Chairs: Rachel J. Miller

Faculty: Yvette S. Groszmann, Rachel J. Miller, Praveen Jayapal

Description: This course provides a review of imaging techniques to evaluate Mullerian and other gynecologic (lower vaginal, hymenal) anomalies. It will include an update on the new American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) classification system for Mullerian anomalies, review best practices in evaluating gynecologic anomalies, and include a detailed discussion of available imaging modalities to best understand an individual's anatomy. This course will include experts from Pediatric Radiology, Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology, and MIGS Imaging, and will use high-quality images and video presentations with a case-based presentation format.

Learning Objectives: At the end of this course, the participant will be able to:

1. Objective Determine the appropriate workup for correctly diagnosing gynecologic anomalies, based on an understanding of anatomic variants using the ASRM classification system;
2. Objective Optimize the use of ultrasound as a first-line diagnostic tool, and understand the advantages and the limitations of ultrasound; and
3. Objective Optimize the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging techniques, protocols, and interpretation for diagnosis Mullerian anomalies, from a radiologist who helped design institutional protocols.
