Objectives: After studying the article entitled “Predictive Value of Three-Dimensional Transvaginal Sonography for Staging of Endometrial Neoplasia,” you will be able to:
Outline the assessment of three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound images and the accurate staging of endometrial cancer
Compare characteristics of endometrial cancer demonstrated with ultrasound to postsurgery findings
Describe how the benefits of the study outweighed the limitations
What is another name for endometrial carcinoma described in study? Atypical endometrial proliferation Atypical endometrial hyperplasia Atypical endometrial adenocarcinoma Atypical endometrial hypertrophy
What was the total thickness percentage of tumor in relation to the uterine wall that accurately diagnosed deep myometrial infiltration? 20% 100% 85% 50%
Which of the following can prevent histologic sampling of the endometrium? Bowel gas Full bladder Cervical stenosis Uterine submucosal fibroid
According to Table 2, which author’s study demonstrated the same outcome between two different imaging modalities? Rodriguez-Trujillo Savelli Antonsen Tanaka
When trying to determine blood flow by ultrasound, what will enable demonstration of vascularity directly to a tumor? Negative sliding test Low pulse repetition frequency Decreased grayscale Shadowing from tumor wall
