What is Ultrasound?

Diagnostic ultrasound is an imaging method that uses sound waves to produce images of structures within the body. Other names for an ultrasound scan include a sonogram or (when imaging the heart) an echocardiogram. 

It’s quick and safe and has a remarkable ability to visualize soft tissues, such as organs and muscles. The advantage of ultrasound is it’s a noninvasive imaging test that uses no radiation or contrast dye. It can also be completed much faster than a CT scan or MRI. 

What Can Ultrasound Detect? 

Ultrasound images can be used to provide more accurate information and treatment options for a variety of diseases and conditions, including: 

  • Breast Ultrasound to detect cancer

  • Testicular scans to detect tumours

  • Rule out tendon, ligament and muscle injuries and assess joints for inflammation

  • Abdominal pain

  • Diagnose gallbladder disease

  • Evaluate blood flow

  • Examine a breast lump

  • Check the thyroid gland

  • Check on the growth and well-being of your baby

  • Detect disease in the arteries and veins

If you want to be proactive about your healthcare or find the root cause of your pain, an Ultrasound might be right for you.
