Would a transvaginal ultrasound see a lost tampon?
A transvaginal ultrasound would not see a lost tampon. Tampons can't get lost in the pelvis. A speculum exam would tell you whether there was a tampon in your vagina.
Why after having a pelvic ultrasound did I need to have a transvaginal ultrasound immediately?
If you are in the early stages of a pregnancy, a transvaginal ultrasound is preferred over a transabdominal ultrasound (scanning through the top of the lower abdomen) because a transvaginal ultrasound provides much more detail and accuracy in assessing a fetus. Early on in pregnancy, the baby is extremely small, only a few millimeters long in the first few weeks. A transvaginal ultrasound will allow the doctor to see the baby's heart beat, even at 5 weeks old in the womb, whereas a transabdominal ultrasound would have an extremely hard time seeing something so tiny. If you are NOT pregnant, and you had t have this type of exam, this is nothing out of he ordinary. Sometimes, during a transabdominal ultrasound, gas from your stomach and bowel can get in the way, making it very hard to see organs such as the uterus and ovaries. If you do not have a full bladder, it will be nearly impossible to obtain medically relevant images through your stomach. A transvaginal ultrasound does not need a full bladder nor does it rely so much on the absence of bowel gas. In this case, it also provides much greater detail than a transabdominal ultrasound.
What would an ultrasound show if you are 4 weeks and 4 days along?
Well I had an ultrasound at 5.5 weeks and it wasn't able to pick up very well so I had to have a transvaginal. It should be able to see it but not very well. Drs recommend waiting until 6 weeks for ultrasound.
Is it ok to eat before transvaginal ultrasound?
Talk with your doctor about any sort of precautionary things they would like for you to keep in mind before conducting a thyroid ultrasound. Typically you can go about your daily routine before the ultrasound, which includes eating. But again, make sure to consult your physician if you have any questions.
Does it make sense that the hospital would do a ct abdomen and ct pelvis and transvaginal ultrasound to diagnose an ovarian cyst?
Hospitals diagnose by process of elimination. They probably had other possibilities they needed to rule out before they could diagnose you with an ovarian cyst.
How much water should you drink before an ultrasound?
Ultrasound uses sound, or more accurately, sound waves or vibrations, to travel through a medium of some sort to image what is within that medium. Not unlike radar, some of the sound waves bounce off of things within that medium allowing them to be seen. In example, the dividing line between muscle and bone can be thought of as an interface, something the sound waves can bounce off of. The change in density from muscle to bone, allows the bone to be image. Most ultrasound systems are designed to work best in water environments. This is because most of the solid parts of a body, including organs, bones, and other things, reside in, or are made up of mostly water. Water can carry sound waves better than air. Therefore, water-favoring ultrasound system can’t image well in air. For a water-based ultrasound system, air can act like a barrier to the sound waves. And, much like a brick wall stops you from seeing what is on the other side of the wall, air can prevent ultrasound from seeing what is there. By drinking water, one reduces the amount of air in the stomach and, therefore, improves the image quality of the ultrasound in that region of your body. However, there are other systems that use sound to image such things as geologic features underground, or things within the air (like the natural imaging bats do using sound). So, what you want to see or image, determines the type of sound-imaging system used.
What machine would require an ultrasound transducer?
An ultrasound machine would require an ultrasound transducer. These are required as they are the part of the machine that delivers the image to the machine.
You want another baby and it would mean having a fourth csection you havent been told you cant have any more would this be ok?
It is a decision only and your doctor can make.
How soon can an ultrasound see a pregnancy sac?
== You can see the hearbeat at your FIRST ultrasound appointment.....it won't look like much, just a bright, very fast flutter on the screen, but alas that is your "little one"! My wife and I saw our baby's heart beat with a transvaginal probe a little less than 4 weeks after conception, which is considered 5-6 weeks gestation.
Can you be pregnant for 41weeks and ultrasound couldn't detect the baby?
No, by that stage in a pregnancy, the baby would be ready to be delievered and would definitely show up on an ultrasound.

What characteristics does a normal eye and orbit ultrasound have?
A normal ultrasound scan would indicate a fully healthy eye. For therapeutic ultrasound, a normal result would be an improvement in the targeted condition, such as shrinking of a tumor or lessening of pressure inside the eye of a.
