Ovarian Screening Ultrasound Scan
£197
An Ovarian Screening Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging test used to evaluate the structure and appearance of the ovaries and nearby pelvic organs. Here’s what is typically assessed during the scan:
✅ What Will Be Evaluated:
1. Ovarian Size and Shape
- Both ovaries are measured in three dimensions.
- Size changes can indicate potential issues (e.g. enlarged ovaries in PCOS or tumors).
2. Ovarian Volume
Volume is calculated to check for abnormalities—large volumes may suggest cysts, tumors, or other conditions.
3. Ovarian Follicles
- Small fluid-filled sacs (follicles) are assessed, especially relevant in women of reproductive age.
- Helps in assessing fertility and conditions like PCOS.
4. Presence of Ovarian Cysts or Masses
- Type (simple, complex, hemorrhagic, dermoid, etc.)
- Size and internal characteristics (fluid-filled vs solid)
- Wall thickness, septations, calcifications, and blood flow using Doppler.
5. Blood Flow (Doppler Ultrasound)
- Assesses vascularity of any masses or the ovarian tissue itself.
- Helps differentiate benign from potentially malignant masses.
6. Fallopian Tubes (if visible)
May be assessed if dilated or affected (e.g., in cases of hydrosalpinx or ectopic pregnancy).
7. Uterus and Endometrium
Often evaluated at the same time:
- Uterine size and shape
- Endometrial thickness and pattern
- Fibroids or other abnormalities
8. Free Fluid in Pelvis
Presence of fluid in the pouch of Douglas may indicate infection, rupture, or other pathology.
🩺 Why It’s Done (Common Indications):
- Pelvic pain or bloating
- Irregular or heavy periods
- Postmenopausal bleeding
- Family or personal history of ovarian cancer
- Monitoring known cysts or masses
- Fertility evaluation
