39:16
and planning the route for embolization if
39:19
Interventional Radiology is planned for
39:23
Now how could the fibroids be looking on ultrasound? They
39:26
could be uniform or non-uniform and in
39:29
uniformly Highway boy or non-uniformly
39:33
with mixed
39:36
teacher Jenny or ecochenic ideas or cystic
39:39
areas with it. Now, let's look at that. Of course.
39:42
They vascular pattern could be married as well you could have
39:45
and generally they are with a peripheral vessel.
39:49
Skirting pattern only now traditionally
39:52
we learned three words for
39:55
Five Points intramural sub-zerosol or
39:58
submucose, right? So where intramural significant
40:01
portion is in the mural area significant portion
40:04
is sub-zeroes that are significant ocean is some however,
40:07
the moment nature is now
40:10
being adopted is the Figo classification. So sofiko
40:13
1 2 3. These are
40:16
the most symptomatic fibroids one is intracary two
40:19
is a submucosal with
40:22
more than 50% of Ozil company 3 is
40:25
sub people with less than 50% of me
40:28
personally and four is purely intraven not impacting
40:31
the endometrium not working from Mr. Rosa
40:34
five is a Sub-Zero so fibroids it's
40:37
a bit unclean and seven is for us, right. So
40:40
remembering these let's look at how to
40:43
diagnose fibroids cause spectaculated fibroid.
40:46
You can show the best Solarity and
40:49
if
40:49
Want you may assume that they may be.
40:51
Brought like I'm at five let's look at this. So we have
40:54
an ecogenic endometri lining all around and we
40:57
have a high pay equation. So this probably is
41:00
a hyper egoic intraicavatory fibroid just
41:03
surrounded by the intermittent lining. So it's a
41:06
figure one five point. Okay, that's the
41:09
3D of another case of ego one
41:12
fibroids. It's nicely well really needed
41:15
endometrial lining all around and we
41:18
see the fibroid inside. That's a big
41:21
two or one fibroid
41:24
again there again, we go
41:27
in intracavitry almost into cavity
41:30
fibroid or something because fibroid
41:33
And then we have this fibroid. This fibroid is
41:36
probably a figure.
41:39
If you go three, it's just got a intramural with
41:42
the suddenly proposal but less than 50% endometrial
41:45
component because it's kind of
41:48
easy. It's not your whole and then you have
41:51
internal fibroids which are
41:55
Intermittal fibroids, so which are
41:58
here which are which are impact
42:01
in the intimate lining. So with with
42:04
more than 50% impacting so of
42:07
course, these are FICO type two three fibroids here.
42:11
Okay. So this is clearly a sub zerosal
42:14
fibroid that goes to figure
42:16
Five fibroid well defined
42:19
seated ball and again looking at the
42:22
3D. So again, we have these the fibroids there
42:26
which are impacting the endometrium fibroid, which
42:29
is probably not impact in endometrium. That's
42:32
a lower you try and segment you've got a iecd there
42:35
and that's the nscs card and it's also had some time
42:38
points. So that's another
42:41
in the lower uterine body. There is a cervica region.
42:44
There is a hypoid fibroid. We
42:47
could probably demonstrate a little bit of vascularity. So
42:50
then in that case it's a bit angulated fibroid.
42:54
Okay.
42:56
And it kind of had like a capsule as
42:59
well around it feel that.
43:01
It's what its own capsule kind as well. Okay?
43:04
All right, so
43:07
coming to the next so
43:10
you have the venetian blind shadowing pattern for
43:13
a fibroid. We observe that and how do
43:16
we differentiate these from?
43:20
Endometrial polyps of course are
43:23
hyperic high will show vascularity and typical
43:26
is the polar feeding
43:29
vessel a single vessel sign when you see
43:32
that it's quite suggestible.
43:34
Call it, right so sub mucus
43:37
fibroid is generally hypoicoic and
43:40
it's got a rim pass Clarity polyps generally hyperidicoic and
43:43
as you'll see the single vessel sign.
43:46
So hypericoid and you see the single vessel sign.
43:50
Another sign to observe which is called an equal
43:53
sign which is seen a submuclear Myoma.
43:56
So what happens it is it is growing
43:59
out of the myometrium into the endometrium that
44:02
actually lifts the endometrial lining so
44:05
the endometrial lining up one side and the other
44:08
side in a proximation as people any
44:11
two equationic lines, they make up the equal side that scene
44:14
submucous fibroids.
