Types of Sonography:

1. Abdominal Sonography: Abdominal sonography is a commonly performed procedure to examine organs within the abdomen, including the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and abdominal aorta. It is used to diagnose and monitor various conditions such as liver disease, gallstones, pancreatitis, abdominal masses, and kidney stones.

    

2. Pelvic Sonography: Pelvic sonography is used to visualize the organs and structures within the pelvis, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder, and prostate gland. It is an essential tool in the diagnosis and management of gynecological and urological conditions such as pelvic inflammatory disease, ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, prostate enlargement, and bladder tumors.

    

3. Transabdominal Sonography: Transabdominal Sonography Involves Placing the ultrasound probe directly on the skin surface of the abdomen. It is commonly used for initial screenings and assessments of abdominal and pelvic organs. This approach provides a broad overview of the abdominal and pelvic structures and is often the first step in diagnosing various conditions.

    

4. Transvaginal Sonography: Transvaginal sonography is a specialized technique that involves inserting a probe into the vagina to obtain high-resolution images of the pelvic organs, particularly the uterus and ovaries. This approach offers better visualization and detail, making it particularly useful in evaluating gynecological issues such as infertility, abnormal bleeding, and pelvic pain.

    

5. Transrectal Sonography: Transrectal sonography is performed by inserting a probe into the rectum to visualize the structures in the pelvic region, including the prostate gland and surrounding tissues. It is commonly used in the diagnosis and staging of prostate cancer, as well as evaluating benign prostatic hyperplasia and other rectal or pelvic abnormalities.
