Ultrasound of Fecal Incontinence: The First Line of Evaluation
Presentation provided by Philips Healthcare
1 SDMS CME credit | Category: OB | Content Level: Intermediate
Fecal incontinence is a distressing and often underdiagnosed condition with significant clinical impact. This session reviews the scope of the disorder and highlights the essential role of ultrasound in evaluating the rectal and sphincter complex. Attendees will gain insights into sonographic anatomy, diagnostic findings, and treatment pathways.
Objectives:
- Define the clinical scope and contributing factors of fecal incontinence.
- Identify the anatomy of the rectal and sphincter complex as seen on ultrasound.
- Recognize ultrasound features associated with sphincter complex disruptions.
- Review available treatment options for fecal incontinence.

Ultrasound of the Pelvic Floor
1 SDMS CME credit | Category: OB | Content Level: Beginner
This session offers a comprehensive review of pelvic floor ultrasound, emphasizing anatomical landmarks, sonographic techniques, and the evaluation of common disorders and interventions. Attendees will explore scanning protocols, patient positioning, and the appearance of surgical interventions such as slings and mesh. Real case studies will highlight complications and provide practical context for clinical application.
Objectives:
- Understand pelvic floor anatomy and sonographic landmarks.
- Identify common pelvic floor disorders and surgical interventions.
- Review scanning techniques and patient positioning for pelvic floor imaging.
- Recognize post-intervention complications using ultrasound.

IUD: It's Unusual Demeanor
1 SDMS CME credit | Category: OB | Content Level: Intermediate
This session explores the types, mechanisms, and sonographic evaluation of intrauterine devices (IUDs). Attendees will examine uterine anatomy, placement considerations, and imaging characteristics of normal versus abnormal IUD positioning. Contraindications, risk factors, and clinical implications will also be reviewed.
Objectives:
- Understand uterine anatomy and its impact on IUD placement.
- Describe the mechanisms and actions of various IUD types.
- Recognize sonographic findings associated with normal and abnormal IUD placement.
- Identify benefits and contraindications of IUD use in gynecologic health.

Transvaginal Ultrasound Evaluation of Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis with Surgical Correlation
1 SDMS CME credit | Category: OB | Content Level: Intermediate
This session explores the transvaginal sonographic evaluation of deep infiltrating endometriosis, focusing on image acquisition, lesion appearance, and correlation with surgical outcomes. Attendees will review sonographic features of endometriosis subtypes, dynamic techniques used during scanning, and the diagnostic advantages of ultrasound in assessing pelvic pain.
Objectives:
- Recognize the sonographic appearance of deep infiltrating and ovarian subtypes of endometriosis.
- Describe the advantages of ultrasound over MRI in evaluating pelvic pain and endometriosis, including dynamic maneuvers.
- Understand how scan accuracy and diagnostic outcomes improve with experience and specialization.
