1. Review the normal sonographic appearance of the cervix 2. Provide technical pearls for sonographic evaluation of the cervix 3. Illustrate the sonographic appearance of cervical pathology, mimics and pitfalls

1. Embryology, anatomy, and physiology of the cervix 2. Sonographic technique, including color Doppler and real-time maneuvers 3. Normal sonographic appearance with MRI/CT correlation a. Pitfall - normal mucosa mistaken for pathology 4. Non-obstetric pathology a. Congenital abnormalities (septa, duplication, agenesis) b. Infectious/inflammatory lesions (cervicitis) c. Benign lesions, spectrum of appearances i. Nabothian cyst ii. Endocervical polyp iii. Endocervical hyperplasia iv. Myoma d. Malignant lesions i. Cervical carcinoma ii. Secondary invasion of the cervix e. Pitfalls i. Sonographically occult lesions ii. Overlapping appearances and differentiating features 5. Obstetrical-related imaging a. Ectopic pregnancy, abortion in progress, pedunculated products of conception, aneurysm b. Cervical incompetence and pitfalls in length measurements
