ULTRASOUND
A scan that uses high-frequency sound waves to capture live images from the inside of your body. It allows your doctor to see problems with organs, vessels, and tissues without needing to make an incision
Unlike other imaging techniques, ultrasound uses no radiation. For this reason, it’s the preferred method for viewing a developing fetus during pregnancy.
Preparation for an ultrasound will depend on the area or organ that is being examined
Inform your doctor about any prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, or herbal supplements that you take before the exam.
It’s important to follow your doctor’s instructions before the procedure
