● 2 to <20K cycles: sounds
heard by human
NOTES
● Types of Ultrasound
Machine:
○ Portable and
○ Stand-up machine
NOTES
● Curvilinear: abdominal,
pelvic UTZ
● Linear: transvaginal and
transrectal UTZ
NOTES
● Follow the principle of
ALARA “as low as
reasonably achievable”
NOTES
● 2 Effects of UTZ
○ Thermal:
○ Mechanical:
● Attenuation means it
becomes heat in the
tissues
● Very low: nawawala yung
heat
● Pag mataas ang thermal
mag-stay sa organs
NOTES
● The more dense mas
mabilis ang acoustic speed
● Obstetric UTZ is in soft
tissue
NOTES
● Types
○ B-mode/M-mode
○ Doppler UTZ
● B-mode: Black and white
scan
● M-mode: used for the
heart of the baby
● Doppler UTZ: with color,
3D & 4D UTZ
● Is UTZ safe?
○ 2D is safe as long as
it is needed
NOTES
● ALARA is the principle we
should follow
NOTES
● Fetal Presentation and number
○ It is the identification of the
presentation
● Standard OB UTZ
○ Included in usual pelvic UTZ
● Limited exam
○ For example repeat utz for low
amniotic fluid volume
● Specialized exam
○ Example is the congenital anomaly
scan
NOTES
●
NOTES
● Transabdominal UTZ
○ Used in huge
abdominal masses
because
transvaginal utz can
not see above the
pelvis
●
NOTES
● Before we do a
transvaginal we do first a
transabdominal
● Retroverted means the
fundus is pointed towards
the sacrum
● Anteverted uterus is
pointed towards the
bladder
NOTES
●
NOTES
● Better to use TVS when
looking at the uterus,
ovarian pathology,
adnexal and cul de sac
NOTES
Advantages:
● Mas maganda ang view if
you use TVS
● Less painful than
transabdominal because
of full bladder
Disadvantages:
● Can’t see larger masses
NOTES
● Difference between
transabdominal and TVS
view of a first trimester

NOTES
Requests Needed:
● Usually obstetric UTZ
● Established AOG
○ Age of the fetus in weeks during
the request of UTZ based on the
LMP, EDC based on scan
● Reason for scan to know the focus of
UTZ
● Contact number is important to call the
attention of the attending when there
is ectopic pregnancy
NOTES
● Error of margin for AOG goes higher
as you go later in your pregnancy
● Later in pregnancy UTZ is not that
accurate anymore beyond 2 weeks
of pregnancy
● Dating after 22 weeks is suboptimal
○ Means you can’t base your
AOG on UTZ because it’s
already beyond 2 weeks
NOTES
Discrepancy between Menstrual and UTZ EDC
● >5days LMP discrepancy vs <9wks request
for UTZ, you will follow the UTZ bcoz mas
accurate and UTZ
● 2-3 days discrepancy follow LMP
How to compute for AOG?
● LMP: Jan.5, 2021
● Date today: April 16, 2021
● AOG: 14wks 4/7 days
● Computation:
[Jan(31-5)+Feb(28)+March(31)+April(16)]=
101 divided by (7days)

NOTES
● Meaning meron ng established age,
she’s sure of her LMP but discrepancy
is more than 3 weeks=> rule out IUGR
● IUGR: Intrauterine Growth Restriction
○ Mas maliit si baby in comparison
with AOG
● Request another UTZ 2-3 wks after to
see if the baby is growing for close
monitoring to avoid intrauterine fetal
demise
●
NOTES
● 1st trimester: 0-14 wks
● 2nd trimester: 15-28wks
● The rest is from 29-42wks

NOTES
● Nuchal translucency thickness:
yung batok ng baby
What’s the importance?
● One of the measures to see
chromosomal abnormalities
● down syndrome: thickened nuchal
translucency
● There are other congenital
malformations that can develop
later on pregnancy
NOTES
● Hindi lahat kelangan
bigyan ng request for UTZ
unless may complaint ng
hypogastric pain, bleeding,
ART (Artificial
Reproductive Technique),
and not sure of LMP
NOTES
Best time to:
● assess age of baby
● access the nuchal
translucency para
makatipid ang patient
● test for chorionicity
(multiple pregnancy),
developing placenta,
adnexa (ovaries and
fallopian tube)
● assess the cervix

