The Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound convened a multisociety panel to develop a first-trimester US lexicon based on scientific evidence, societal guidelines, and expert consensus that would be appropriate for imagers, clinicians, and patients. Through a modified Delphi process with consensus of at least 80%, agreement was reached for preferred terms, synonyms, and terms to avoid. An intrauterine pregnancy (IUP) is defined as a pregnancy implanted in a normal location within the uterus.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate early pregnancy outcomes when a sonogram shows a normal embryonic heart rate in the first trimester, while also analyzing how various risk factors impact those outcomes.
- Out of 6597 cases analyzed, 91.4% resulted in successful first-trimester outcomes, although the prognosis dropped slightly with risk factors such as maternal age over 35, large subchorionic hematomas, and multiple uterine fibroids.
- A normal embryonic heart rate on a first-trimester sonogram suggests a successful outcome rate of at least 83%, even when risk factors are present, and over 90% when these factors are absent.
Objective: We have previously described a model using maternal, antenatal, and ultrasonographic characteristics to assess the risk of delivery within 7 days following diagnosis of abnormal umbilical artery Doppler (UAD) in pregnancies affected by fetal growth restriction (FGR). Therefore, we sought to validate this model in an independent cohort.
Study Design: Retrospective, single referral center study of liveborn singleton pregnancies from 2016 to 2019 complicated by FGR and abnormal UAD (systolic/diastolic ratio ≥95th percentile for gestational age [GA]).
Objectives: To compare first trimester prognosis when an early pregnancy sonogram demonstrates a gestational sac with yolk sac versus gestational sac without yolk sac.
Methods: Our study comprised 823 transvaginal sonograms without identifiable embryo performed at least 35 days from last menstrual period (LMP), in which mean sac diameter was <16 mm and first trimester outcome (live or early pregnancy loss) was known. We recorded the presence or absence of yolk sac, first trimester outcome, and several clinical features: maternal age, time since LMP, and presence or absence of vaginal bleeding.
