Radiology & Imaging
Ultrasound / sonography
Uses sound waves to image organs, blood flow, or (in pregnancy) a developing baby — safe and radiation-free.
When this is typically needed
- Pregnancy monitoring
- Abdominal or pelvic symptoms needing evaluation
- Doctor-ordered imaging for a specific organ
What it involves
A probe is moved over the skin with a small amount of gel; painless and typically takes 20-30 minutes.
What to expect
Many findings are visible and discussed in real time; a formal report follows shortly after.
