Question 1

adnexal masses seen on ultrasound even though tubes and ovaries removed 7yrs ago with hysterectomy (cervix remains). how is this possible and what do colours on ultrasound mean? red, blue, yellow,orange, white?

Accepted Answer

: If all ovarian tissue was removed in addition to the hysterectomy (except for the cervix), see your GYN physician for guidance, as he/she might require a laparoscopy procedure to obtain a biopsy. The "colors" on an ultrasound represent blood flow through the mass, with different colors showing different rates of flow.

Question 2

what does rempen  on my ultrasound mean?

Accepted Answer

Rempen: is a researcher whose method of calculating gestational age based on mean sac diameter is commonly included in the standard early pregnancy measurement package on US equipment.

Question 3

what do the colors mean on an ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

See answer: Color doppler identifies moving velocities – usually hues of red in one direction with respect to the transducer , blue in the other – usually used for identifying blood vessel flow.

Question 4

what do the colors on an ultrasound mean?

Accepted Answer

Blood flow: They hsow the blood flow through whatever organ you are looking at.

Question 5

8 weeks ultrasound really means 6 weeks right ?

Accepted Answer

Kinda: Pregnancies are usually dated based on the first day of the last menstrual period (gestational age).  Everyone uses that assumption even though you usually get pregnant about two weeks later.  You are correct in that fetal age is two weeks less than gestational age.  Usually, only embryologists who study fetal development use fetal age.

Question 6

what does the ultrasound language 'nonspecific' mean?

Accepted Answer

Non specific: No specific ultrasound findings were present. Findings were not likely pathological and could be caused by a variety of things.

Question 7

what does it mean to get an urgent ultrasound callback?

Accepted Answer

Urgent callback: Not sure exactly what this is in reference to, but in general it would mean that there is, or there is a possibility of,  an acute or important finding that requires further characterization with ultrasound.

Question 8

what does 7weeks and 6days +/- 5days mean on a ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

Fetal age: this means the baby's age is 1 day shy of 8 weeks with a margin of error for the test of 5 days. So the baby could be anywhere from 7wk+1d to 8wk+4d.

Question 9

what does it mean if the ultrasound did not see anything in the sac?

Accepted Answer

Blighted ovum.: That would depend on how advanced the pregnancy is.  By 5 weeks there should be at least a yolk sac present in the gestational sac in the uterus. By six weeks a fetal pole should be seen and 85 to 90% of the time a fetal heart beat is noted by six weeks.  If there is no fetal pole or yolk sac present by six weeks, it is unlikely that the pregnancy is normal. That is referred to as a blighted ovum.

Question 10

at my 12 week ultrasound the nt measured 3.9mm ... what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

You need more tests: This test is a screening test done during pregnancy. A value higher than 3.5mm indicates that further tests, such as amniocentesis or cvs, could be useful to be sure that the baby doesn't have down syndrome.
