FAQ - ULTRASOUNDS
What is an ultrasound?
Are there any risks associated with ultrasound testing?
How is the ultrasound performed?
Ultrasound is a medical imaging technique that uses a physical mechanic similar to a submarine’s sonar or dolphin echolocation. The device, called a transducer, sends out high frequency sound waves and then “listens” to the response. The advanced technology used in ultrasonography can create a picture based on the sound reflected back at the machine.

How is the ultrasound performed?
The procedure begins with the patient lying down on the examination table as a water-based gel is applied to the area on their body that will be observed. This gel allows consistent contact between the body and the transducer, free of any air pockets that could get in the way. The transducer is kept firmly against the skin and is “swept” back and forth across the area to allow for the most detailed observation possible.
