Diagnostic Ultrasound
- Ultrasound is a medical procedure that uses sound waves to visualize internal structures.
- Ultrasound is a simple procedure that does not require the use of radiation or special medications or dyes.
- During Ultrasound a small device called a transducer is placed over the area being examined. Sound waves pass through the skin from the transducer and bounces off organs and tissues in the body. These sound waves are reflected back to the transducer. The sound waves will then be converted to an image that will appear on a monitor that will be evaluated by the radiologist.
- Some Ultrasound procedures require special preparation (i.e. fasting for several hours before the procedure; emptying or filling your bladder), so pay special attention to any instructions given to you at the time your procedure is scheduled.
- Ultrasound is offered Monday-Saturday. Call ScheduleFirst for a convenient time