NOTES
● In ultrasound Viability is defined as
presence of cardiac activity
● In OB viability is defined as viable
pregnancy usually after 20wks
● In Perinat and neonat: viability is
defined as when a baby is
delivered; will depend also on the
NICU capability of the hospital
● In a book above 20wks or 500g is
the viability
NOTES
● Kapag nagpa UTZ early in the
pregnancy (1st 3 weeks) hindi mo
dapat iexpect na may embryo
agad only a decidualized
endometrium (makapal and
endometrial lining)
● Dapat alam mo yung stages at
kelan sila makikita sa UTZ para
hindi ka magsabi na may
gestational sac pero walang
embryo baka na abort.
NOTES
● Pano masabing hindi na maganda ang pregnancy
● Embryonic bradycardia (<100)
● Don’t tell your patient na iraspa na agad on the
first UTZ kasi pangit ang findings.
● Repeat the UTZ a week or 2 wks after to confirm
this abnormal finding
● An embryo and gestational sac should grow
1mm/day, if hindi nag grow that’s the time you can
say hindi viable ang pregnancy or pregnancy failure
● Pwede din magkamali ang mga sonologist
NOTES
How to measure Pregnancy
Failure
● MSD: Mean Sac Diameter
(gestational sac)
● TAS: Transabdominal Scan
● TVS: Transvaginal Scan
● In TVS mas maliit ang
makikita
NOTES
● CRL: Crown Rump Length -
most precise
measurement in the 1st
trimester
● Accuracy is + 5days

NOTES
● HC: Head circumference
NOTES
● Large subchorionic fluid
collection => Subchorionic
hematoma or hemorrhage
NOTES
● What is the most common
pathology with previous CS
● Have high risk for curettage
● To rule out placenta
○ Placenta previa
● Worst placenta previa with uterine
scars: Placenta accreta (abnormally
adherent placenta)
● In the first tirmester always look
for the urinary bladder
NOTES
● Ectopic pregnancy
○ Outside the uterus
○ Extrauterine
pregnancy
Gestational NOTES
Sac ● Gestational sac is noted
outside the uterus
UTERUS ● There’s already a fetus
Embryo and yolk sac

NOTES
● How to diagnose ectopic pregnancy
and differentiate it with an early
intrauterine pregnancy (IUP) in UTZ
● Gestational sac is round in IUP
● Pseudosac or Ectopic: ovoid shape
NOTES
● IUP kasi may double sac
Pseudosac:
● Ovoid
● IUGS: Intrauterine
● Single sac Gestational Sac
(manipis)
● central
IUGS:
● Round
● Double sac
● eccentric
NOTES
● When you see ectopic pregnancy
request for Beta HCG
● Should be serum not urine beta
HCG
NOTES
● Level of B-HCG usually doubles in 2
days
● Pag tiningnan ang b-hcg sa UTZ
mahirap sabihin kung abortion,
ectopic, so request for baseline hcg
● Pag nag doble: intrauterine
(normal)
● Pag bumababa: abortion
● Pag tumataas pero kalahati lang:
suspect ectopic pregnancy
NOTES
● Mid trimester UTZ is the
second trimester UTZ
● Up to 22wks still accurate
in doing your aging
NOTES
● Best time to do mid
trimester scan: between
18-22 weeks
● 24-26 weeks congenital
scan
NOTES
● What to measure during
mid trimester?
○ BPD
○ HC
○ AC
○ FDL
NOTES
●

