New Jersey Ultrasound

What is an Ultrasound?

Ultrasound imaging is a radiology procedure that uses soundwaves to create live-feed images of internal organs. No radiation is used in ultrasound imaging, which is why it is the test used to assess the health of fetuses. Though it is primarily known for its role in maternal medicine, ultrasound has many applications outside of this. It is often used to examine the heart and blood vessels, liver, gallbladder, kidneys, and pancreas, among other things. It is also often used in interventional procedures such as ultrasound-guided biopsies.

Many different types of ultrasound procedures are offered at Atlantic Medical Imaging practices in New Jersey.

The Ultrasound Process

During an ultrasound patients usually lie down on a table as a sonographer applies a gel over the area that will be examined. An ultrasound device consists of a monitor and an attached transducer. The transducer releases sound waves over the body part being examined. The information from these sound waves are sent back to the monitor and display on screen as a live-feed video.
