1. Understand the normal enhancement patterns of the uterine cervix, endometrium and myometrium on contrast enhanced CT 2. Recognize the CT appearances of pathological processes affecting the endometrium and myometrium. 3. Recognize when additional imaging or referral to Gynecology is advised

Although CT is not the initial imaging modality recommended to evaluate women with suspected gynecological diseases, the female reproductive organs are often imaged on CT performed for a variety of other indications. By illustrating the specrtum of pathological processes affecting the endometrium and myometrium, this exhibit will help radiologists make appropriate diagnoses and recommendations when necessary. 1. Normal enhancement pattern of endometrium and myometrium 2. Myomas with emphasis on abnormal enhancement patterns and locations that may be symptomatic. Adenomyosis. Unusual other benign tumors of the myometrium 3. Abnormal endometrium including endometrial cancer and endometritis 4. Pregnancy related pathological processes including gestational trophoblastic diseases and retianed products of conception
