Diagnosis of endometriosis according to TVS may be an appropriate alternative method for laparoscopy. Hence in this study, the role of TVS was investigated compared with laparoscopic assessment in cases with pelvic endometriosis attending to imaging center of Imam-Khomeini and Yas Hospital in Tehran in 2018. In this diagnostic study, 69 patients with pelvic endometriosis were assessed. The results of TVS were compared with laparoscopic assessment, and the sensitivity, specificity, and congruence rate were determined. According to the obtained results, it may be concluded that most sensitivity of TVS is related to the torus uterinus and dome of the bladder. Also, the most specificity is related to bladder, sigmoid colon, and peritoneal cyst. The most congruence rate between U/S and laparoscopy is at bladder trigon and sigmoid colon. However, in the end, multicenter studies with more cases and comparisons with the results of other diagnostic methods are recommended to achieve more accurate results.

Background and Objective: To evaluate the clinical course and CT findings of pregnant womenMethods: Fourthy (25 pregnant and 15 non-pregnant) patients were entered to the study. Chest CT features and clinical findings were evaluated between two groups. Data related to pregnancy and fetal status evaluated in the pregnant group.Result: The average age of pregnant patients was 33.1±5.75 years and the non-pregnant group was 35.4±6.88 years. The gestational age ranged from 7 weeks to 39weeks+2days (mean =31weeks+5days). No significant difference was seen between the two groups about clinical findings except the duration of symptoms before CT which was more in pregnant patients (6.71 ± 5.5 days vs 3.53 ± 1.92 days). Two mortalities in pregnant and one in non-pregnant patients , 2(8%) cases of premature rupture of membranes (PROM), 3 (12%) cases of intra-uterine fetal death (IUFD), 3 (12%) cases of fetal distress and 2 (8%) cases of IUGR in pregnant group. Fifteen pregnant patients gave birth .No positive PCR result was detected in newborns. Unlike the control group, the common CT findings were ground-glass pattern.Conclusion: In summary, although we found the clinical findings in pregnant and control group were similar but pattern of CT involvement was different in pregnant patients and rate of ICU admission and mortality rate were more than control group. This viral pneumonia was associated with some important complications such as IUFD in severely involved mothers. CT could be an efficient tool for the early detection and severity assessment in the pregnant patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.

Background & Objective: Sacrococcygeal teratomas (SCTs) are uncommon germ cell tumors with significant perinatal and postnatal mortality and morbidity rate.
Case Report: We present a case of large fast growing (86x63mm) mostly cystic SCT in a 27-year-old woman with 23 weeks of gestational age and normal first trimester ultrasound exam. The fetus was evaluated by both magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasonography.
Conclusion: Findings regarding tumor location, size, and content were similar for both sonography and MRI methods, though vascular pattern was detected with higher accuracy and more details by sonography. Meanwhile, MRI provided more appropriate information about tumor effects on surrounding tissue and conus location.
