“…Rapid imaging protocols can be helpful in patients with severe pain who have difficulty remaining immobile. 22 The internal composition of a cyst is easily determined due to the different signal characteristics of fluid and blood. Areas of edema, fat, free fluid, air, blood, and soft tissue can be readily identified due to the superior soft tissue resolution.…”

Objective: The objective of this literature review was to provide a summary of the primary concerns in evaluating ovarian cysts and compare the diagnostic roles of each imaging technique, in an emergent setting. Materials and Methods: A literature review of the imaging evaluation of functional ovarian cysts, emergent complications, and relevant case studies was performed using peer-reviewed articles. The literature search was conducted using PubMed, The Wiley Online Library, and Google Scholar search engines. Results: Sonography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrate comparable accuracy in the diagnosis of functional ovarian cysts and ovarian torsion. While sonography is the preferred method of imaging the female pelvis, CT and MRI demonstrate similar diagnostic capabilities. Conclusion: Functional ovarian cyst rupture/hemorrhage and ovarian torsion can be accurately demonstrated using sonography, CT, and MRI.

“…Sequences also include balanced steady-state free precession gradient echo (“bright blood”) in the axial and coronal planes that, with their mixed T1 and T2-properties, provide an excellent non-contrast assessment of the vasculature and abdominal viscera, together with an axial T1 or T1-weighted spoiled gradient echo sequence preferably with fat suppression to help characterize potential areas of hemorrhage. 7,8…”

Trauma is an important cause of mortality, particularly in the young. While computed tomography (CT) is the mainstay of body imaging in the setting of trauma, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging can be useful in stable patients. Although more commonly used in spinal and musculoskeletal trauma, MR also has a role in abdominopelvic trauma. Broadly, its uses include clarification of equivocal cases, monitoring complications of trauma, particularly with solid organ injury, or as a primary imaging modality for patients with low suspicion for injury for whom avoiding ionizing radiation is a priority—namely, in pediatric and pregnant patients. In this two-part review article, we will review clinical scenarios where this may be encountered, utilizing case examples. Our second installment will focus on the use of MR in pregnant patients and in the characterization of vascular and genitourinary trauma. Body MR can be useful in pregnant patients in characterizing injuries both specific for and not specific for pregnancy. Placental injuries and hematomas in particular may be better seen on MR relative to CT, owing to its superior contrast resolution. MR angiography can be performed either without or with contrast and can be useful to monitor low-grade traumatic aortic injuries. Renal and ureteral injuries can be followed with MR to help identify urine leaks, either in a delayed presentation or in patients who have an iodinated contrast allergy. Lastly, penile injuries are often imaged with ultrasound, but may benefit from additional imaging with MR when the tunica albuginea cannot be completely seen due to overlying hematoma.
