Ultrasound
We love to check out those growing babies, but did you know that ultrasounds aren't just for pregnancy?An ultrasound is a great way to see the structure of soft tissues and organs in the body. Your provider might order an ultrasound to see if you have a kidney stone or to check if you have an inflamed gallbladder.What Is an Ultrasound?Ultrasound is an imaging technology that uses sound waves. An ultrasound wand sends out safe, high-frequency sound waves (too high for the ear to hear). The sound waves bounce back at different speeds, based on the type and location of tissues they hit.The ultrasound wand captures those slightly changed sound waves as they return. Then a computer analyzes those sound waves to create a moving image.We use ultrasounds to assess blood flow, view internal organs and examine parts of the body. Common places ultrasounds look at are the abdomen, breasts, thyroid and prostate. Because the sound waves don't break through very far, ultrasounds don't offer the best view of bones or structures hidden behind a lot of soft tissue. This is why doctors only recommend ultrasound for certain reasons.Sometimes doctors try ultrasound first and then suggest another test if it doesn't help diagnose the problem.
