About Ultrasound Scan
An ultrasound technician, called a sonographer, applies a special lubricating jelly to your skin. This prevents friction so they can rub the ultrasound transducer on your skin. The transducer has a similar appearance to a microphone. The jelly also helps transmit the sound waves.
The transducer sends high-frequency sound waves through your body. The waves echo as they hit a dense object, such as an organ or bone. Those echoes are then reflected back into a computer. The sound waves are at too high of a pitch for the human ear to hear.
They form a picture that can be interpreted by the doctor. Depending on the area being examined, you may need to change positions so the technician can have better access. After the procedure, the gel will be cleaned off of your skin. The whole procedure typically lasts less than 30 minutes, depending on the area being examined.
The doctors at AarPee Hospital are experienced professionals, and they conduct every ultrasound scan with utmost care and precision.