44:18
So you do aneurysms you can see in commonly imposed
44:21
to mtps or poster
44:24
portions. You see an ill-defined hypochoic
44:27
area. You could think it's a fibroid but you put the
44:30
color. It's a bedroom vascularity. It's an AVM
44:33
there.
44:34
Okay now.
44:37
Epic now what changes can fibroids undergo fibroid
44:40
skin intercoursistic changes calcifications or
44:43
five fatty change
44:46
and let's look at that. So you have a fibroid with
44:49
a sister change, which is called Central cystic area.
44:52
All you could have an hyper equify right?
44:55
That is a like. Oh Leo Myoma, which
44:58
is a well defined hyperequisition that
45:01
you're able to see here.
45:03
Okay, and of course, it's kind of
45:06
an intramural lesion. It's probably some impacting
45:10
the intermetry lining. So
45:13
it's a Figo three kind of fibroid. And
45:16
of course when you see abundant vascularity, very
45:19
heterogeneous vascularity in a fibroid, maybe thinking
45:22
of lines are Leo myosarcoma, and
45:25
that's when you have to really look at that as well
45:28
and such as send the patient for an
45:31
MRI specially when it's large mass and heterogeneous vascularity.
45:34
That's a terribleated differentiation
45:37
between the
45:40
two common entities where
45:43
we often have to use all our various
45:46
parameters to give it diagnosis. And without
45:49
moving to that detail. I'll move
45:52
on to the next topic. That's Idina miles's so of
45:55
course like we discussed it's got the internal and
45:58
vascularity as well.
46:00
No, that's the case adenomyosis. We've
46:03
got some vascularity internally and heterogeneous appearance.
46:06
And of course we have to that's a
46:09
DD of fibroid with an rpoc of
46:12
course rpoc is heterogeneous with many clots.
46:15
And so it's actually a straightforward diagnosis.
46:18
It's not much dilemma DDR POC
46:21
with a polyp policies. Well defined hypery kind
46:24
of Fuller feeding vessels single vessel and
46:27
rpoc will have some kind of a heterogeneous class
46:30
Clarity pattern. That's again, you'll see
46:33
on the 3D.
46:35
So again rpoc with an AVM
46:38
formation also, you can come across if you
46:41
when you put your color Doppler on you see abundant vascularity in
46:44
the rpoc and that's AV information
46:47
that you must remember that I
46:50
just put a spotter for the fibroid that we've already discussed.
46:53
So I will move on to the next
46:56
what how do we treat fibroids? Of
46:59
course, the first place becomes like
47:02
If you go type 1 0 1 2
47:05
and 3 usually hysteroscopic resection and three four,
47:08
five six treatment depends upon the
47:11
clinical scenario right coming to
47:14
the next video meiosis. Of course,
47:17
we have to recognize it because it
47:20
is often a misdiagnosis
47:23
and the
47:26
patients got married ultrasound
47:29
reports and it's got very symptomatology.
47:33
It can be focal. It can be diffused and
47:36
it can be simple feature or tea and it could
47:39
spread to ovaries. It could stretch to
47:42
the pelvis and anywhere Beyond so right now what is
47:46
it? Basically it's ectopic endometrial tissue, which
47:49
is beyond the
47:51
And endometrium and so it's
47:54
imaginated but at least 2.5 remember
47:57
the basilarity.
48:00
So you have clinical symptomatology of pain
48:03
abnormal bleeding and you to of course.
48:07
TBS is
48:09
an immortality which has great diagnostic
48:12
yield for retinomyosis provided. It's
48:15
done properly. It can evaluate both in the
48:18
uterus in the ovaries. And in the
48:21
pelvis we can do it. There are different modes and techniques available.
48:24
So basically what are the features the features
48:27
are abnormal enactment probability any
48:30
quick spaces in my mission, asymmetric and
48:33
helium procedure. You try and working what's up into
48:36
material ecogenic striations heterogeneous, equitage
48:39
cure endometri water
48:42
thickening of the transitions.
48:44
So you have direct features and indirect features
48:47
a direct features are persists the
48:50
hypericogenic islands and the ecogen is
48:53
sub endometrial lines in the past and the indirect features
48:56
of asymmetrical thickening the globular uterus and The
48:59
Irregular Junction at all observing these C. We
49:02
have ill defined Elemental Linings says
49:05
and equagenic lines globular shape,
49:08
uterus and asymmetric and keynote.
49:11
And this is like a typical denomyosis. We
49:14
can't even appreciate when this
49:17
endometrial lining.
