Ultrasound is a non-invasive medical procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to capture real-time images to monitor pregnancies, assess organs and soft tissues, and evaluate blood flow in blood vessels. This procedure can look at the structures of your body without the use of radiation or contrast dye.

During the Sonography

Room set-up

You will be taken to an examination room and asked to lie down on a stretcher. The room will typically be dimly lit to help the sonographer see the monitor and the images that are taken during the test. While the sonographer is scanning, they will not be able to turn the screen towards you.

Gel application

A water-based gel will be applied to the area of your body that will be examined. This gel helps the ultrasound probe/transducer make better contact with your skin and allows sound waves to pass through more easily

Ultrasound examinations are generally painless. You will feel slight pressure as the sonographer moves the ultrasound transducer, but it is usually well-tolerated.
