ABSTRACT:
A speculum is equipped with an ultrasound probe, for permitting ultrasound visualization during procedures, such as transcervical embryo transfer with In Vitro Fertilization, thus providing superior transvaginal ultrasonographic imaging without interference by the ultrasound probe with usual embryo transfer techniques, and without the need for an additional assistant. The probe may be disposed on either of the posterior blade and the anterior blade, depending upon physiological factors varying with each patient and procedure.
