Ultrasound, also known as sonography, or ultrasonography, is a diagnostic procedure that transmits high-frequency sound waves, inaudible to the human ear, through body tissues. The echoes are recorded and transformed into video or photographic images of the internal structures of the body.

Our GE Logic 9 Ultrasound provides the latest in high quality sonographic technology. We perform all types of exams to create images of soft tissue structures, such as the gall bladder, liver, aorta, abdomen, kidney and Obgyn studies.Ultrasound can also detect blockages in the blood vessels. Our breast ultrasounds use the highest frequency transducers, which enable the radiologist to best diagnose lesions.

Studies have shown that ultrasound is not hazardous. There are no harmful side effects. In addition, ultrasound does not use radiation, as x-ray tests do.

Typically, ultrasound exams do not require any special preparation. Wear comfortable clothes. Gowns and a changing area will be available if needed.
