A transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) is an efficient imaging tool in the “one-stop” investigation of subfertility. A comprehensive evaluation of the structure of ovarian, uterine, and tubal patency can provide immediate information in the evaluation and thus counseling of the patient. Improvements in ultrasound technology allow for a detailed assessment of the ovary, and an estimation of ovarian functional status. The use of three-dimensional volume sets allows for the acquisition of hundreds of images of the uterine contour, and thus detection of the presence of mullerian anomalies, intracavitary filling defects, and myometrial pathology. A TVS is essential in the provision of early pregnancy care. |
