Pelvis Sonography

A noninvasive diagnostic procedure termed a pelvic ultrasound creates images that are used to evaluate the organs and tissues in the female pelvis. The uterus, cervix, vagina, fallopian tubes, and ovaries are among the female pelvic organs and tissues that can be quickly seen with a pelvic ultrasonography.

A transducer that produces ultrasonic waves at a frequency that is too high to be heard is used in ultrasound technology. After applying the ultrasound transducer to the skin, the organs and internal structures of the body are reached by the ultrasonic waves. Like an echo, the sound waves return to the transducer after bouncing off the organs. After the reflected waves are processed by the transducer, a computer creates an image of the organs or tissues under examination.
