Transvaginal ultrasonography offers superior pelvic imaging detail and patient comfort. This review highlights its established roles in early pregnancy and infertility, with emerging potential in gynecologic oncology.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS) provides higher resolution imaging of pelvic structures compared to transabdominal ultrasound due to higher frequency probes (5-7.5 MHz).
  • Patient acceptability for TVUS is excellent, enhancing diagnostic capabilities.
  • Established applications include early pregnancy assessment and infertility treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the major clinical applications of transvaginal ultrasonography based on recent literature.
  • To explore recent advances and future directions in obstetrics and gynecology using TVUS.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent studies on transvaginal ultrasonography.
  • Analysis of clinical applications in obstetrics and gynecology.

Main Results:

  • TVUS is a well-established diagnostic tool for early pregnancy complications and infertility management.
  • Recent advancements show promise in other obstetrics and gynecologic fields, though further research is required.
  • Color Doppler mapping and Doppler spectral analysis demonstrate significant potential in gynecologic oncology.

Conclusions:

  • Transvaginal ultrasonography is a valuable imaging modality in obstetrics and gynecology.
  • Its role is firmly established in early pregnancy and infertility, with expanding applications.
  • Doppler techniques in TVUS offer promising avenues for gynecologic cancer diagnosis and management.
