Ultrasound evaluates blood vessels at risk for aneurysm (ballooning) or stenosis (abnormal narrowing).

The transvaginal ultrasound uses a specially designed transducer, which is approximately the size of a tampon, that can be inserted vaginally to evaluate uterus, ovaries and bladder.
Transvaginal ultrasound can help determine the cause of pain or bleeding in women’s reproductive organs. This test often provides better resolution images than traditional ultrasound and are used in early pregnancies or for pelvic procedures.
