title: New applications of pelvic sonography.
abstract: This review discusses and illustrates the many applications of transvaginal sonography in gynecology. TVS has improved the accuracy of evaluation of pelvic masses and affords a means for accurate guided aspiration. The accuracy of follicular monitoring and aspiration is also enhanced with transvaginal sonography. The possible applications of transvaginal sonography as a means for screening for early ovarian carcinoma is also discussed as well as applications involving evaluation of the uterus and endometrium.
