About This Service
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of organs, tissues, and blood flow. It is completely safe, painless, and uses no radiation, making it ideal for a wide variety of diagnostic evaluations.
Common Uses
- Abdominal organ evaluation (liver, gallbladder, kidneys)
- Thyroid and neck imaging
- Vascular studies (Doppler ultrasound)
- Pelvic and obstetric imaging
- Musculoskeletal evaluation (muscles, tendons, joints)
- Evaluation of lumps and soft tissue swelling
How to Prepare
Preparation varies by exam type. For abdominal ultrasound, you may need to fast for 8-12 hours. For pelvic ultrasound, a full bladder may be required. We will provide specific instructions when you schedule.