NOTES
● Estimation of fetal weight
● Table of nomogram
● If you are suspecting IUGR
request UTZ after 2-3wks
NOTES
● Measuring amniotic fluid
● Amniotic fluid is produced
by:
○ Chorion frondosum
○ Skin
○ urine - Major source
of fetal fluid
NOTES
● Amniotic fluid is also produced by
fetal respiratory tract fluid and fetal
swallowing
● No kidneys in UTZ (Renal Agenesis),
what will happen in amniotic fluid?
○ Konti ang amniotic fluid
● No stomach bubble in UTZ:
Amniotic fluid will increase
NOTES
● This is the amnitioc fluid
volume (AFV) we expect
in each AOG
NOTES
● 4 Quadrant: divide the
abdomen into four and
measure the amniotic
fluid in each quadrant
● Single deepest pocket:
look for the deepest area
NOTES
● SVP: Single Vertical Pocket
● AFI: Amniotic Fluid Index
● Normal when using SVP is
2-8cm
NOTES
● Single deepest pocket is
the preferred technique
● Kapag nakakita kayo ng
report from OB sonologist
they only used one pocket
NOTES
● When doing pelvic UTZ
look for the placenta and
its relationship with the
cervix
Placenta previa ● Placenta Previa:
bumabara yung placenta
sa cervix
Fetal Head/Fetal
presentation
NOTES
● Question: Bakit kelangan ulitin ang UTZ by
35-36wks? Ano ang nangyayari sa uterus?
● Answer: lumalaki ang uterus, naddisplace ang
placenta kasi may nafform na lower uterine
segment.
● Humahaba ang lower uterine segment during TERM,
nasstretch out ang uterus that’s why naddisplace
paakyat ang placenta
● Kapag hindi nadisplace ang placenta, placenta previa
pa din yun.
NOTES
● 3 Classification of Placental
Location
○ Normal
○ Low-lying
○ Previa
● Wala na yung dating classification
na marginalis and totalis
Edge of placenta
NOTES
● Normal placenta more than 2cm
apart
Cervix
● Placenta Previa: nag overlap,
nilampasan na yung internal os
Abdominal UTZ ● Low lying placenta: from the edge
of the placenta to internal os is less
than 2cm
NOTES
● What is the significance of
placental edge, how will you
deliver?
● This is how you will explain to
the patient their type of delivery
● Lahat ng overlapping placenta
previa hindi pwede mag normal
delivery. Schedule for CS at term
NOTES
● Placental doppler uses
color in the assessment
like to rule out placenta
accreta
● Do CS and hysterectomy
NOTES
● Assess for the cervix
● Normal cervical length = >25mm @
16-24wks
● Not routinely done to do a cervical
length measurement
● Cervical assessment uses a
transvaginal probe even if the
abdomen is already big
NOTES
● Multiple gestation
● Chorionicity is better evaluated
before 14-15wks
● Saan nakikita ang lambda sign and
T-sign?
NOTES
● Type of twinning can be assessed
on the day of separation of sac
after fertilization
● For example: if the the sac
separates 1-3 days after
fertilization you will have a
dichorionic, diamnionic type of
twinning
T-sign NOTES
● What type of twinning
would you see the T-sign
and the Lambda sign?
● Di-Di: Lambda sign
● Mono-Di: T-sign
*magulo explanation ni doc, di
Lambda sign ko na-gets sorry:( tiningnan ko na
lang siya sa internet.
NOTES
● How to measure the discordance
○ Wt of larger twin minus wt. of
smaller twin over wt of the
larger twin
● A score of 20% discordance is high
risk for adverse outcome
● Memorize the formula, tinatanong
daw sa ward rotation
NOTES
● How to monitor Multiple
gestation?
● Mono-mono is more complicated
because:
○ They share one placenta
○ Risk for cord entanglement
○ Twin to twin transmission
syndrome
● That’s why mono-mono should
have more frequent UTZ
NOTES
●
NOTES
● This is a detailed examination,
measuring everything from head to
toe for a congenital scan
● Doc is doing scan @ 24 weeks kasi
may mga congenital anomalies na

