Figure 10.  Postmenopausal ovaries identified by means of their ligamentous attachments. CT scan shows that the ovaries (Ov) appear featureless and in an unusual position, anterolateral to the ureter (U) and next to the iliac bone. The ovaries were identified by means of the ligamentous attachment to the uterus, which is known as the utero-ovarian ligament (UOL). The left utero-ovarian ligament is visualized more clearly than the right. The uterus contains leiomyomatous calcifications.
