a. posterior cul-de-sac

The __________ is a very gravity-dependent location within the peritoneum and is one of the most frequent sites of intraperitoneal free fluid collection. A. Posterior cul-de-sac B. Space of Retzius C. Dome of the bladder D. All of the above E. None of the above

d. anterior cul-de-sac

What is the name of the site demarcated by the arrow? a. uterine fundus b. pouch of douglas c. posterior cul-de-sac d. anterior cul-de-sac e. space of retzius

true

the bladder is a low-attenuating structure and tends to create posterior acoustic enhancement artifact. This artifact can be partially mitigated by decreasing the far-field gain. true or false

a. true

the release of urine from the bladder relies upon synchronized contraction of the detrusor muscle and relaxation of the internal and external urethral sphincter muscle groups. true or false

c. it will increase the artifact

what effect will amplifying or turning up the far-field gain have on posterior acoustic enhancement artifact when imaging the bladder? a. no demonstrable effect b. it will eliminate the artifact c. it will increase the artifact d. it will introduce additional b-line artifacts e. it will improve detailed visualization of far-field structure deep in the bladder

e. a and c

which of the following imaging artifacts are most relevant to bladder sonography? a. posterior acoustic enhancement artifact b. b-line artifacts c. reverberation artifact d. none of the above e. a and c

e. a and b only

which of the following planes is a standard imaging plane for bladder sonography? a. transverse plane b. sagittal plane c. oblique plane d. all of the above e. a and b only

the posterior aspect of the bladder, where the ureters insert into the bladder

which of the following statements best describes the trigone of the urinary bladder? a. the most superior aspect of the bladder (the dome) b. the base of the bladder, located adjacent to the urethra c. the outermost histologic layer of the bladder, adjacent to the adventitia d. the posterior aspect of the bladder, where the ureters insert into the bladder e. none of the above

e. a and c

which of the following statements is correct? a. the uterus tends to become anteverted as the bladder empties b. the uterus does not change in location in relation to changes in bladder volume c. the uterus tends to become retroverted as the bladder becomes distended with urine d. none of the above e. a and c

post-void residual urine volumes in adult males should measure less than 150ml

which of the following statements regarding post-void residual urine volumes is (are) correct? a. urine volumes measuring greater than 10ml in an adult male indicate pathology b. post-void residual urine volumes in adult males should measure less than 150ml c. they can only be determined through Foley catheter insertion d. all of the above e. none of the above

all of the above

which of the following statements regarding sonographic imaging technique of the bladder is correct? a. the probe should be fanned through the entire volume of the bladder b. the probe will sometimes need to be rocked (heel-toe motion) when imaging in the sagittal plane c. probe manipulation is often required, as the bladder will vary in its shape based on urine volume. d. all of the above e. none of the above

e. b and d only

which of the following transducers is best suited for bladder sonography? a. a high-frequency transducer b. a low-frequency transducer c. a transducer with a frequency range of 5-10 MHz d. a transducer with a frequency range of 5-2 MHz e. b and d only
