[Vaginal sonography: a screening method for early detection of ovarian tumors and endometrial cancers?]
Abstract:
In total we performed a vaginosonographic measurement of 212 patients with or without a postmenopausal bleeding. Altogether 424 ovaries were sonographically examined. An endometrial thickness greater than 4 mm was histologically clarified by means of a curettage and all detectable ovarian tumors by means of a laparotomia. In total we found seven asymptomatic endometrial carcinomas, one cervical carcinoma and two ovarian cancers. The vaginosonography showed to be a very sensitive and acceptable method for the early detection of postmenopausal ovarian and endometrial tumors.

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...
