The development of transvaginal ultrasound scanning (TVS) continues to revolutionise the diagnosis and management of gynaecological pathology. As well as providing assessment of pelvic morphology, high resolution dynamic imaging enables assessment of pelvic mobility that is not possible with other imaging modalities such as MRI. As an intimate examination, it is paramount that operators strive […]

Ultrasound, chiefly transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS), is the preferred imaging modality for assessing female pelvic anatomy, making it an important gynaecological investigation. TVUS is unique in that it acts not only as an imaging modality but as a dynamic examination, and as such many findings cannot be determined from stored static images alone. This means, more […]
