Fibroids playing Mickey mouse

These are images of double fibroids that mimic the ears of a mouse with the face being the body of the uterus.

Pinna of fetal ear

The pinna of the ear is seen very nicely in these sonographic images of the fetal head. Images courtesy of Dr. Ravi Kadasne, UAE.

Static B-mode scanning machines

These are relics of a bygone era-- the ultrasound scan probes or scan heads of B-mode static scanning machines, probably of the early 1970s. These snaps by Mr. Shlomo Gobi, sonographer, from Israel, show that these probes were screwed onto the bulky, articulated arms of the early machines.
