Hyperreactio luteinalis (enlarged ovaries) during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy: common clinical associations.

The objective of this series was to assess sonographic and clinical findings in patients with hyperreactio luteinalis (HL; enlarged ovaries). We retrospectively identified 31 patients with HL and collected data including gestational age, maximum ovarian size, and pregnancy outcomes. Hyperreactio luteinalis was detected at a mean gestational age of 21.

Ultrasound of the postpartum uterus.

The ultrasound findings in the postpartum uterus will be described with a focus on differentiating normal from pathologic conditions. Imaging of the postpartum uterus will include a discussion of the normal postpartum uterus, postpartum hematomas, and retained products of conception. Clinical management and therapeutic implications based on sonographic findings will be emphasized.

Ultrasound of the gravid uterus.

The ultrasound findings involving the gravid uterus will be described with a focus on differentiating normal from pathologic conditions. Topics pertaining to the gravid uterus include uterine fibroids, müllerian anomalies, cervical shortening, the normal and pathologic appearance of cesarean delivery scars, and uterine rupture. Clinical management and therapeutic implications based on sonographic findings will be emphasized.

Feasibility of using MR enterography for the assessment of terminal ileitis and inflammatory activity in children with Crohn disease.

Background And Objective: Radiation exposure increases cancer risk in children with Crohn disease (CD). Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) can image the gastrointestinal tract without exposure to radiation. The aim of the present study was to determine whether our MRE protocol could diagnose terminal ileitis and the degree of inflammatory activity in children with CD.

Female infertility: a systematic approach to radiologic imaging and diagnosis.

Imaging plays a key role in the diagnostic evaluation of women for infertility. The pelvic causes of female infertility are varied and range from tubal and peritubal abnormalities to uterine, cervical, and ovarian disorders. In most cases, the imaging work-up begins with hysterosalpingography to evaluate fallopian tube patency.
