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 ...
This examines for free fluid around the kidney and liver. Left Upper Quadrant of the abdomen (Perisplenic view). Left upper quadrant is examined by working your probe down the midaxillary line starting at the left 8th rib to the 11th rib. This examines for free fluid around the kidney and spleen. Pelvic views (Long and transverse axis).
This procedure is performed when intra-abdominal bleeding (hemoperitoneum), usually secondary to trauma, is suspected. [2]In a hemodynamically unstable patient with high-risk mechanism of injury, peritoneal lavage is a means of rapidly diagnosing intra-abdominal injury requiring laparotomy, but has largely been replaced in trauma care by the use of a focused assessment with sonography for ...
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]
Many small cysts occur in both ovaries in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). [1] Pelvic inflammatory disease may also result in cysts. [1] Rarely, cysts may be a form of ovarian cancer. [1] Diagnosis is undertaken by pelvic examination with a pelvic ultrasound or other testing used to gather further details. [1] Often, cysts are simply observed ...
Ultrasound screening provides a detailed view of the ovaries, identifying morphologic changes as potential signs of malignancy. Key diagnostic factors include the presence of abnormalities, ovarian size, blood flow, and abdominal/pelvic fluid. The persistence of abnormalities after four to six weeks may decrease the occurrence of false positives.
The fluid consists of cervical and endometrial mucus or in rare instances urine accumulated through a vesicovaginal fistula proximal to the obstruction. In some cases, it is associated with Bardet-Biedl Syndrome. [1] If it occurs in prepubertal girls, it may show up as abdominal swelling. It may be detected by using ultrasound.
An inflated bulb of the catheter prevents leakage of fluid outside uterine cavity. By visualizing the flow of saline along the tube and observing it as a shower at fimbrial end, tubal patency can be tested. Presence of free fluid in pouch of Douglas also confirms tubal patency.
