An ultrasound scan uses high-frequency sound waves to capture images from the inside of the body. It’s also known as sonography. It also helps guide in biopsies, diagnose heart conditions, and assess damage after a heart attack. Ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive procedure which does not use radiation. It helps to diagnose the causes of infection, pain, and swelling in the body’s internal organs and to examine an unborn child (fetus) in pregnant women. Doctors commonly use ultrasound to assess the brain, hips, and spine. Such as muscles, organs, or a baby in your womb can be detected by using Ultrasound.

What is the Procedure of Ultrasound?

• A transducer will be inserted in your body opening. The provider applies a thin layer of gel to your skin so that the ultrasound waves are transmitted from the transducer through the gel and into your body.
• Electrical current into high-frequency sound waves and sends the waves into your body’s tissue.
• Sound waves bounce off structures inside your body and back to the probe, which converts the waves into electrical signals.
• A computer then converts the pattern of electrical signals into real-time images or videos, which will be displayed on a computer screen.
• After getting the images your radiologist or provider will analyse the reports and suggest the best for your health.
• During the procedure you can expect, you recline comfortably on the examination table. Doctors perform an ultrasound on the outside of your skin. We apply a special gel that promotes better sound wave conduction to the treatment area and move the machine over the part of your body you need to examine.
