What is an Ultrasound?

Ultrasound is a type of medical imaging used to assess internal organs in the body using sound waves. No radiation is involved which makes this a very safe and accessible scan. The sonographer will run a transducer (like a small probe shaped camera) along your body that delivers the sound waves to produce a live picture of your internal structures.

Our Ultrasound services at In One Imaging include:

  • Pregnancy scans for all stages
  • Abdomen, Pelvis, Kidneys
  • All musculoskeletal regions
  • Breasts
  • Lumps/bumps
  • All Doppler studies

Ultrasound patient preparation

Frequently Asked Questions

Ultrasounds are commonly used to examine various organs and tissues in the body, such as the abdomen, pelvis, heart, blood vessels, and reproductive organs. They can help diagnose and monitor conditions such as pregnancy, gallstones, kidney stones, tumours, and heart abnormalities.

Preparation instructions may vary depending on the specific type of ultrasound you are having. Our team will advise you if you need any prior preparation at the time of booking. You can also view the preparation instruction for specific scans on our website under ‘Ultrasound patient preparation’.

Ultrasounds are considered safe and do not involve exposure to ionizing radiation, unlike X-rays or CT scans. The sound waves used in ultrasounds are not known to have any harmful effects on humans or developing foetuses.

The duration of an ultrasound can vary depending on the area being examined and the complexity of the case. Generally, an ultrasound can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour.

Ultrasounds are typically painless. However, you may experience slight discomfort or pressure during the procedure, especially if the ultrasound probe needs to be pressed firmly against your skin.

Ultrasounds are usually performed by a trained healthcare professional called a sonographer. They are skilled in operating the ultrasound equipment and interpreting the images.

The sonographer will capture the images during the ultrasound, but they are not authorized to provide a diagnosis. The images will be reviewed by a radiologist who will send a report to your healthcare provider. Your healthcare provider will communicate the results to you during a follow-up appointment.

Ultrasounds are generally considered safe and do not have any known risks or side effects. However, in rare cases, some individuals may experience an allergic reaction to the gel used during the procedure. If you have any concerns or specific medical conditions, it is best to discuss them with your healthcare provider beforehand.

In most cases, you are allowed to bring a support person with you to the ultrasound. Speak with your sonographer on the day as there are some cases where we cannot allow a second person in the room.
