Our Ultrasound department has earned certification by the American College of Radiology. Ultrasound is a technique that transmits sound waves into the body, captures their reflections, and transforms them into an image that the radiologist can read. It does not use radiation or dyes. Sound waves are produced and received by a small transducer that resembles a microphone. You relax during the procedure on an examination table, while the ultrasound technologist passes the transducer over the part of your body that is being examined.

Risks
Ultrasound is an extremely safe imaging procedure. There is no radiation exposure and no known side effects.
