8 min
Ovarian torsion: twists and turns in pelvic pain
  1. To identify key imaging findings of ovarian torsion across ultrasound, CT, and MRI modalities to enhance diagnostic accuracy.
  2. To differentiate ovarian torsion from other causes of acute pelvic pain, such as ectopic pregnancy, pelvic inflammatory disease, and ruptured ovarian cysts, using imaging features and clinical context.
  3. To review imaging-based decision-making pathways to guide timely surgical management and improve patient outcomes.
8 min
Pelvic inflammatory disease and tubo-ovarian abscess: imaging clues and complications
  1. To analyse the spectrum of imaging findings in pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) using ultrasound, CT, and MRI.
  2. To distinguish imaging features that differentiate complicated PID and TOA from mimickers such as malignancy or endometriosis.
  3. To evaluate imaging-driven management strategies and identify potential complications requiring urgent intervention.
8 min
Ectopic pregnancy: imaging in a life-threatening emergency
  1. To identify typical and atypical imaging features of ectopic pregnancy using ultrasound, CT, and MRI.
  2. To recognise key imaging findings that help differentiate ectopic pregnancy from other pelvic emergencies.
  3. To understand the role of imaging in guiding urgent management and improving patient outcomes.
8 min
Postpartum and post-cesarean emergencies
  1. To recognise the spectrum of imaging findings in common postpartum and post-cesarean complications.
  2. To differentiate regular postoperative changes from pathological conditions using ultrasound, CT, and MRI.
  3. To guide clinical management by identifying imaging signs of life-threatening postpartum emergencies, such as haemorrhage, infection, and uterine rupture.
8 min
Acute scrotum: testicular torsion and beyond
  1. To identify the critical imaging features of testicular torsion and other causes of acute scrotal pain using ultrasound and Doppler evaluation.
  2. To differentiate between surgical and non-surgical causes of acute scrotum based on imaging findings.
  3. To recognise imaging pitfalls and atypical presentations that can delay diagnosis and impact patient outcomes.
8 min
Penile trauma and other emergencies of the penis
  1. To describe the imaging features of common penile emergencies, including fracture, priapism, and vascular injuries.
  2. To differentiate between true penile fracture and other causes of penile trauma using ultrasound and MRI.
  3. To understand the role o
