Donald School Textbook of Transvaginal Sonography

by Asim Kurjak, Jose Bajo Arenas

This book represents the current knowledge on one of the newest achievements in obstetric and gynecologic ultrasonography, transvaginal sonography. The sophisticated ultrasound imaging technique of transvaginal ultrasound has become available for both obstetricians and gynecologists. Today, many types of transvaginal probe exist which are designed with adequate shape and high frequency of ultrasound. Accordingly high quality of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) images of the uterus, ovaries or the early conceptus in the uterus can be obtained through the vaginal fornix, even though with some limitations like a narrow view field of the image. The most exciting recent developments are color Doppler and transvaginal sonography. The combination of these two modalities in the same vaginal probe provides for superb simultaneous visualization of structural and flow information and offers new insight into dynamic studies of blood flow within the female pelvis. The book also comprises by the most sophisticated techniques and equipment currently available.
