Transabdominal ultrasound of the female pelvis has been compared with transvaginal ultrasound, using a 7.5 MHz transducer, in 80 women. Transvaginal ultrasound required less patient time and was preferred in 56% of patients. Image quality was superior in 72% of cases, and visualisation of the pelvic organs was equivalent with each technique. Transabdominal ultrasound gives a more global view of the pelvis, and is of more value in assessing large pelvic masses. Transvaginal ultrasound is of more value in assessing early pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy, ovarian abnormalities, and for visualising the ovaries following hysterectomy.
在80名女性中，使用7.5兆赫的探头，对经腹女性盆腔超声与经阴道超声进行了比较。经阴道超声所需的检查时间较短，56%的患者更喜欢这种检查方式。在72%的病例中，经阴道超声的图像质量更佳，两种检查技术对盆腔器官的可视化效果相当。经腹超声能更全面地观察盆腔，在评估较大盆腔肿块时更具价值。经阴道超声在评估早期妊娠、异位妊娠、卵巢异常以及子宫切除术后观察卵巢方面更具价值。
