What Is an Ultrasound?

Fast, Safe & Radiation-Free Imaging

Ultrasound (also called sonography) uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of structures inside the body. Because it does not use radiation, ultrasound is one of the safest imaging exams available and is commonly used for evaluating the abdomen, pelvis, thyroid, blood flow, soft tissues, and pregnancy.

Your physician may recommend an ultrasound to help diagnose pain, swelling, infection, vascular conditions, or to monitor certain medical conditions.

What to expect

Preparing for Your Ultrasound

Different ultrasound exams require different preparation.

  • Avoid eating for 6–8 hours before certain abdominal exams.

  • Continue taking medications unless instructed otherwise.

  • Wear comfortable two-piece clothing whenever possible.

1. Check In

Arrive approximately 15–20 minutes before your appointment to complete registration, verify your information, and prepare for your exam. Please have your photo ID, insurance card, and any requested documents available.

2. Preparation

Preparation varies by exam. Our team will provide simple instructions before your appointment to help ensure the best imaging results.

3. Your Ultrasound Exam

A clear gel is applied to the skin, and a handheld device called a transducer is gently moved over the area being examined.

The exam is painless and typically lasts between 20–45 minutes, depending on the study.

4. Results

A board-certified radiologist carefully interprets your images and prepares a detailed report for your referring healthcare provider, who will review the findings with you and discuss any recommended next steps.
