What is an Ultrasound?

An ultrasound (also called sonography) is one of the most trusted and used methods for looking at the soft tissues in the body. It can be used to investigate a wide range of different conditions, including everything from vascular issues to abdominal pain to concerns with any of your internal organs. It can also be used to evaluate pelvic and thyroid conditions. It’s also the most well-known for monitoring pregnancies.

The scan involves lying on an exam table. From there, your technician may ask you to undress in order to access the appropriate area. They will then apply a smooth gel to the area and use a wand (called a transducer) to the area. As they glide it along the skin, it uses high-frequency sound waves to provide them with detailed images on a screen. The whole process shouldn’t take more than 45 minutes. And because it doesn’t use radiation, it’s completely safe.

Who is a Candidate for an Ultrasound?

Almost everyone is a good candidate for an ultrasound. If your physician or medical provider refers you to have an ultrasound, you are likely a perfect candidate.

If you are experiencing pain, are pregnant, or need imaging so your provider can see what’s going on inside your body, an ultrasound is likely a great solution. That said, your technician will ask you questions during your appointment to ensure this is the right screening method for you.
