It appears you may be referring to “Interventional Transvaginal Sonography” (TVS). Transvaginal sonography is an imaging technique that involves using sound waves to create images of the pelvic organs, and the term “interventional” suggests that a procedure or intervention is being performed using this imaging modality.
Here are a few possibilities for interventions that may involve Transvaginal Sonography:
Ovarian Cyst Aspiration:
As mentioned earlier, this procedure involves using a needle to drain fluid from an ovarian cyst. Transvaginal sonography can guide the needle placement.
Oocyte Retrieval during IVF:
In IVF, transvaginal sonography is commonly used to guide the needle during oocyte retrieval. This provides real-time imaging to locate and aspirate the follicles containing eggs.
Biopsy or Aspiration of Pelvic Masses:
Transvaginal sonography may be used to guide procedures such as biopsies or aspirations of pelvic masses or abnormalities.
Placement of Intrauterine Devices (IUDs):
During the placement of intrauterine devices, transvaginal sonography can be used to guide the correct positioning of the device.
Monitoring of Fertility Treatments:
Transvaginal sonography is commonly used to monitor the development of ovarian follicles during fertility treatments and to guide interventions if necessary.
