Ultrasound is similar to the sonar that ships and submarines use to show what's in the water around them. With medical ultrasound, a wand-like-instrument called a transducer sends out waves of high-frequency sound. As these sound waves pass through the body, certain structures like organs, tissues, and tumors reflect the wave back. That reflection, or echo, is then used to create a picture of what's ahead.
In addition to taking those early pictures of a developing baby, ultrasound has many uses including helping doctors determine the causes of pain, swelling, and infection. Doctors also can use ultrasound services in Richmond to view organs including
Heart and blood vessels including the flow of blood and potential narrowing of vessels
Liver, gallbladder, spleen, and pancreas
Kidneys, bladder, uterus, and ovaries
Eyes, thyroid, and parathyroid glands, scrotum
Ultrasound can help doctors with a number of medical procedures such as a biopsy of a suspicious mass.