49:19
So these Indians indistinct creatures
49:22
again, that's another case. We can
49:25
clearly see the cystic space is any quite spaces
49:28
and the typical fan shaped shadowing
49:31
that is the in the
49:35
that we see is the CIS and typical appearance of
49:38
the adenomaesis.
49:40
So all the features are well Illustrated
49:43
in this clip here. Thank you.
49:47
So moving on the vascularity pattern you
49:50
can see vascularity intraditional vascularity
49:53
in the adenoviruses.
49:56
So differentiating features, we've already
49:59
covered. It's Destiny's metric neutrals.
50:03
Now another differential, of course.
50:06
We have in cystic endometrial hyperplasia
50:09
the sister located in the endometrium itself,
50:13
but in case of adenomyosis, they are
50:16
outside the endometrium. They are located in the biometric. So
50:19
we have to remember that as a differential to diagnose that
50:22
abnormality.
50:24
Role of elastography, of course because Neo pymas
50:27
are a little firmer and adenomy has
50:30
spokenamis is a softer lesion. So that's
50:33
another tool that we can talk to support in
50:36
our Imaging right? Of course Associated
50:39
findings in pelvis and ovaries always
50:42
look for that's a total new topic that
50:45
we are not going to touch now, you can
50:48
have various editions and hydros helpings
50:51
and of course you can have various other abnormalities
50:54
to support your diagnosis. It's a patient with
50:57
adenomyosis and iucine inserted
51:00
already there.
51:02
Okay, so
51:05
coming to the next of course, you can see additions which
51:08
can be demonstrated. Well on a 3D ultrasound that
51:11
you can diagnose.
51:14
Coming to the next the endometrium abnormalities. So
51:17
one correlation with menstrual cycle
51:20
is a great big topic and you follicular monitoring
51:23
and the common abnormalities. We will look at so
51:26
again, there is ayata guidelines
51:29
that describe how we need to scan the
51:32
interim and how we need to report their normalities. So
51:35
using their lexicon we go ahead with
51:38
that. How do they say you have to actually have a
51:41
like we have guidelines for NT we have guidelines with
51:44
this we have to have our transducer perpendicular when
51:47
you're trying to measure into thickness and we
51:50
measure the widest part and of course it is
51:53
and throw it in between their separated by fluid. Then
51:56
we minus the fluid and
51:59
take the composite endometrial.
52:01
And we measure both separately. Right? And
52:04
if you can't appreciate you can just say endometri
52:07
lining cannot be appreciated. That is also an
52:10
acceptable answer.
52:12
Right. So we have different kind of layerings of
52:15
endometrial lining and of course the communistic normality
52:18
that we diagnose is an individual quality. We
52:21
can suspect on Transit terminal to sound and then
52:24
of course we can soon images to see them we
52:27
can do translate China to sound and that needs it
52:30
very clear. We can document the pascularity 3D gives
52:33
great images for counseling the patient the
52:36
gynecologist can also tell the patient counsel and
52:39
take the patient up for treatment and
52:42
it's very nice we demonstrated so
52:45
no, it's just not so much required these
52:48
days because we can actually give great images just by
52:52
3D ultrasound itself plastic polyps that
52:55
you can document on 3D ultrasound
53:00
Focal and diffuse intermittent hyperplasia. We need
53:03
to be alert, and we need to be able to
53:06
Think when do we raise an alarm to look
53:09
for endometrial carcinoma? We are
53:12
looking at Absolute measurements volumes can be done theoretically
53:15
but we still look at the thickness. So
53:18
we have cystic endometrial hypoglass. Yeah,
53:21
maybe see cystic changes in endometrium and thicken endometrium,
53:24
but when we see a
53:27
lot of rascularity and Invasion into the Miami trim,
53:30
we really suspects Sinister stupid pathology.
53:33
We could see a large mass which is almost
53:36
infiltrating here. We have a huge mass
53:39
that is invading almost all the cirrusa
53:42
we can have olive oil Mass with fluid observe
53:45
the pascularity pattern whether it's
53:48
a single or multifocal or a new vascularization pattern.
53:51
We have great HD power tools and
53:54
we can understand the vascularity even
53:57
Genesis pattern and that can help
54:00
us predict whether we are looking for a million reason or
54:03
penaltation and of course
54:06
Can measure the tumor size and the tumor
54:09
free margins up to the silosa as
54:12
well and document that final of course would
54:15
be an MRI can see multiple polypoided lesions
54:18
really look in Sinister Maybe.
