Answer:

The answer is Ultrasound of the pelvis.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a woman who has pelvic pain on the right side, the mode of imaging chosen is ultrasound of the pelvis; through this study we will rule out, first of all a tubal pregnancy, ovarian cyst torsion; It could also show the presence of images suggestive of renal lithiasis or infectious processes (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease).
