Ultrasound/Sonography
GE LOGIQ 9

Using the newest, state-of-the-art equipment, the high resolution ultrasound scans are obtained by a trained technologist and interpreted by physicians specializing in body imaging.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of body parts by detecting reflected sound waves from internal organs.

Ultrasound is painless and safe.  Since ultrasound does not use ionizing radiation, it can be safely used to image the growing fetus and mother.  Ultrasound also has a wide application in radiology and is used to image many organs, including the:

Heart Blood vessels Gall bladder Abdominal Organs

Kidneys Thyroid Pelvic Obstetric

About the Procedure

A hand-held device called a transducer is placed on the patient's skin.  A gel is used to help facilitate the transmission of sound through the body.  The transducer sends the sound waves and receives the reflected sound waves.  The signals are then sent to a computer for processing and image construction.  These images that are produced can then be displayed on a video monitor or printed on film.
