Ultrasound Imaging

Real-Time Visualization of Internal Structures

Sonography Test (also known as ultrasound) is a noninvasive imaging technique which uses high-frequency soundwaves to create detailed images of organs and internal structures. Sonography is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that does not use ionizing radioactivity. Sonography involves sending soundwaves into the body, capturing their echos, and creating real-time visuals of organs, tissues, and blood flow. This imaging modality plays an important role in diagnosing various medical conditions and is vital for areas like the abdomen, heart, and pelvis.

When is a sonography test prescribed?

In a wide range of clinical scenarios, sonography can be prescribed to aid in diagnosis and treatment. This is commonly done to determine the cause of abdominal pain. It can be gallstones or liver disease. It is used to examine the pelvis of females in order to detect conditions such as fibroids, cysts or other abnormalities within the reproductive organs. Sonography is essential for fetal monitoring, detecting abnormalities, and ensuring health of unborn babies during pregnancy. Sonography can also be used to evaluate the heart’s structure and function. This helps diagnose heart problems, such as congenital defects or heart valve issues. The real-time image of the targeted area can also be used to guide certain procedures such as injections or biopsies.

Sonography Test Preparation

The preparation for a sonography exam varies according to the area that is being examined. Fasting is required for abdominal sonography 6-8 hours before the test to ensure clear images of abdominal organs. Transabdominal sonography is usually required for pelvic ultrasound. Patients should avoid urination and drink lots of water prior to the test. If the healthcare provider has not instructed otherwise, there is no need to prepare for pregnancy sonography. To ensure accurate test results, it is important that you inform your healthcare provider of any allergies, medications or medical conditions before the test.

Sonography Test Parameters

The area under examination will determine the key parameters that are evaluated. It measures the size and shape organs like the heart, liver, and kidneys. It can also distinguish between fluid-filled and solid structures. This helps to detect abnormalities like tumors or cysts. Doppler ultrasonic measurements of blood flow are crucial to evaluating circulation and detecting vascular problems. Sonography is used to monitor fetal growth and heart rate during pregnancy. It also provides vital information about prenatal care.

Sonography Test Report Time Requirement

Sonography tests are usually short. The duration of the procedure varies from 15 to 45 min, depending on how complex the exam is. Often, preliminary results are available immediately following the test. This provides an initial insight. Detailled reports can be obtained within a couple of hours or a day depending on workload and the complexity of the images. Your healthcare provider will discuss and review the results to help you make an accurate diagnosis and plan of treatment.
