Overview

Ultrasound utilizes high frequency sound waves to look at the size and structure of body organs. Ultrasound gel is placed on  the skin in the area to be examined and a probe is moved over the area to obtain the images. This procedure is performed by both Sonographers and Radiologists. A Radiologist interprets the images and provides a report. We perform a wide variety of ultrasound studies. We are also able to obtain 3 and 4-dimensional (3D and 4D) images of a pregnancy during the 5th and 6th months.
