Is an ultrasound safe and does it hurt?

Yes, ultrasound is completely safe as it uses sound waves, not radiation. The procedure is non-invasive and painless.

Do I need to prepare before an ultrasound?

For abdominal ultrasounds, fasting for 4 to 6 hours is usually recommended. Pelvic ultrasounds may require a full bladder. We will give you specific instructions.

What organs can be examined with ultrasound?

We can image the abdomen (liver, gallbladder, kidneys, pancreas), thyroid, female pelvis (uterus and ovaries), and soft tissues.

When will my ultrasound results be ready?

The imaging is interpreted by our physician, typically the same day or within 24 hours.
