WHAT IS ULTRASOUND?
Ultrasound imaging is a safe, non-invasive procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of the inside of the body. Unlike X-rays, ultrasound does not use radiation, making it a preferred method for examining soft tissues, organs, and blood flow. Ultrasound is versatile and can be used in a wide range of diagnostic applications, from monitoring pregnancy to assessing abdominal pain. For specific needs, we may refer you to a specialized clinic to ensure you receive the best possible care.

What to Expect
What you should expect at your ultrasound appointment
Preparation
A trained technician will apply a water-based gel to the area being examined to facilitate the transmission of sound waves. A small handheld device called a transducer sends a sound waves into the body and capturing the returning echoes to create an image.
Results
The images produced by the ultrasound are interpreted by a radiologist, who will analyze the findings and provide a detailed report to your doctor. Your doctor will discuss the results with you and recommend the next steps.
Understanding Your Results
Once your ultrasound has been performed, the images will be carefully analyzed by a radiologist, a physician specialized in interpreting diagnostic images. The radiologist will examine the ultrasound for any signs of abnormalities and provide a comprehensive report to your healthcare provider.
Receiving Your Results: Your doctor will review the ultrasound results with you, explaining what the images reveal and what they mean for your health. This discussion will help determine the next steps, whether that involves treatment, further testing, or a referral to a specialist.
Follow-Up Care: Based on your diagnosis, your doctor may recommend additional imaging tests, prescribe a treatment plan, or schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor your condition and ensure the best possible outcome.
