round ligaments
-
structure that lies above the uterovarian ligament, round ligament, and tuboovarian vessels
fallopian tube
-

- estrogen - produced by the follicles
- progesterone - produced by the corpus luteum
-
supplies blood to the fallopian tubes
tubal branch of the uterine artery
-

-
what ligament supports the ovaries laterally
ovarian ligament
-
name and size of a mature follicle
-
phases of endometrium during menstrual cycle
- luteal - blood
- proliferative - 3 line phase
- endometrium - secretory
-
the retrouterine space is also known as
posterior cul-de-sac
-
proliferative phase
- days 1 to 14
- corresponds to the follicular phase
- menstruation occurs on days 1 to 4
- estrogen level increases
- estrogen causes uterine lining to regenerate and thicken
- ovulation occurs on day 14
-
secretory phase
- days 15 to 28
- corresponds to the luteal phase
- ruptured follicle becomes corpus luteum
- corpus luteum secretes progesterone
- endomentrium thickens
-
abnormally heavy menses
menorrhagia
-
inner lining of the uterine cavity that appears echogenic to hypoechoic on ultrasound, depending on the menstrual cycle
endometrium
-
pulsatility index PI
doppler measurement that uses peak systole minus peak diastole divided by the mean
-
doppler measurement that takes the highest systolic peak minus the highest diastolic peak divided by the highest systolic peak
mean doppler gradient
-
difference between peak systole and peak diastole
s/d ratio
-
small vessels found along the periphery of the uterus
arcuate vessels
-
technique that uses a catheter inserted into the endometrial cavity with the insertion of saline solution or contrast medium to fill the endometrial cavity for the purpose of demonstrating abnormalities withing the cavity or uterine tubes
usually performed between days 6 and 10
sonohysterography
-
horizontal plane through the longitudinal axis of the body to image structures from anterior to posterior
coronal
-

-
benign tumor composed of hair, muscle, teeth, and fat
dermoid tumor
-
cystic structure that lies adjacent to the ovary
paraovarian cyst
-
gynecologic tumors that arise from the surface epithelium and cover the ovary and the underlying stroma
surface epithelial stomal tumor
-
benign tumor of the ovary that contains thin walled multilocular cysts
mucinous cystadenoma
-
malignant tumor of the ovary with multilocular cysts
mucinous cystadenocarcinoma
-
middle layer of the uterine cavity that appears very homogeneous
myometrium
-
inner lining of the uterine cavity, which appears echogenic to hypoechoic
endometrium
