Ultrasound

Ultrasound or sonography is a diagnostic exam that uses sound waves to create images of organs, soft tissues, blood vessels and other structures inside the body. You will be asked to lie on a stretcher and will be positioned as needed. The sonographer will apply a water-based gel to the skin while applying firm pressure with an ultrasound transducer or probe to take images of the body part. The pressure applied is necessary to obtain clear images.
