Gynecology - Female Pelvic Ultrasound

Gynecology - Ultrasound of the Female Pelvis: Normal and Physiological Variations

This course provides the necessary knowledge to master the techniques of abdominal and transvaginal pelvic ultrasound. The goal is to provide greater accuracy and speed in identifying pathologies and abnormalities.

In gynecological emergencies, decisions must be made quickly, safely, and accurately due to the risk of worsening health and death of the patient. Identifying blood collections and abscesses is fundamental; for example, ruptured cysts and pelvic inflammatory disease, ovarian and adnexal torsion, pedunculated fibroids, traumatic uterine perforation, delivered fibroids, and uterine inversion can also be diagnosed. Guidance on cyst and collection punctures, and drainage of abscesses in the pouch of Douglas can be easily performed using transvaginal ultrasound.

The course is backed by over 40 years of experience with obstetric and gynecological ultrasound at the Hospital das Clínicas complex of USP (University of São Paulo). The program was conceived by Professor Dr. Ayrton Roberto Pastore, from the Department of Radiology and Oncology at HCFMUSP, and brings together leading specialists from the largest hospital complex in the Americas.
