Pelvic Ultrasound

The use of transvaginal Pelvic Ultrasound for the ultra-early diagnosis of ovarian cancer is proven.

Although 1 in 100 women will get this dreaded disease (with well over 50% mortality because usually it is diagnosed too late), because of "cost effectiveness" reasons, health plans and physicians do not routinely screen for ovarian cancer with the only reliable and specific early-diagnosis method: two-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound of the ovaries and surrounding structures.

This evaluation, similar to a "pelvic exam with an eye", takes typically only 5-10 minutes, is not uncomfortable and does not require a full bladder. Dr. Goodman has over 18 years of experience with endovaginal pelvic ultrasound and utilizes a Siemens Sonoline with switchable, steerable (comfortable!) 5.0/6.5/7.5 mHz probe-- in the office at the same time as the pelvic exam.
