Figure 20. Posteroanterior pelvic pneumogram shows polycystic ovaries. This image was obtained by injecting air or carbon dioxide intraperitoneally. The patient was then tilted with the head down in the prone position. In so doing, the rising air or carbon dioxide outlined the enlarged ovaries (O) and the normal-sized uterus (U). The bladder (B) is seen, as is the bowel.
