Use 5 MHz endocavitary probe (high frequency, low penetration)
Apply surgical lubricant inside and outside probe cover
Place patient in lithotomy position
Gently advance probe into vaginal canal and position adjacent to cervix
May be more comfortable for patient to insert probe into vagina herself
Apply gentle pressure to lower abdominal wall with one hand and manipulate probe with other hand
May be more comfortable for patient to insert probe into vagina herself
Probe marker pointing at 12:00
Shows anterior structures on left side of screen
Begin midline at endometrial stripe
Scan from right to left through uterus
Move probe laterally to view adnexa and ovaries
Rotate probe 90 degrees counterclockwise so probe marker is pointing at 9:00
Shows right-sided structures on left side of screen
Start at endometrial stripe and scan throughout uterus
Locate cornual flare (junction of uterus and fallopian tubes)
Move probe laterally along fallopian tube to locate ovary
Ovaries identified by follicular (anechoic or hypoechoic) structures
Uterus in longitudinal plane






Cornual flare (uterus and fallopian tube junction) in transverse plane






Normal ovary with follicles
Uterus in longitudinal plane
Cornual flare (uterus and fallopian tube junction) in transverse plane
Normal ovary with follicles
