Ultrasonography Q & A

What is ultrasonography?

Ultrasonography is another term for an ultrasound, a diagnostic imaging study that uses high-frequency sound waves and their echoes to create images of your internal organs. Dr. Williamson uses ultrasonography to examine your uterus, ovaries, bladder, and other pelvic organs to diagnose medical conditions such as endometriosis and uterine fibroids.

In many cases, Dr. Williamson uses a transvaginal ultrasound to get clear images of your reproductive organs. Transvaginal ultrasounds work the same way as external ultrasounds, but your technician inserts a smaller transducer wand into your vagina instead of moving a wand over your abdomen.

The ultrasound equipment and computer convert the sound waves into images that Dr. Williamson can study on a video screen. Dr. Williamson uses these images to diagnose:

Fibroids and polyps
Scar tissue
Abnormal endometrial lining
Fallopian tube blockages

Ultrasound technology is a helpful tool in diagnosing pelvic pain or heavy bleeding. Call Williamson Gynecology to schedule your ultrasonography appointment today.
