About The Test
US Pelvis Special Study Overview
The US Pelvis Special Study is a specific ultrasound exam that captures the organs and structures within the pelvis in detail. This study has a wide range of applications, including diagnosis and follow-up of the conditions affecting the region of pelvis, which includes uterus, ovaries, and prostate gland.
What is US Pelvis Special Study?
The US Pelvis Special Study is an ultrasound imaging test that is done remotely. It captures images of the organs and structures located within the pelvis using high-frequency sound waves. During the test, a specialized device called a transducer is placed on the skin over the pelvic region. This device emits sound waves above the zone of hearing, which bounce off the internal organs and structures and are transformed into detailed images.
Types of US Pelvis Special Study
The US Pelvis Special Study has two categories:
• Transabdominal ultrasound – involves a transducer instrument put on the abdomen to generate pictures of pelvic organs.
• Transvaginal ultrasound – transducer is placed into vagina to generate detailed pictures of the female reproductive organs.
