A pelvic ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that uses sound waves to create images for evaluating the organs and tissues in the female pelvis. This technique allows for a quick and detailed view of the uterus, cervix, vagina, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. Pelvic ultrasound provides valuable insights into these organs and tissues, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Ultrasound technology utilizes a transducer that emits ultrasonic waves at a frequency too high for human hearing. When the ultrasound transducer is applied to the skin, these waves penetrate the body, reaching internal organs and structures. The waves then bounce back, like echoes, off the organs and return to the transducer. These reflected waves are processed by the transducer and a computer, which then generates an image of the examined organs or tissues.