54:21
And you can see large mass. This one was the case
54:24
of a sarcoma. So I think almost to
54:27
the end of the session. I covered
54:30
up all the six topics. Of course, there's
54:33
another big topic of the ovaries of Fallopian tubes and
54:36
this the Deep pelvic endometriosis and
54:39
extension and there's a lot of lot of
54:42
Top is to be covered in transvaginal ultrasound
54:45
of uterus and service. However TVs is
54:48
an indispensable examination a methodical
54:51
and a systematic approach with the patient
54:54
comfort in mind and understanding patients clinical
54:57
history and scenario is very important to make
55:00
a good accurate diagnosis. Thank you very much for
55:03
your listening, and I'm happy to take the
55:06
questions. If any thank you so much you inspired me today.
55:09
Thank you.
55:12
So if you want to access that Q&A portion you do have a few questions.
55:17
So the first question is in what situations does
55:20
3D ultrasound not serve as an alternative to MRI.
55:24
There are areas. Of course.
55:28
There are areas where you have
55:31
a lot of adhesions and you have a lot of pelvic endometriosis
55:34
that you're suspecting. I
55:37
mean this question is huge this question.
55:40
There are lots of applications where 3D ultrasound will not
55:43
be able to sell because 3D ultrasound would be limited uterus right
55:46
that area only if that's what they can try to
55:49
anomalies then of course if you want to see the vascularity and
55:52
it's like it's stink and the
55:55
I measurements. Then of course, you do need an MRI and if
55:58
it's for a denomiasis, of course extension Beyond
56:01
if it's a smelly density and extension Beyond cause we
56:04
need an MRI.
56:06
Thank you. So then it's this question is
56:09
good afternoon. Thanks for the beautiful lecture. I don't understand your
56:12
explanation on the angles that help Define in our great
56:15
uterus in the outbreak uterus. So
56:18
it's an obtuse angle between the two Austria
56:21
if these are the two Austria if I'm just joining line
56:24
up to the
56:27
endometrial tip.
56:30
So this angle is a obtuse angle.
56:33
So it's like because it's not going that deep. So
56:36
this line is short less than 10 millimeters. That's what's
56:39
an arcade uterus without going to the slide. I hope I try
56:42
to keep these are the two corners and
56:45
this is the tip of the endometrial surface and
56:48
that's the line that you're trying to measure the draw. Okay, so
56:51
I hope that's clear and
56:56
so, thank you and
56:59
That's done as a physician to you operate the ultrasonic
57:02
equipment personally, or do you employ sonographer physician assistant
57:05
as well? So that's at in
57:08
country India in the hospital.
57:11
So we as Radiologists we ourselves are
57:14
analytic equipment and we are doing that.
57:18
Okay, thank you. How do we diagnose service
57:21
scientists? It's serviceitis a person in itself.
57:24
The word is a clinical diagnosis. But however, like I
57:27
did have the peaches and the slides for the cases we can
57:30
have we in a normal
57:33
you will have well opposed smooth lining of the
57:36
mucosa, right, but if you see any fuzzy masking so
57:39
they may cause any cystic a spaces
57:42
or hypery areas or any abnormal vascular chair
57:45
over there any bulging of
57:48
the Contour or any enlargement or
57:51
asymmetry of lips of the service or Contour abnormality
57:54
of a Zee margins all those
57:57
and multiple nebulances some may
58:00
have equals. Those are the situations when you think you're probably
58:03
looking at service ideas.
58:06
Okay, thank you. So next. Can you
58:09
create cervical CA using ultrasound? Yeah, so based
58:12
on those guidelines. We are not going to create it
58:15
but we are going to say that it's the possibility of extension
58:18
Beyond you can give your scoring. But
58:21
of course you will need to go for
58:24
a further Imaging if you think the disease is
58:27
beyond the bonuses standing
58:30
into the furnaces in the parametrician, but yes, you
58:33
can you can give it you can give an estimate whether
58:36
it's confined to this or extending into
58:39
the
58:40
Uterus or extending into the
58:43
vagina or going Beyond into the bladder or the
58:46
uterus? Yes, you can but if there is any like a
58:49
micro Invasion or a which is
58:52
not obvious and ultrasound. Those are the areas
58:55
where further Imaging will give more clinical assessment
58:58
of more accurate,
59:01
but you can so that's what
59:04
train ourselves to look at this area.
59:07
We just straight away run to the funders the fibroids of
59:10
the polyps or anything. But before we actually going if you're
59:13
actually focusing that area, there's a lot of information that
59:16
we can get.
