Ultrasound imaging, also called ultrasound scanning or sonography, is a method of 'seeing' inside the human body through the use of high frequency sound waves. It is a useful way of examining many of the body's internal organs non-invasively and without any discomfort.
You will be positioned comfortably lying down on the scanning couch. The room may be darkened in order for the operator to optimize visualization on the monitor.

A water-soluble gel will be applied over the area to be examined to optimize transmission of the sound waves through the body.
