Review the types of ectopics: incidence, clinical symptoms, risk factors, pathophysiology and outcomes
Present the spectrum of findings on US: ACR appropriateness criteria for first line imaging, pearls and pitfalls
Mimics of ectopic pregnancy
Multimodality case review
Treatment, including the radiologist's role
Complications of therapy, partially treated and misdiagnosed cases
• Schematic review of the anatomy of the uterus, uterotubal junction and ovary
• US case review with typical findings across the spectrum of ectopics
• Review of US mimics: endometrioma, tuboovarian abscess, ruptured corpus luteum cyst and dermoid
• US pearls & pitfalls: interstitial line sign, hemoperitoneum, intradecidual sign, pseudosacs, tubal ring sign
• Case examples aided by cross-sectional imaging
• Imaging findings in cases complicated by early misdiagnosis, partial treatment and failed therapy
• Cases aided by image guided therapy
