GYNECOLOGIC PROCEDURES

GYNECOLOGIC ULTRASOUND

This imaging modality uses low-energy, high-frequency sound waves.

Transvaginal    transducers are utilized    for lower   pelvic  masses, producing

high-resolution images  that    are not influenced  by  the thickness   of  the

maternal    abdominal   wall.

Transabdominal  transducers provide images  throughout  the entire  pelvis  as

well    as  abdomen.

Ultrasound  works   best    when    adjacent    tissues have    differing   echodensities,

particularly    fluid/tissue    interfaces.
