Ultrasound

Ultrasound (sonography) uses the echoes of sound waves to create detailed pictures for radiologist to view even the smallest internal areas of the body. Because of the way ultrasound works, it is often the best imaging option for difficult-to-image, large, or muscular patients.

Benefits of Ultrasound

Unlike X-ray or CT, ultrasound does not use radiation and is the preferred imaging method for viewing a developing fetus, examining the gallbladder and other abdominal organs, and evaluating blood vessels for disease, such as carotid stenosis (narrowing of carotid arteries).
