Transvaginal sonography with a high-frequency probe, a recent development gaining clinical application, obtains better image resolution of deep pelvic organs. Uses of transvaginal sonography include diagnosis and treatment in gynecology, infertility, and early pregnancy. Acceptance by health-care providers and patients is widespread. Advantages include greater clinical capability, increased efficiency, and reduced costs. The nurse's role in patient education and management is a vital component of the care of the patient undergoing transvaginal sonography.
