Pelvic ultrasound (US) scanning, pelvic US imaging, pelvic ultrasonography or sonography.
Ultrasound scans are high frequency sound waves too high for humans to hear. After the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank in 1912, many people researched ways to find underwater icebergs. During this time, SONAR (sound navigation and ranging), which uses ultrasound, was developed.
Ultrasound waves sent to the part of the body being examined are reflected, refracted, or absorbed at the interfaces inside the body. Echoes that return in this way, carry information about the size, distance, and uniformity of internal organs. This is displayed on a monitor to create an ultrasound image.
