PELVIC SONOGRAM SKIN

Transabdominal (through your abdomen). The conductive gel is used to place a transducer on the abdomen.One or both of the following methods can be used to perform a pelvic ultrasound: It shows the direction and speed of blood flow through certain pelvic organs. Doppler ultrasound is audible, unlike a standard ultrasound.

Doppler ultrasound (sometimes called a duplex exam) is another type of ultrasound. To ensure the smoothest sound conduction, an ultrasound gel is applied to the transducer and skin. Transducers translate different types of tissue by translating the speed at which sound waves are sent back to them and how much. For example, bone tissue is faster than air tissue. The speed at which sound waves travel depends on the tissue they are passing through.

PELVIC SONOGRAM SKIN

The ultrasound transducer is applied to the skin and the sound waves travel through the body to the structures and organs. The sound waves bounce off organs as an echo, and then return to the transducer. The reflected waves are processed by the transducer, and then converted into images of the tissues or organs being examined.

Ultrasound uses a transducer to send out waves at a frequency that is too high for people to hear. A pelvic ultrasound, is a non-invasive diagnostic exam, produces images that can be used to evaluate organs and structures in the female pelvis. A pelvic ultrasound is a quick way to visualize the female pelvic organs, structures, and vaginal structures, including the uterus and cervix.
