Course Overview
Simple ovarian cysts are common, particularly in premenopausal women, and are typically benign. Transvaginal sonography is the gold standard for their assessment. These cysts usually resolve on their own and do not require follow-up unless symptomatic or larger than 7 cm. In postmenopausal women, cysts larger than 5 cm may require monitoring. The SRU guidelines provide clarity on reporting and follow-up protocols to avoid unnecessary interventions.
Course Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant will:
Analyze the Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound’s simple adnexal cyst consensus.
Perform a complete characterization of both premenopausal and/or postmenopausal patients to evaluate adnexal cyst characteristics.
Target Audience
Physicians, sonographers, and others who perform and/or interpret ultrasound.
