Frequently Asked Questions...
How Do I Prepare for My Ultrasound?
Some ultrasound exams have a prep and some do not. When scheduling your appointment, you will be informed of any prep, we will also call you to remind you of your prep the day prior to your exam.
What to Expect During Your Ultrasound...
Depending on the area of the body being examined, we may ask you to change into a gown or undress from the waist down. You’ll lie down on the padded table and a sonographer will use a transducer (ultrasound probe) to obtain necessary images.
