Ultrasounds

Ultrasounds at Garnet Health

An ultrasound (sometimes refered to as a sonogram) is a non-invasive, non-radiation examination that uses high-frequency sound waves to capture live images from the inside of your body. An ultrasound will allow your doctor to see and analyze your organs, vessels, and tissues without any incision or invasive procedure.

Your doctor may refer you to an ultrasound scan for many reasons, as this technique can be used to effectively analyze many areas of your body. One of the most common uses of an ultrasound is to monitor the growth of an unborn child during pregnancy. It is also often used if you are experiencing symptoms like pain or swelling in certain areas that will require an internal view of your organs, such as your:

• Bladder
• Kidneys
• Liver
• Ovaries and uterus
• Pancreas
• Thyroid
• Blood vessels

In these and many other areas, an ultrasound can be used to detect signs of disease and locate possible abnormalities.

Garnet Health’s ultrasound systems are designed to provide doctors with more precise ultrasound images for easier, more efficient diagnosis of serious health problems. The system performs highly complex scanning techniques, such as high-resolution panoramic imaging or 3D scanning, all in real time. At Garnet Health, certified and highly skilled ultrasound technologists are supervised by a Board-certified radiologist.
