Abstract

Several imaging techniques can be adopted to image the female genital tract. The choice of the most suitable imaging approach and the related imaging protocols varies depending on the clinical indications and patient’s conditions. In this chapter, the role of each imaging method in the gynaecological setting will be briefly reviewed, as well as the most common pathologies, particularly considering those of interventional radiology interest.
