Endovaginal Ultrasound

by Steven R. Goldstein (Editor)

A solid, comprehensive introduction to endovaginal ultrasound for the sonographer, radiologist and specialist in obstetrics and gynecology. Shows the experienced ultrasound imager how to incorporate the vaginal probe into overall diagnostic capabilities. Beginning with a description of normal pelvic anatomy, it goes on to describe several conditions in the pelvic area: pelvic masses, pregnancy and ovulation. Chapters on pregnancy cover the embryo, fetus, detection of fetal anomalies and the use of ultrasound prior to first-trimester termination. There is an updated and expanded chapter on infertility and assisted reproductive technologies as well as a chapter on the postmenopausal use of ultrasound. Concludes by describing how the practitioner can incorporate endovaginal ultrasound into routine pelvic examinations.
