A transabdominal pelvic ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging test that uses sound waves to produce detailed images of the pelvic organs. This procedure is performed externally on the abdomen and evaluates the uterus, ovaries, bladder, and surrounding tissues.
A transabdominal pelvic ultrasound is a valuable tool for diagnosing and monitoring a range of pelvic and reproductive health concerns. However, its scope may be complemented by a transvaginal scan when a closer or more detailed view is required.
