UltrasoundUltrasound is an imaging technique which uses high frequency sound waves to create images of body structures, internal organs and to show movement. Ultrasound is also used during pregnancy to check fetal development.
An ultrasonic transducer sends and receives the ultrasound waves. A water based gel assists in the transmission of the sound waves.
Ultrasound services are performed on Acuson Sequoia ultrasound machines. Its "native tissue harmonics" technology enhances the ability to see detail in body structures.
Doppler ultrasound is a special technique that evaluates the speed, direction and pressure of blood flow in blood vessels. It is used in detecting fetal heart beat and in evaluating blood flow in the adult heart. Different speeds of flow may be displayed in color for ease of interpretation. Audible sounds are also helpful in the evaluation of flow.
