  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. Pelvimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelvimetry

    Pelvimetry is the measurement of the female pelvis. [1] It can theoretically identify cephalo-pelvic disproportion, which is when the capacity of the pelvis is inadequate to allow the fetus to negotiate the birth canal. However, clinical evidence indicate that all pregnant women should be allowed a trial of labor regardless of pelvimetry ...

    The newer integrated screen (formerly called F.A.S.T.E.R for First And Second Trimester Early Results) can be done at 10 plus weeks to 13 plus weeks with an ultrasound of the fetal neck (thicker nuchal skin correlates with higher risk of Down syndrome being present) and two chemicals (analytes), pregnancy-associated plasma protein A and human ...

  5. Magnetic resonance imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_imaging

    Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to form pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes inside the body. MRI scanners use strong magnetic fields , magnetic field gradients, and radio waves to generate images of the organs in the body.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelvic_examination

    A pelvic examination is the physical examination of the external and internal female pelvic organs. [1] It is frequently used in gynecology for the evaluation of symptoms affecting the female reproductive and urinary tract , such as pain, bleeding, discharge, urinary incontinence , or trauma (e.g. sexual assault).

    The cervix is the neck of the uterus, the lower, narrow portion where it joins with the upper part of the vagina. It is cylindrical or conical in shape and protrudes through the upper anterior vaginal wall. Approximately half its length is visible, the remainder lies above the vagina beyond view.

  8. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion-weighted...

    Diffusion imaging is an MRI method that produces in vivo magnetic resonance images of biological tissues sensitized with the local characteristics of molecular diffusion, generally water (but other moieties can also be investigated using MR spectroscopic approaches). [15]

  9. Interventional radiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interventional_radiology

    A number of diagnostic tests can be performed through minimally invasive methods, to determine whether a patient's chronic pelvic pain is a result of pelvic varicose veins. These tests include: Pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound; Pelvic venogram; Computed tomography (CT) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
