·         Intrauterine contraceptive devices- High amplitude echoes in the uterine cavity which remain at low gain setting with entrance and exit echoes giving a parallel appearance are seen in 65% of cases, ± distal acousting shadowing. Configuration of the ech reflects the type of IUCD. Women with an IUCD in situ who becocome pregnant are at increased risk of ectopic pregnancy.

·         Radiation therapy implants- These may cause high intensity wchoes within the uterine cavity which may shadow. History of implant insertion may be obtained.

 

·         Air within the uterine cavity- This usually follows dilatation and currentage or culdocentesis.

 

·         Cerclage sutures- They may mimic IUCDs; an obvious history may be obtained.
