Ultrasound is an excellent tool to examine children of all ages. The examination is fast, painless and does not require young children and infants to remain still for long periods of time. Real time imaging captures the internal tissues and organs quickly and effectively. Advanced imaging using colour Doppler, harmonic imaging and higher resolution probes increases the effectiveness of pediatric studies.
Types of Pediatric Exams we offer:
What will the sonographer do?
For this exam, an odourless, water-soluble gel will be applied to the skin on the body part to be examined. This gel helps to transmit sound waves and ensures proper contact in order to produce quality images. The gel also helps to glide the probe over the skin for maximum comfort. The images obtained are reported by the radiologist.
This exam lasts approximately 15-30 minutes
Results
Any urgent findings will be called in right away. The final report is faxed to your healthcare practitioner within 24-48 hours.
Why does StL Diagnostic Phone “Verbals” instead of just faxing the report?
It is our protocol to communicate significant medical findings to the registered practitioner who is managing your care. As soon as the images are interpreted by our radiologist, urgent medical results are entered into our reporting queue and a person from our team calls directly. This significantly improves the timing and quality of patient care.
