  2. Gynecologic ultrasonography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gynecologic_ultrasonography

    Gynecologic ultrasonography or gynecologic sonography refers to the application of medical ultrasonography to the female pelvic organs (specifically the uterus, the ovaries, and the fallopian tubes) as well as the bladder, the adnexa, and the recto-uterine pouch. The procedure may lead to other medically relevant findings in the pelvis.This ...

  3. Vaginal ultrasonography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaginal_ultrasonography

    Vaginal ultrasonography is a medical ultrasonography that applies an ultrasound transducer (or "probe") in the vagina to visualize organs within the pelvic cavity. It is also called transvaginal ultrasonography because the ultrasound waves go across the vaginal wall to study tissues beyond it. [1]

  4. Obstetric ultrasonography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obstetric_ultrasonography

    The International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG) recommends that pregnant women have routine obstetric ultrasounds between 18 weeks' and 22 weeks' gestational age (the anatomy scan) in order to confirm pregnancy dating, to measure the fetus so that growth abnormalities can be recognized quickly later in pregnancy ...

  5. Medical ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_ultrasound

    Medical ultrasound includes diagnostic techniques (mainly imaging techniques) using ultrasound, as well as therapeutic applications of ultrasound. In diagnosis, it is used to create an image of internal body structures such as tendons, muscles, joints, blood vessels, and internal organs, to measure some characteristics (e.g., distances and velocities) or to generate an informative audible sound.

  6. XX gonadal dysgenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XX_gonadal_dysgenesis

    [34] [35] Imaging can include a pelvic ultrasound or MRI, which would reveal normal internal genitalia such as a uterus but with streak gonads, which can be small and thus not easily visualized. [36] Genetic testing involves chromosomal analysis via karyotype to confirm XX chromosomes, rather than XO or XY as discussed in related syndromes above.

  7. Abdominal ultrasonography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdominal_ultrasonography

    The imaging occurs real-time and without sedation, so that the influence of movements can be assessed quickly. For example, by pressing the ultrasound probe against the gallbladder, a radiological Murphy's sign can be elicited. Through the abdominal wall, organs inside the pelvis can be seen, such as the urinary bladder or the ovaries and ...

  8. Theca lutein cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theca_lutein_cyst

    Theca lutein cysts are detected and diagnosed during a pelvic examination followed by a thorough evaluation. The evaluation includes a collection of the person's age, family history, and previous histories of ovarian or breast cancers. A full physical examination is performed to check for tenderness, peritoneal signs, and a frozen pelvis. [7]

  9. Retroverted uterus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retroverted_uterus

    Retroverted uterus; Other names: Tipped uterus: A transvaginal ultrasound showing a retroverted uterus during pregnancy. The cervix lies posteriorly to the urinary bladder, and the uterus normally extends superiorly from it, but the direction of the body of the fetus reveals that the uterus extends backwards.
