Pelvic Ultrasound

 

What is a Pelvic Ultrasound?


A Pelvic ultrasound uses reflected sound waves to produce images of the lower abdominal structures and organs. Organs that are clearly depicted on a pelvic ultrasound are solid or fluid-filled (for example the female uterus). A pelvic ultrasound can be done in three different ways, transabdominal, transrectal, or transvaginal, and looks at the following:

  • Female Ovaries
  • Female Uterus
  • Female Cervix
  • Female Fallopian tubes
