Re: Fetal tissue densityFrom: viv souter (vsouter@yahoo.com)Thu Oct 31 21:44:49 2002
Hi I am absolutely with you on maternal tissue density: In the Uk there is a large Indian and they seem to have much denser tissue than the British. I think women with PCOS often have particularly dense subcut abdominal fat and I have long wondered if there is a link between dense tissue on ultrasound and PCOS / diabetes Viv Dianne Walkup <diannewalkup@hotmail.com> wrote:Greetings, I am sure I am not the only Sonographer who has realized that there are very predictable tissue density differences in some ethnic groups. The Islanders (Fijis, Hawaiians, Samoans) and my fellow Native Americans have very dense tissue characteristics with ultrasound, no matter what their body size is. Some of the Ethiopian tribes have tissue that is extremely easy to see through, and one could hire them as ultrasound models without regard to their size. I have not worked with very many pediatric patients, but I would wager that this is not an acquired trait, but is hereditary, and thus would be present in fetuses.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
