To assess the morphology of the suspensory ligament of the ovary on CT scan examination, an anatomic study of the suspensory ligament of the ovary was performed to demonstrate its morphology on CT and to facilitate the visualization of the ovaries. Twelve female cadavers were studied after ...
Although, ultrasonography (US) remains the foremost imaging modality for screening patients with adnexal lesions, computed tomography (CT) recently has proved to be of value in the characterisation and management of tumors of the ovary. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has also been shown to have ...
The risk of ovarian torsion increases with ovarian volume and requires a comprehensive scan with Doppler flow to confirm the diagnosis. However, it is important to remember that ovarian torsion may be present without a compromised blood flow in the early stages, due to the dual blood supply by...
Prior to surgery a chest radiograph should be taken to screen for a pleural effusion and a CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis should be performed to delineate the extent of intra-abdominal disease. However, in the absence of extra-abdominopelvic disease, radiological scanning does not replace s...
Ultrasound.This scan uses sound waves to create an image of the ovaries. This helps the doctor determine the size and location of a cyst. Treatment of ovarian cysts Watchful waiting. Most ovarian cysts will go away on their own. If you don't have any bothersome symptoms, especially if you...
Computed tomography(CT) has a sensitivity and specificity of 90%. ACT scanis most useful for a child who is suspected of havingperforated appendicitisor a patient whose clinical presentation may be unusual or unclear. View chapter Explore book ...
Physical examination and CT scan revealed a large tumor in the left adnexa. She underwent total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with omentectomy. A left ovarian mass measuring 11 cm in diameter was found. Histological diagnosis was hepatoid carcinoma of the left ovary. ...
CT scan revealed an abdominal-pelvic endoperitoneal complex mass (154×108×142 mm) with a necrotic colliquative central area and a solid peripheral area, displacing ileum and left colon; some aortic lymph node swellings (maximum diameter 14 mm); solid inhomogeneous parenchymal lung tissue in th...
Dermoid of the ovary.On the coronal scan at left, there is fluid within the dermoid cyst (white arrow). This cyst has actually ruptured and has surrounding infiltration (yellow arrow). On the axial scan, there is a tooth (red arrow) seen at bone windows, as well as a small bone (blu...
Computed tomography (CT) scan of the patient’s abdomen and pelvis demonstrated a largely solid pelvic mass arising from the right adnexa, measuring 16.5 cm × 12.8 cm × 11.1 cm. She was additionally noted to have small volume ascites, a small right pleural effusion and three sub-centimeter...
