Ultrasound imaging, also known as diagnostic ultrasound, uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the body’s tissues, structures, and blood flow. A transducer/probe and ultrasound gel work together to transmit and receive ultrasound waves, creating images on the monitor without the use of ionizing radiation.
Jefferson Radiology offers a wide range of ultrasound examinations, including:
In addition to the types of ultrasounds performed at Jefferson Radiology, other common ultrasound exams include:
Ultrasound exams use a transducer/probe that emits high-frequency sound waves. These sound waves bounce off internal organs and soft tissue structures, and the returning echoes are captured to produce real-time images on a monitor.
Ultrasound examinations are versatile and can be used to view various internal organs and soft tissues. They help in diagnosing conditions related to blood vessels, organs, and tissues without the need for invasive procedures. Common uses include examining the liver, kidneys, gallbladder, heart, and reproductive organs.
The duration of the exam will depend on the type of ultrasound being performed. Typically, ultrasound exams take around 30 minutes. You will lie on an examination table while the technologist applies a gel to your skin to help transmit sound waves. The transducer is then moved over the area of interest to capture images.
Preparation for ultrasound exams may vary. Some exams may require you to eat or drink certain things, while others may require fasting. Your healthcare provider will give you specific instructions based on the type of ultrasound you are scheduled for.
