Ultrasound

What is an Ultrasound?

An ultrasound, also known as sonography, uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of the inside of your body. It’s a non-invasive and radiation-free imaging technique.

How Does It Work?

During the scan

Procedure:
  • Stay Still: It’s important to remain still during the scan to ensure clear images.
  • Duration: The scan typically takes between 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the area being examined.

What to Expect?

  • After the Scan:

    • Normal Activities: You can usually resume normal activities immediately after the scan.
    • Follow-Up: Your doctor will review the images and discuss the results with you.

    Common Uses of Ultrasound:

    • Abdominal Issues: Examining organs like the liver, kidneys, and gallbladder.
    • Vascular:  Evaluating blood vessels for blockages located in the carotid, upper and lower extremities.
    • Musculoskeletal: Evaluating muscles, tendons, and joints.
