Uterine Programme

Learn to assess the endometrium using IETA and MUSA terminology, evaluate vascularity, and assess intracavity lesions.

IETA

What's in the Uterine programme?

The IETA Programme provides structured, on-demand training to standardize ultrasound assessment of the endometrium.

It teaches consistent use of IETA terminology for describing endometrial thickness, vascularity, and focal lesions, and integrates sonohysterography and cancer risk assessment methods.

The course prepares participants for the IETA/MUSA Certification in Uterine Ultrasound.

Programme Modules

Basics of Endometrial Assessment

Module 1 – Describing the Endometrium Using IETA Terminology

Prof Thierry Van den Bosch explains how to describe and measure the endometrium according to IETA standards. Includes examples on thickness, echogenicity, and contour assessment.

 Assessment of Endometrial Vascularity

Module 2 – Describing Vascularity of the Endometrium Using Colour Doppler

Prof Van den Bosch, Dr Yvette S. Groszmann, and Dr Christine De Bruyn illustrate how to evaluate vascular patterns and identify focal lesions with colour Doppler.

Sonohysterography

Module 3 – Use of Sonohysterography to Aid the Diagnosis of Intracavity Lesions

Dr Christine De Bruyn and Dr Ohad Rotenberg demonstrate how fluid instillation sonography helps detect and characterize intracavity pathology such as polyps or submucous fibroids.

 Intracavity Lesions

Module 4 – Describing Intracavity Lesions Using IETA Terminology

Dr Christine De Bruyn and Dr Ruben Heremans show how to measure and describe intracavity lesions using standardized IETA terminology to ensure consistent reporting.

Endometrial Malignancy

Module 5 – Ultrasonographic Evaluation of Endometrial Cancer

Prof Thierry Van den Bosch, Dr Juan Luis Alcazar, Dr Jen Barcroft, and Dr George Lockett discuss ultrasound features suspicious for malignancy and explore emerging radiomics applications.
