A member asked:
For what reasons ultrasound is preferred to x-rays for ovarian tumour?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See answer: Plain x-rays do not identify the ovary - ultrasound particularly endovaginal ultrasound not only identifies the ovary accurately but also the bloodflow/vascularity which is a concern in ovarian torsion.
