Description: Transabdominal (TAS) and transvaginal (TVS) ultrasounds are specialized tests used to examine the pelvic region. TAS involves placing a probe on the abdomen, while TVS involves a small probe being gently inserted into the vagina for a detailed view of the uterus and ovaries.
Purpose: These ultrasounds help in assessing the structure and health of the reproductive organs, including the uterus and ovaries. They are often used to monitor pregnancies and investigate pelvic pain or irregular menstrual cycles.
