What Can Patients Expect During Gynecological Imaging?
Patients undergoing gynecological imaging can expect a thorough and detailed process. For an ultrasound, a gel is applied to the abdomen or a transvaginal probe is used to obtain images. MRI scans require the patient to lie still in a large magnet, which can take from 15 minutes to over an hour. CT scans are relatively quick but may involve the use of contrast material to enhance image quality. Radiologists aim to make the experience as comfortable as possible while obtaining the necessary diagnostic information.
