How Ultrasound Services Work:

Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body. It is commonly used to examine the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, liver, and other organs, as well as during pregnancy to monitor the health and development of the fetus. At TrueCare Medical, the ultrasound process begins with a referral from your primary care provider or specialist. During the procedure, a small handheld device called a transducer is used to send and receive sound waves, which are then converted into images on a monitor.

Ultrasound Experience:

At TrueCare Medical, your comfort and safety are our top priorities during an ultrasound examination. Our trained technicians ensure that the process is as smooth and comfortable as possible, providing clear instructions and support throughout the procedure. Ultrasounds are painless and safe, with no ionizing radiation exposure. The duration of the procedure varies depending on the area being examined but generally takes between 30 to 60 minutes.

Post-Ultrasound Care:

After your ultrasound, the images will be reviewed by a radiologist or relevant specialist who will interpret the findings. The results are typically available within a few days and will be communicated to you by your referring physician, who will discuss any findings and next steps in terms of treatment or further diagnostics. TrueCare Medical also offers follow-up consultations to address any concerns or questions you may have about your ultrasound results.

How should I prepare for an ultrasound?

Preparation for an ultrasound varies depending on the type of exam. You may be asked to fast for several hours, especially if your abdomen is being examined, or to drink water and avoid urinating so that your bladder is full for a pelvic ultrasound. Your healthcare provider will give you specific instructions based on the type of ultrasound you are undergoing.

Ultrasound is considered a safe imaging modality as it does not use ionizing radiation. It is used extensively during pregnancy and to diagnose various medical conditions safely across different age groups.

Can ultrasound detect all health issues?

While ultrasound is a valuable diagnostic tool, it may not be suitable for detecting all types of health conditions. Some conditions may require other imaging methods such as MRI or CT scans for more detailed views or different types of tissue contrast.
