Overview
A pelvic ultrasound is a helpful procedure for diagnosing PID. Transvaginal ultrasonography may reveal thickened or fluid fill fallopian tubes.
Ultrasound
- Pelvic ultrasonography, consisting of transabdominal combined with transvaginal ultrasonography, is usually the imaging modality of choice because of a lack of radiation exposure and high sensitivity.
- An ultrasound can view the pelvic area to see whether the fallopian tubes are enlarged or whether an abscess is present.
- Ultrasound is helpful to rule out other differential diagnosis such as ectopic pregnancy, complicated ovarian cyst or appendicitis.[1][2]
- Doppler ultrasound is helpful to show hyperemia as a sign of inflammation and rule out ovarian torsion.
