Gynecologic / pelvic ultrasound

A Gynecologic / Pelvic Ultrasound is the preferred imaging modality in the study of the female pelvis, and provides important information in detecting and characterizing pelvic masses of uterine, ovarian, or adnexal origin. In patients with abnormal bleeding, transvaginal ultrasound helps in determining the presence of structural changes of the endometrium. Ultrasound plays a very important role in the evaluation of patients with acute pelvic pain. It allows identification of ovarian torsion, suspected ectopic pregnancy, ovarian cysts, and other pelvic conditions.
