Most people have no idea what actually happens during an abdominal ultrasound. So let us walk you through it.
Before you come in, we send prep instructions when you book. No guessing, no day-of confusion about whether you can eat or drink.
When you arrive, check-in is quick. Your sonographer will come get you when it's time. No sitting in a waiting room wondering what's next.
During the scan, a small handheld device is moved across your abdomen with warm gel. That's it. Sound waves create the images. No radiation, no needles, no recovery time needed.
Afterward, your images go to your referring provider or directly to you if you're self-referring. The next steps are between you and whoever is interpreting your scan.
If something here made you think of a question, ask us before you book!
