Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

Recognize key sonographic features of common and challenging gynecologic pathologies, such as ovarian mature cystic teratomas, and enhanced myometrial vascularity (EMV);

Apply the M6 model, a risk prediction tool that stratifies the risk of ectopic pregnancy in patients with a pregnancy of unknown location (PUL); and

Distinguish endometrial findings to identify endometrial polyps and management options for asymptomatic polyps.

Who Should Attend?

This masterclass is designed for all providers using ultrasound in early pregnancy and gynecologic care, such as practicing sonographers, obstetricians, gynecologists, family practitioners, infertility specialists (REI), radiologists, nurses, residents/fellows, and other clinicians.
