Pelvic Ultrasound Imaging: A Cased-Based Application is a comprehensive learning resource designed specifically for ob/gyn, radiology practitioners, urogynecology practitioners, diagnostic medical sonographers, and individuals preparing for Board exams. It offers a unique and engaging approach to mastering pelvic ultrasound exams.

The book presents current cases in gynecology and urogynecology in a step-by-step format, based on one-on-one didactic oral case reviews conducted by residents and fellows. Each case is accompanied by an expert walk-through, featuring directive questions to aid the reader in performing accurate exam assessments.

The cases in the book are presented in a way that mimics a clinical day, with cases that are varied and unrelated to each other. This progressive difficulty level challenges the reader's interpretation skills as they progress through the text.

Throughout the book, step-by-step instruction is provided, covering various topics such as the development of 3D volume set skills, reporting nomenclature, discussion of diagnostic criteria, instrumentation topics, and clinical correlation. The emphasis is placed on critically assessing images rather than relying solely on presumed classic image appearances for common pathologies.

Examples of common gynecology cases, including ovarian corpus luteum, hemorrhagic corpus luteum, uterine leiomyomata, endometrial polyps, and caesarean section scars, are provided, along with more uncommon cases. Similarly, examples of common pelvic floor cases, such as normal anal sphincter complex and thickened bladder wall, are included, as well as more uncommon urogynecology pathologies such as rectal vaginal fistula, rectal prolapse, and mesh assessment.

Each case is accompanied by directive questions to enhance diagnostic appraisal. Up to five images per case are included, along with exam findings, to facilitate a thorough understanding of the subject matter.

Pelvic Ultrasound Imaging: A Cased-Based Application is an invaluable resource for practitioners seeking to excel in pelvic ultrasound imaging. Its comprehensive coverage, expert guidance, and practical approach make it an essential tool for both novice and experienced practitioners in the field.
