Ultrasound
Ultrasonography utilizes a high-frequency sound beam to visualize the internal structures. The sound beam is directed into the body and the resulting densities of body tissue are analyzed to produce the diagnostic image.
Ultrasound is a versatile imaging modality. Ultrasound scanning can be performed on many different parts of the body. Our exams commonly focus on the following:
neonatal brain (portable ultrasound exams in the Special Care Nursery)
abdominal organs (i.e. liver, gallbladder, kidneys, pancreas, etc.)
pelvic organs (i.e. uterus, ovaries, bladder, testes)
small parts (i.e. thyroid gland, opthalmic, breast, etc.)
vascular (i.e. extremity vessels, abdominal vessels )
