Ultrasound

MD Imaging’s revolutionary Sequoia® 512 ultrasound system makes it possible for physicians to obtain precise and detailed pictures from large, muscular or otherwise difficult-to-image patients and allow them to view even the smallest internal parts of the body.

What is an Ultrasound?
Unlike an X-ray or radiation, an ultrasound uses sound waves and their echoes to produce pictures in many different places of the body.
How does an Ultrasound work?
A small plastic probe is placed lightly on the skin over the area being scanned. The transducer probe generates and receives high frequency sound waves which are electronically and acoustically focused on the area being scanned.
What is an Ultrasound used for?
Sonograpahy can be used to visualize a developing fetus, examine the gallbladder and other abdominal organs and evaluate blood vessels for disease, such as carotid stenosis (narrowing).
What can I expect from an Ultrasound exam?

UltrasoundThe Ultrasound technologist will apply a mineral oil-based jelly to the area of your skin being examined. This jelly will eliminate the air flow between the probe and your skin to allow the sound waves to pass into your body. The technologist will apply the probe to your skin, scanning the area to obtain the required images. After the images are taken, they are stored on a disk, and may be printed on X-ray film.