59:18
Okay, so we can create then
59:21
let's just can be diagnosed and title and always on
59:24
2D. Yes. Of course, you can suspect them
59:27
but diagnosis you will need a 3D
59:30
like for example, it's I'm doing a transverse sweep
59:33
and I see two echogenic endometrial lining. So
59:36
they're just coming in the funders and then I can try and get
59:39
an ideas and taking a transfer sweep as it there
59:42
to intermittent Linings that are there separated. Okay, so
59:45
I see bottom and the service I
59:48
see funny area and then I just go up and
59:51
I see two separate individual line. So that's what I'm beginning
59:54
to suspect. Of course. I will need for their Imaging and even
59:57
in longitudinous people. Okay and taking a
60:00
sweep. I saw the intermittently then
60:03
it disappeared and some high very quick area and then I
60:06
can't see any endometrium. So that means there's something
60:09
that is probably splitting the two the best when
60:12
we suspected and of course for that you do
60:15
need a 3D or MRI to diagnose but yes.
60:18
Can suspect it. But actually what
60:21
kind of an abnormality is you will need.
60:25
A further Imaging right?
60:27
So we are
60:30
here we've done KitchenAid longlist. And it's
60:33
this do you systematically perform a TVs use?
60:36
Of course? That's that's very important.
60:39
Thank you.
60:41
the elaborate and the hormonal replacement changes
60:46
On changes or charges could you elaborate
60:49
on the home and replacement changes? I mean we
60:52
are not doing the treatment part so I do not know what that
60:55
so
60:56
Are the changes I do mean the changes that
60:59
you see in Ultrasound with hrp. Is that
61:02
for the endometrium the cystic endometri the democrine
61:06
or a
61:09
I mean if that's what the endometrium the Democracy pantheistic endometrial
61:12
changes. Yeah, we do measure and
61:15
we monitor these patients periodically for the
61:18
thinking the endometrial thickness and appearance of
61:22
the cystic changes and suggest for
61:25
that Imaging and management appropriately as and
61:28
when required, okay, thanks. So
61:31
the needs to we have to use copious Daily
61:34
4 so I can see
61:36
I mean, we not for
61:39
cycle CA like you just have to insert the proof. So
61:42
you will need a comfortable reason monetary within
61:45
the probe and outside for every
61:48
examination.
61:50
So because the probe is actually just going up
61:53
to the vagina. So it's not got anything to
61:56
do with the vehicle CA and
61:59
having more children. I haven't I haven't changed my Pro
62:02
preparation based on what pathology I'm
62:05
expecting to look at. It's the standard and it's to be
62:08
it's to be prepared such that I don't
62:11
have any air bubble in it and it's prepared well, and
62:14
it's so of course, I have an assistant to
62:17
do all the do the patient preparation and problem
62:20
supporting the provincial and all this
62:23
stuff. So and of course there is no air bubble.
62:27
Yeah, so the comfort of the patient and reference
62:30
of the patient, that's the most important
62:33
part.
62:34
Thank you. So when you suspect unicorn weight and
62:37
routine scans again, like if you see the corner that's a
62:40
little bit pointed like on one side.
62:44
It's hard to suspect on routine scan. So it's
62:47
actually been an incidental diagnosis or on 3D
62:51
imaging but icon weeks
62:54
have suspected on today. But unique on it. I personally
62:57
don't remember but maybe if you see any centrically deviated
63:00
individual and you could probably suspected but
63:03
what happens is the whole thing is eccentrically created. So
63:06
right so I guess it's a I
63:09
haven't diagnosed it on
63:12
a two day to be honest.
63:14
So next. Hmm.
63:16
Could you elaborate on cervical incompetency? Okay,
63:19
that's a part of a gratitude resource. So
63:22
we have not covered it in this because I was
63:25
asked to do non gravity uterus. But yeah,
63:28
that's a huge big Topic in itself
63:31
and I could too full lecture
63:34
on that course.
63:36
Thank you. And can we go to TV a
63:39
in an area where we Channel examination often
63:42
refused because of culture?
63:47
Oh, you mean you do a transfer channel to sound
63:50
because you can do in its amination clinical examination, I
63:53
mean, it's like the same thing you're going to insert the probe or
63:56
the thing, I mean that's again a cultural answer
63:59
so patient reference. So any examination begins
64:02
with a patient consent, that's the first thing you
64:05
have to take and informed consent. So as
64:08
per the guidelines your law of land or whatever is
64:11
second International guidelines, so you can't proceed without
64:14
a consent. Okay. Thank you very much
64:17
