Transvaginal sonography offers superior imaging resolution by avoiding interfering structures. This review details its techniques, compares transducers, and discusses safety for fetal imaging.

Area of Science:

  • Medical imaging
  • Gynecologic ultrasonography
  • Obstetric ultrasonography

Background:

  • Transabdominal sonography is limited by intervening structures.
  • Transvaginal sonography offers potential for improved image quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and compare transvaginal and transabdominal transducers.
  • To outline sagittal and coronal views in transvaginal sonography.
  • To discuss advantages, disadvantages, and safety of transvaginal sonography.

Main Methods:

  • Description and comparison of transvaginal and transabdominal transducer technology.
  • Explanation of imaging planes (sagittal, coronal) specific to transvaginal approach.

Main Results:

  • Transvaginal sonography provides enhanced resolution and image clarity.
  • Identification of specific advantages and disadvantages compared to transabdominal approach.
  • Consideration of safety implications due to reduced attenuation path to the fetus.

Conclusions:

  • Transvaginal sonography is a valuable tool for improved gynecologic and obstetric imaging.
  • Understanding its technical aspects and safety profile is crucial for effective clinical application.
