Overview
Transvaginal ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of chlamydia infection when pelvic inflammatory disease has occurred. Ultrasound findings suggestive of pelvic inflammatory disease include thickened/dilated fallopian tubes, incomplete septa in the fallopian tube, increased vascularity around the fallopian tubes, and the cogwheel sign.[1]
