What Is Ultrasound Imaging?
Ultrasound imaging employs high-frequency sound waves to generate images of your body’s interior, offering a safe, straightforward, and painless diagnostic option. This technique does not involve radiation, allowing radiologists and physicians to view images in real time. It is widely used for examining the thyroid gland, breasts, abdominal and pelvic organs, testes, and for assessing blood flow in arteries and veins.
At Northwest Radiology, we are dedicated to offering our ultrasound patients high-quality, cost-effective imaging services. Our team is committed to delivering an exceptional patient experience, ensuring you receive the support and care you need throughout the process. We are here to assist you.
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of internal organs and structures. This non-invasive procedure does not involve radiation, making it safe for pregnant women and children.
What to expect
Unlike other imaging techniques, ultrasound doesn’t involve radiation, making it safe for all ages.
After your exam
Your doctor will review the images immediately, discussing any findings and necessary next steps with you.
