However, the fetal bony pelvis can impair visualization of the fetal pelvic organs on transabdominal ultrasound. Here, we describe the application of high-resolution transvaginal three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound of the fetal pelvis in the diagnosis of anal atresia at 18 weeks of gestation....
This type looks at your organs from outside your pelvis. Pregnancy ultrasound. This is similar to an abdominal ultrasound except that it looks at a baby inside your uterus. Transrectal ultrasound. This type looks inside your rectum. It's often used to look at your prostate. Transvaginal ...

Penetration decreases with increased frequency Low frequency (1 MHz to 6 MHz): Deep Structures Transabdominal: 3.5 Mhz to 5.0 Mhz Transvaginal: 5.0 Mhz to 7.5 Mhz High Frequency (7 MHz to 13 MHz): Superficial Structures Piezoelectric crystal ...
A transvaginal ultrasound (TV-US) provides superior detail in images of pelvic structures. When TV-US is performed on a patient whose pelvic structures are within the bony pelvis, pelvic echography using an abdominal approach is duplicative of the TV-US. Related Policies For Aetna’s policy on...
For transvaginal evaluation, the urinary bladder should be emptied and the patient placed in a comfortable position but with her pelvis tilted either with the use of stirrups or by the placement of padding under the patient to elevate the hips. The patient or the sonographer, depending upon the...
