Description of Women's Imaging
Women’s Ultrasound covers a wide range of diagnostic studies designed to assess reproductive health, hormone‑related conditions, pelvic organs, early pregnancy, and breast symptoms. Ultrasound is the preferred first‑line imaging method because it is safe, painless, and provides real‑time information without radiation.
Common Women’s Imaging studies include:
- Pelvic ultrasound – uterus, ovaries, endometrium
- Early pregnancy scans
- Dating and viability scans
- First trimester & morphology scans
- Ovarian cyst and fibroid assessment
- PCOS assessment
- Fertility & ovulation monitoring
- Endometriosis assessment (preliminary)
- Breast ultrasound (pain, lumps, cysts)
- Abnormal bleeding evaluation
- IUD position checks
- Post‑menopausal symptoms
Pelvic ultrasound may be performed:
- Transabdominally (on the surface of the lower abdomen),
- Transvaginally (internal probe, providing higher detail), or
- Both, depending on the clinical indication.
All scans are performed by experienced sonographers using high‑resolution ultrasound systems to provide clear, reliable diagnostic information.

We will confirm instructions when booking.
What is a transvaginal ultrasound?
It uses a small, internal ultrasound probe for detailed imaging of the uterus and ovaries. It is optional but often recommended for clearer results.
