Abdominal Pelvic Ultrasound: An In-depth Overview

Abdominal pelvic ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure used to capture images of the organs and structures in the abdomen and pelvis. It uses high-frequency sound waves that echo when they hit a dense object, like an organ or a fetus. These echoes are converted into video or photographic images.

Real Life Example

Consider a pregnant woman who goes for her regular prenatal checkup. Her doctor, to monitor the development of the fetus and check for any abnormalities, may recommend an abdominal pelvic ultrasound. The procedure allows the doctor to view the baby’s position, movement, and heartbeat. It can also help identify the baby’s gender, estimate the due date, and detect any pregnancy complications.

Similar Applications

Besides prenatal care, abdominal pelvic ultrasound is also used to diagnose conditions related to the liver, kidneys, bladder, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, and large blood vessels of the abdomen. It can help identify issues like kidney stones, liver disease, tumors, and many other conditions.
