Ultrasound‭, ‬which is a sound wave of frequency more than 20‭ ‬kHz‭, ‬is beyond the hearing range of human‭. ‬It can go underneath the‭ ‬skin and reflect images of muscles‭, ‬organs and tissues‭. ‬Being painless‭, ‬harmless‭, ‬no radiation and no contrast are used‭.‬

 

 

Examination Process

 

The examination time takes 15 - 30 minutes to complete and may take longer for difficult examination, depending on body region. During the examination, the radiographer will apply ultrasound gel to the body part needed for imaging, and slide the transducer on it. Patients may need to hold their breath for several seconds or turn around for convenient scanning.
