Question

What is the imaging modality of choice for TOA? What does it look like?

a) CT scan; complex mass with fluid
b) MRI; solid, well-defined mass
c) Ultrasound; complex mass with fluid
d) X-ray; gas-filled abscess

Answer 1

Ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice for TOA. It can show a complex mass filled with fluid in the pelvis or abdomen.

Step-by-step explanation:

The imaging modality of choice for TOA (Tubo-Ovarian Abscess) is ultrasound (c).

An ultrasound can produce images of the pelvis and abdomen and can show a complex mass filled with fluid, which is characteristic of a TOA.

Ultrasound technology is non-invasive and does not use electromagnetic radiation, making it a preferred imaging modality for TOA.
