Overview
Ultrasonography, although not the most sensitive or specific imaging modality, is commonly the primary type of imaging done for patients with dysfunctional uterine bleeding. Transvaginal ultrasounds are more accurate compared to pelvic ultrasound, but pelvic ultrasound reveals certain pathologies, including uterine and adnexal masses, more clearly. Ultrasonography is a simple and easily available diagnostic method for PCOS.
