While many know Western Imaging for Women as the “gold standard” for pregnancy imaging, we are also a leading specialist centre for comprehensive gynaecological health. Whether you are experiencing pelvic pain, investigating fertility, or attending a routine check-up, our gynaecology-trained doctors provide a level of diagnostic precision that general radiology clinics simply cannot match.

As a private specialist clinic, we focus exclusively on women’s health, ensuring that every scan is performed with the highest level of clinical oversight and sensitive care.

Understanding Your Gynaecology Scan Options

Gynaecological ultrasounds are essential tools for monitoring the health of the uterus, ovaries, and pelvic region. Below are the most common scans we perform at our Maribyrnong clinic:

• Pelvic Ultrasound: A baseline assessment used to examine the size and shape of the uterus and ovaries.

• Specialised Endometriosis Scans: We utilise advanced imaging techniques to identify deep infiltrating endometriosis. This is a highly specialised service that goes beyond a standard pelvic scan to help patients find answers for chronic pain.

• Follicle Tracking: For those on a fertility journey, these scans monitor the growth of follicles within the ovaries to help determine the optimal timing for conception.

• Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) Assessment: Detailed imaging to check for the presence of multiple small follicles and assess the overall structure of the ovaries.

• IUD Placement Checks: Ensuring that your intrauterine device is correctly positioned for maximum safety and efficacy.

Preparing for Your Appointment

Most gynaecology scans are performed transvaginally to get the clearest, most detailed images of the pelvic organs. However, our sonographers will always discuss the process with you first to ensure you are comfortable and informed.
