3D Orientation of the Retroverted Uterus Job Aid

3D Orientation of the Retroverted Uterus Job Aid The retroverted uterine fundus lies within the posterior pelvis requiring adjustments to maintain anatomical alignment. Note: The following guide uses an endovaginal 12 o’clock transducer orientation. Create a 3D Preset for retroflexed uteruses. Before Acquiring the 3D Data Set Step 1 Complete the transabdominal / endovaginal exam documenting uterine position. Step 2 Tap the U/D Flip feature on the touch screen. U/D Flip Step 2 Tap the L/R Flip feature on the touch screen. L/R Flip After Acquisition of the 3D Data Set Step 1 Align the endometrium parallel to the bottom of the system monitor using the Z-axis rotation of the A and B planes. B Step 2 Select the Volume Rendering (VR) view on the touch screen. C VR Step 3 Tap the 180° Flip feature on the touch screen. 90º 180º 270º A S P P S S R- R S – superior / cephalad; I – inferior / caudal; R – right; L – left; P – posterior; A – anterior / 12 o’clock SIEMENS Unrestricted Published by Siemens Healthcare GmbH © Siemens Healthcare GmbH, 2021 Master Template Effective Date: 3/5/2020 | HOOD05162003074494 Healthineers Effective Date: 27 July 2021 | HOOD05162003201795 Job Aid | 3D Orientation of the Retroverted Uterus Effective Date: 27 July 2021 | HOOD05162003201795 References: Abuhamad, A.Z., Singleton, S., Zhao, Y., and Bocca, S.
