LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1) Understand the role of imaging in evaluation and management of the patient with suspected ectopic pregnancy. 2) Recognize the imaging findings in both common and uncommon manifestations of ectopic pregnancy, including unusual sites of pregnancy implantation. 3) Avoid common pitfalls in diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy.

ABSTRACT

Ectopic pregnancy is the leading cause of first trimester maternal morbidity and mortality, and the diagnosis may often be challenging. In this course, the role of  imaging  in evaluation and management  of patients with suspected ectopic pregnancy will be reviewed.  Both common and uncommon manifestations of ectopic pregnancy will be discussed, including unusual sites of pregnancy implantation. Diagnosis of C-section scar implantation and early detection of placental implantation disorders will be reviewed. Throughout the course, common diagnostic pitfalls and strategies to avoid these pitfalls will be emphasized.
