OBGYN Ultrasound Applications

Background, not a buying page

This page gives background on obstetric and gynaecological ultrasound, while the transvaginal probe page is the buying page for the probes themselves. Obstetric ultrasound is used in pregnancy to check the developing fetus, the placenta and the uterus, and gynaecological ultrasound is used to image the pelvic organs, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes and cervix. The source material describes the transvaginal probes on this site as used for pelvic ultrasound imaging assessment in situations such as abnormal uterine bleeding, cysts, tumours, fibroids and pelvic pain. Those are descriptions of intended use, and they do not guarantee a diagnosis in any individual case.

Probe choice in this area

Two probe types matter in this area. A transvaginal probe is used for detailed pelvic imaging, because it sits closer to the pelvic organs and gives a clearer image of them. A convex abdominal probe is used for obstetric imaging and for a broader abdominal view. Many handheld devices combine both in one housing, together with a cardiac element, so one device can cover both approaches. A buyer should confirm the transvaginal frequency and depth for the exact model, because those figures differ between models, and should confirm the cleaning and disinfection requirements for a transvaginal probe, which are stricter than for a surface probe.
