Transabdominal Ultrasound. A transabdominal ultrasound is used to look at the pelvic organs. Gel is placed on your abdomen. Then a small, handheld unit called a transducer is gently moved around to view the pelvic organs. The transducer sound waves make a picture on the TV screen.
The two methods of pelvic ultrasound are: 1  Transabdominal (through the abdomen): A transducer is placed on the abdomen using the conductive gel. 2  Transvaginal (through the vagina): A long, thin transducer is covered with the conducting gel and a plastic/latex sheath and is inserted into the vagina.
