Transvaginal sonography (TVS) detects structures using ultrasound. It gives a much clearer picture and is therefore much better suited for detecting structures within the abdominal cavity than an abdominal ultrasound.

The following links show a little bit more about how we use TVS to catch ovarian malignancies.
