    Some radiology tests, together known as women's imaging, are frequently used to detect and monitor many diseases that affect women. They are used to look for diseases such as ovarian cancers, uterine and cervical tumors, and breast cancers. These tests include pelvic ultrasounds, pelvic MRIs, breast ultrasound and breast MRI.
     
    Hysterosalpingograms are also used to specifically look for causes of infertility which can include scarring, fibroids of the uterine cavity and blockages of the fallopian tubes. Galactograms are used to look for tumors of the milk ducts of the breast. Obstetric ultrasounds are used to monitor fetal growth and detect for fetal abnormalities.
     
    Below is a short video featuring Dr. Kenneth Chin who is a Radiologist. He answers many of common questions about women's imaging tests. The questions (in order) are listed below for your reference.
