This chapter of “Gynaecological Ultrasound Scanning” discusses situations in which gynaecological ultrasound views are not optimal and describes how to recognize these difficulties, using the basic principles of machine setup and baseline pelvic assessment to improve imaging. It focuses on the types of findings that can appear in difficult cases and highlights possible suggestions aimed at optimizing ultrasound acquisition and reporting. A major caveat explicitly emphasized is the need to acknowledge limitations of scan findings because clinicians may manage patients based on the report alone. This paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

When performing ultrasound examination, there are times when the views are not optimal. This chapter will highlight such situations and help one to recognize them. This chapter aims to describe the findings and possible suggestions, which may help to optimize the ultrasound imaging. Following the basic principles as described in Chapters 1 and 2 will go a long way to helping with difficult cases, and these will be reinforced in each scenario described below. While reporting the findings, acknowledging the limitations of the scan findings is very important, especially as many clinicians will be managing the patients on the basis of the report only.
