Gynecological – Pelvic Ultrasound

What is it?

Gynecological (or pelvic) ultrasound makes it possible to assess the organs of the pelvis – the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes, among other tissue structures.

Gynecological ultrasound can be performed supra-pubically, where the probe is placed on the abdomen, or endovaginally, where the probe is inserted into the uterine cavity.

Ultrasound uses high-frequency ultrasounds emitted by a probe and transmitted through the tissues that reflect them to form an image of the region being examined.

Pelvic ultrasound is a simple, safe, harmless and painless technique.

Ultrasounds are carried out with the latest technology, on top-of-the-range high-resolution digital ultrasound equipment, including three-dimensional technology and the option of real-time 3D visualization – 4D, Color Doppler, and panoramic imaging.

High-resolution digital ultrasonic consoles are capable of using fully electronic multi-frequency probes.

How is it done?

For the gynecological ultrasound, you will lie on a table in a dimly lit room to make it easier to read the images.

In the case of supra-pubic gynecological ultrasound, a gel will be applied to the skin in the abdominal area to allow the ultrasound to be transmitted.

In endovaginal gynecological ultrasound, the probe is inserted into the uterine cavity.

This scan provides moving images, controlled via a screen.
