Ultrasound is one of the least invasive and most widely used diagnostic medical tools available.
It transmits safe, non-invasive, ultra-high frequency sound waves and creates an image from the resulting echoes. These echoes are recorded, processed, and displayed on a screen by a computer.
When compared to other procedures, an ultrasound study generally involves no discomfort and requires very little patient preparation. Unlike X-ray, ultrasound does not require the use of radiation; it is used to study internal organs, such as the heart, liver, uterus, ovaries, blood vessels, and other soft tissue structures.
What Can You Expect During Your Ultrasound?
Before the exam, you will change into a gown. You will most likely be lying down on a table with a section of your body exposed for the test.
Our ultrasound technologist, called a Sonographer, will apply a special lubricating jelly to your skin. This prevents friction so they can rub the ultrasound transducer on your skin. The transducer has a similar appearance to a microphone. The jelly also helps transmit the sound waves.
The transducer sends high-frequency sound waves through your body. The waves echo as they hit a dense object, such as an organ or bone. Those echoes are then reflected back into a computer and form a picture that can be interpreted by the doctor.
Depending on the area being examined, you may need to change positions so the Sonographer can have better access.
A typical procedure lasts less than 30 minutes, depending on the area being examined. You will be free to go about your normal activities after the procedure is completed.
