A Guide to Gynaecological Ultrasound

Gynaecological ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of the uterus, ovaries and surrounding pelvic structures. It is a safe, commonly used test that does not involve radiation.

Types of gynaecological ultrasound

• Pelvic (transabdominal) ultrasound – performed over the lower abdomen.
• Transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) – gives a closer, more detailed view of the pelvic organs; 3D TVS is available when indicated.

Your doctor will advise which type of scan is most suitable for you.
