What are the clinicians looking at?
High resolution transducers are used to evaluate for possible abnormalities such as enlargement, growths, causes of swelling or pain.
What is the Prep?
No special preparation is required for this exam.
What will the sonographer do?
For this exam, you will be asked to lie down on a table with the region to be examined uncovered. An odourless and water-soluble gel will be put on your skin by the sonographer. This gel helps to transmit the sound waves and allows easy movement of probe or transducer over the skin. As the probe glides, pictures are taken. This exam does not cause discomfort of any kind. The sonographer will leave the room once all images are complete. You will be directed to a change room after which you will be free to leave.
This exam lasts for 15-30 minutes
When will I get the results?
If the exam is of an urgent nature, a verbal report will be called in right away. The final report is faxed to your doctor within 24-48 hours.
