Ultrasound

Ultrasound is a simple, safe, painless diagnostic procedure that bounces high-frequency sound waves off parts of the body and captures the returning "echoes" as images.

There is no injection or radiation exposure associated with ultrasound.

The examination involves placement of an ultrasound probe (transducer) and a warm coupling gel over the body area being examined.

Diagnostic ultrasound includes exams for diagnosis and treatment. Common areas of examination include:
