About Ultrasound
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of structures within the body. It is safe, painless, and does not use radiation. Commonly used for pregnancy monitoring, abdominal scans, thyroid imaging, and musculoskeletal assessment.
What to Expect
A gel is applied to the skin over the area being examined. A handheld device (transducer) is pressed against the skin and moved around. Images appear in real time on a monitor. The procedure takes 15–45 minutes.
