This presentation will review MRI appearance of acute gynecologic conditions, both in pregnant and nonpregnant patients.
At the conclusion of this educational activity, the participants will
1. Review the role of MRI in assessment of acute gynecologic conditions
2. Understand the appearance of the following stages of hemorrhage on various MRI sequences:
- Hyperacute
- Acute
- Early subacute
- Late subacute
3. Review MRI appearance of the following acute gynecologic conditions:
- Ectopic pregnancy
- Ovarian torsion
- Acute leiomyoma degeneration
- Torsion of subserosal leiomyoma
- Uterine rupture
- Retained products of conception
- Ovarian cyst rupture
- Hemorrhagic ovarian cyst
- Pelvic inflammatory disease
