Sociopolitical considerations have sharpened the need for radiologists to use precise terminology in describing normal and abnormal sonographic observations in the first trimester of pregnancy, spurring recent development of a consensus lexicon by the Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound (SRU). The SRU lexicon also addresses intrauterine and endometrial sonographic findings that can develop after cessation of a first trimester pregnancy. This educational session reviews the lexicon and highlights adnexal and intrauterine observations that radiologists might encounter to advance skills in interpretation of these sonographic studies.
