Abstract:
For most women, pelvic sonography using a transvaginal probe is the imaging modality of choice for evaluating the uterus and adnexae. It is reliable for detecting ovarian cysts and other adnexal masses, and it can often determine if a lesion can be observed on serial examinations or if it requires more urgent attention. Uterine ultrasound is reliable for evaluating both the normal and abnormal endometrium and myometrium. In cases that are technically limited, or in those that are difficult to interpret, a tailored MR imaging examination often can be helpful.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
