Objectives: After studying the article entitled “Sonographic Diagnosis of a Mature Cystic Teratoma Resulting in Acute Torsion,” you will be able to:
Define mature cystic teratoma
Identify sonographic characteristics of mature cystic teratomas
Identify sonographic characteristics of ovarian torsion
What ultrasound technique was used to aid in the measurement of the pelvic structure? Panoramic (extended field of view) Pulsed-wave Doppler M-mode Power Doppler
A hyperechoic focus or foci that protrudes into a cystic space and demonstrates shadowing is a Rokitansky nodule, also called a: Dot-dash sign Tip of the iceberg sign Fat-fluid levels Dermoid plug
What sonographic finding is associated with ovarian torsion? Tip of the iceberg sign Whirlpool sign Dot-dash sign Wall-echo-shadow sign
What surgical procedure is preferred for treating ovarian torsion? Laparoscopy Oophorectomy Laparotomy Hysterectomy
What ultrasound parameter is demonstrated in Figure 1? Pulsed Doppler Color Doppler Continuous-wave Doppler Power Doppler
