Diagnostic ultrasound (also called sonography) uses safe, high-frequency sound waves to produce pictures of the body’s internal organs. Because ultrasound images are captured in real-time, they can also show movement of the body’s internal organs as well as blood flowing through the blood vessels.

Abdominal and Renal

Elastography

Pelvic

Echocardiography

How do I prepare for an Ultrasound?

  • Depending on the exam ordered by your provider you may need to be fasting and/or need to drink water up to two hours before your scan (Abdominal/Renal). You also may be asked to arrive with a full bladder (Pelvic/OB). The radiology department will provide you with these instructions.
  • The ultrasound probe requires a warm gel be applied to your skin over the area of concern. This eliminates any interference with the sound waves between the probe and you.
