Gyn sonography is used extensively:

• in the assessment of pelvic organs,
• in the diagnosis and follow-up management of gynecologic problems including endometriosis,leiomyoma, adenomyosis, ovarian cysts and lesions,
• dans l’identification de masses annexes, incluant les grossesses extra-utérines
• dans le diagnostic de cancers gynécologiques
• in infertility treatments to track the response of ovarian follicles to fertility medication (i.e. Pergonal).

Through transvaginal sonography ovarian cysts can be aspirated. This technique is used to obtain human eggs (oocytes) through sonographic directed transvaginal puncture of ovarian follicles in IVF.

Sonohysterography is a specialiced procedure by which fluid, usually sterile saline, is installed into the uterine cavity, and gyn sonography performed at the same time. The procedure delineates intrauterine pathology such as polyps, Asherman's syndrome, or submucous leiomyoma.
