Ultrasound: This is an ultrasound test to examine the organs of the pelvis, typically using either a trans-abdominal or trans-vaginal approach, depending on what is suspected, such as ovarian cysts or uterine fibroids.

Image female organs: Painless exam usually performed directly on skin or with vaginal probe, it uses very high frequency sound waves to see the uterus, ovaries, cervix, bladder...It is safe since there is no deleterious effects from sound, used in medical environment, thus used to see a developing fetus. This is a quick, relatively inexpensive, and safe tool.
