title: Transvaginal ultrasonography.
abstract: Transvaginal ultrasonography is an adjunct to abdominal ultrasonography. It is indicated for investigation of suspected abnormalities of the ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus, and can provide better resolution than traditional views of this anatomic region. Transvaginal ultrasonography is particularly useful in diagnosing ectopic pregnancy.
