Transvaginal Ultrasound, Contrast-Infusion Sonography, and 3-D Gynecologic Ultrasound

Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) has become the "Gold Standard" for evaulating the uterus and ovaries in an office setting. It is accurate, quick, safe, painless, and inexpensive when compared to MRI or CT scans.

Since TVUS does not require you to have a full bladder (transabdominal ultrasound does), it is much more comfortable. Because it looks through the vagina (instead of the abdomen, bladder, and bowel), the image is more detailed and accurate. Often, abnormalities can be seen by TVUS that are not identifiable by pelvic examination.

We have performed over 100,000 TVUS examinations over the last 10 years. Each procedure has been done by Dr. Johns or one of his highly skilled Infertility Coordinators, giving us an unequalled body of experience in interpreting what we see during the scans. The addition of Color Doppler has greatly enhanced our diagnostic efficiency.

We perform TVUS in the same rooms where examinations take place, you are not sent to another floor, building, or office for your procedure. TVUS findings are immediately correlated with the pelvic examination and there is no wait for the procedure or interpretation.

We have recently added contrast-infusion sonography (CIS) and 3-D gynecologic ultrasound capabilities at both of our offices.

We offer this service at both of our locations.
