The Role of Ultrasound in Gynaecology

The introduction of ultrasound into medicine and specifically into gynaecology has been an important development in the diagnosis and management of many common gynaecological disorders. Its use has revolutionized the management of problems in early pregnancy, decreased the need for more invasive procedures in women with postmenopausal and dysfunctional uterine bleeding, and allowed significant advances in the management of infertility. An ultrasound examination of the pelvis is one of the most commonly used interventions in gynaecology, both in non-pregnant and pregnant women. © 2012 John Wiley and Sons, Ltd..