needed
NOTES
● These are the conditions
of a mother to request for
Biophysical Profile Scoring
(BPS) => complicated
pregnancies
NOTES
● Binasa lang po ni doc
NOTES
● 5 Components of BPS
● Alin ang di nammeasure ng UTZ
among those 5 parameters?
○ Fetal heart rate reactivity ->
measured by nonstress test
(NST)
● The rest 4 parameters are UTZ
findings
● Amniotic fluid volume: chronic
parameter (matagal ng may insult)
● Fetal heart reactivity: acute
NOTES
● Scoring of BPS usually
zero or two
● Walang one
● Pag nasa UTZ: over eight
lang
● Pagna NST na that’s the
time you can say over ten
NOTES
● Sabi sa BPS, first to appear last to
disappear
● Tandaan ang mauuna tone,
movement, breathing, reactivity
● Pagmawawala: reactivity,
breathing, movement, tone
NOTES
● If you have patients who are
hypertensive, diabetics request for
OB Doppler velocimetry to measure
arteries
● Bakit ganito ka aga ginagawa?
○ Para makita kung may
preeclampsia si patient or to
prevent IUGR
NOTES
● When a patient comes to you for
fetal aging at 2nd or 3rd trimester
you will base on your non
biometric parameters
● Distal femoral epiphysis present at
32wks
● Placental thickness can be
measured usually compatible at
22-35wks
NOTES
● In gynecologic UTZ you measure
uterine corpus
NOTES
● Uterus is based in relation
to the bladder
Midposition uterus
NOTES
● Endometrium depending on the menstrual cycle
● Thickness of endometrium will depend on what day
the ultrasound was requested or the menstrual cycle
● For example if the endometrium is thickened at
proliferative phase (>8mm) it is not normal you
have to manage the patient
● In a bleeding postmenopausal women with >5mm
thickness do biopsy because it is already considered
endometrial cancer
NOTES
● Menstrual phase: Endometrial lining ay
manipis kasi nagsshed-off ang lining
● Proliferative phase: after menses
● Anong hormone ang elevated during
proliferative phase?
○ Estrogen: helps in thickenning your
lining, siya din ang nagpapalaki ng
follicles
● During secretory phase mas mataas na ang
progesterone siya ang nagme-maintain ng
pregnancy
NOTES
● When patient is on tamoxifen it is
expected na may hyperplasia at
cystic spaces sa unang gamit but if
it persists despite discontinuation
do biopsy
NOTES
● Grading of myoma is based on its
attachment to the myometrium
● Also assessed in transvaginal UTZ
Entirely Submucous
myoma
NOTES
● FIGO Classification
○ PALM
○ COEIN
● Grading of myomas
Intramural myoma
depending on the location
Submucous
○ Submucous
myoma ○ Intramural
○ Subserous
Submserous myoma
NOTES
● Walang nabanggit si doc,
nag jump na sa UTZ
NOTES
● Ovary is seen medial to
iliac vessel
● Normal ovary
Transvaginal UTZ
NOTES
● This is used to determine if
ovarian tumor is malignant or
benign
● Pattern recognition: simple rules
● Green: benign tumors
● Red: malignant tumors
NOTES
● IOTA’s benign and malignant
features
NOTES
● Normal fallopian tubes are not
seen during UTZ
● Hydrosalphinges: fallopian tube
with fluid
● Cog-wheel appearance: nakikita
yung division or incomplete
septation ng fallopian tube
● Salphingitis: inflammation of
fallopian tubes
NOTES
● Image of a hydrosalpinx: fluid
within the fallopian tube
NOTES
● Hysterogram: done to see the
patency of fallopian tubes
○ for patients who want to get
pregnant
○ Patients with diagnosis of
endometrial polyp
● Papsmear should be normal before
the procedure
NOTES
● Analgesics are given because the
procedure is very painful
● Antibiotics are given especially for
patients with hydrosalpinx
NOTES
● Images show how HSSG/SISH are
done by dilating the uterus
● SISH: Saline Infusion

NOTES
● Follicle Monitoring to assess
ovulation
● Look for mature follicle para alam
kelan magsex ang couple
NOTES
● Antral follicle: days 2-4 of your
menses

mature follicle and nag ovulate
● Mas madalas ang monitoring sa
follicles
Mature follicle
Corpus luteum
NOTES
● Probes being used
○ Abdominal probe
○ Transvaginal probe: mas
malaki
NOTES
● 2D: black and white
● 3D: may coronal view
● 4D: with color
NOTES
● In 4D the image is real time and
gumagalaw ang baby
● In 3D & 4D UTZ limit to only 30min
kasi heat generating siya hindi
maganda for the baby
NOTES
● A 3D gyne scan
● Difference between normal and
Septate uterus septate uterus (may hati)
●
Normal uterus
NOTES
● Image of a septate uterus and
