Ob/Gyn and Abdominal Sonography

University of California San Francisco
Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging
Course Director: Ruth B. Goldstein, MD

Ob/Gyn and Abdominal Sonography will provide updates for standard practices in abdominal, obstetrical, gynecologic, and vascular sonography.

Obstetrical topics include twin gestations; significance of borderline findings in obstetrical sonograms and emphasis on particularly difficult topics such as the fetal heart, cervix, intra-uterine growth restriction is addressed.

Gynecologic topics include some of the more common clinical topics such as imaging of patients with abnormal vaginal bleeding, pain and multimodality approach to uterine pathologies.

Adult abdomen topics include liver masses, new observations in gallbladder sonography and the best way to survey peritoneal spaces.

Vascular topics include suggestions for improving your Doppler examination from a technical perspective, improved interpretation of Carotid Doppler sonograms and a multimodality approach to renovascular imaging.

Learning Objectives


After viewing this activity, participants should be able to:
  • Better utilize sonography in evaluation of the placenta, umbilical cord, and fetal  growth restriction
  • More accurately assess the cervix in pregnancy, and understand how and when MRI may be useful in evaluation of abnormal uterine findings on sonograms
  • Improve interpretations of  the four chamber view and great artery images on an obstetrical sonogram, and interpret the common findings in abnormal carotid sonograms
  • Improve interpretations of borderline abnormalities which may or may not be clinically significant
  • Understand how advances in monochorionic twin diagnosis and treatment are changing our approach to monochorionic twinning
  • Gain a more focused approach to the non-pregnant woman with pelvic pain
  • Gain a rational approach to multi-modality imaging of liver abnormalities, and understand the issues of renovascular evaluation
  • Better understand the sonographic evaluation of the post-TIPS patient
