Ultrasonography

Best Ultrasonography Center in Bangalore

An ultrasonic scan is a medical procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of the inside of the patient’s body. This process is also known as sonography.

The technique is similar to that used by military sonar and radar to identify aircraft in the air and ships at sea. An ultrasound allows your doctor to examine internal organs, arteries, and tissues without making an incision in the patient’s abdomen.

Ultrasound, unlike other imaging procedures, does not use radiation. As a result, the method is considered the most effective and safe way to monitor the development of a growing baby during pregnancy.

The Procedure of Ultrasonography

Prior to the test, you will be required to change into a hospital gown. Most likely, you will be laying down on a table with a portion of your body exposed for the examination.

A sonographer, or ultrasound technician, will lubricate your skin with a specific solution before the procedure. This lowers friction, allowing them to brush the ultrasound transducer against your skin without hurting it. 

The transducer has an appearance that is similar to a microphone. Furthermore, the jelly aids the transmission of sound waves.

The transducer sends high-frequency sound waves through your body. When the waves strike a thick item, such as an organ or a bone, they reverberate. These echoes are then reflected into a computer for further evaluation. 

The sound waves have a pitch that is too high for human ears to detect. They combine to create an image that can be deciphered by the physician.

You may need to change your position to give the technician better access to the area being checked.

Following the procedure, a cleansing solution will be used to remove the gel from your skin. The whole process could take less than 30 minutes on average, depending on the area being inspected. After the procedure, you will be able to resume your normal daily activities without restriction.

Why is an ultrasound ordered?

If you have pain, swelling, or other symptoms that require an inside examination of your organs, your doctor may order an ultrasound to diagnose you. 

An ultrasound can provide an image of various body parts, including the uterine blood arteries, the bladder, the brain (in babies), the eyes, the gallbladder, the kidneys, the liver, the ovaries, the pancreas, the spleen, the thyroid, and the testicles. 

It can also be used to direct surgeons’ movements during certain medical procedures such as biopsies, which can be quite beneficial.
