Ultrasound imaging uses sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body. It helps diagnose the causes of pain, swelling and infection in the body's internal organs and to examine an unborn child (fetus) in pregnant women. In infants, doctors commonly use ultrasound to evaluate the brain, hips, and spine. .

An upper GI barium swallow with air is a type of x-ray test that uses fluoroscopy and a barium-based contrast material to produce images of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which includes the esophagus, stomach and small intestine.

An upper GI with air w/KUB and w/sm bowel is a type of x-ray test that uses fluoroscopy, a barium-based contrast material and air to produce images of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract and the lower abdomen (KUB).

An abdominal ultrasound is a safe and painless test that uses sound waves to make images of the abdomen (belly).

Ultrasound is a procedure that uses sound waves to "see" inside your body.

Bilateral whole-breast US, when performed in patients with dense (BI-RADS category 3 or 4 density) breast tissue, is useful in detecting breast cancer not discovered with mammography or clinical breast examination. The 0.3% cancer detection rate compares favorably with that of screening mammography and with that in previously published studies involving bilateral whole-breast US.

Ultrasound imaging is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. It is safe and painless. It produces pictures of the inside of the body using sound waves. Ultrasound imaging is also called sonography.

A carotid duplex ultrasound is performed to evaluate symptoms including dizziness, loss of memory, stroke, loss of  musclecontrol and other symptoms that might result from narrowing or blockage of the vessels (carotid arteries) on either side of your neck. A carotid ultrasound can also be used to screen for stroke risk. 

A chest ultrasound is a noninvasive diagnostic exam that produces images, which used to assess the organs and structures within the chest, such as the lungs, mediastinum (area in the chest containing the heart, aorta, trachea, esophagus, thymus, and lymph nodes), and pleural space (space between the lungs and the interior wall of the chest). Ultrasound technology allows quick visualization of the chest organs and structures from outside the body. Ultrasound may also be used to assess blood flow to chest organs.

A Doppler ultrasound is a noninvasive test that can be used to estimate the blood flow through your blood vessels by bouncing high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) off circulating red blood cells.

Ultrasound is a procedure that uses sound waves to "see" inside your body. An arterial duplex ultrasound uses sound waves to create a color map of the arteries in your legs to identify.

Venous ultrasound uses sound waves to produce images of the veins in the body. It is commonly used to search for blood clots, especially in the veins of the leg – a condition often referred to as deep vein thrombosis. Ultrasound does not use ionizing radiation and has no known harmful effects.

US extremity complete MSK exam is a type of ultrasound imaging of the musculoskeletal (MSK) system that uses sound waves to produce pictures of a specific joint in an extremity, such as the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee or ankle.

US extremity soft tissue is a type of ultrasound imaging of the soft tissues in an extremity, such as the arm or leg. Soft tissues include the skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia, muscle, tendons, ligaments, nerves and blood vessels.

High-frequency ultrasound is now considered an excellent modality to image normal tendons, muscles, and peripheral nerves as well as to diagnose a wide variety of pathological conditions affecting these structures.

These tests often include blood or urine tests, but medical imaging may also be recommended.A kidney and bladder ultrasound, or renal ultrasound, uses high frequency sound waves to visualize and assess your kidneys, ureters (small muscular tubes that join the kidneys with the bladder) and urinary bladder.

Thyroid ultrasound uses sound waves to produce pictures of the thyroid gland within the neck. It does not use ionizing radiation and is commonly used to evaluate lumps or nodules found during a routine physical or other imaging exam.

US neck soft tissue is a type of ultrasound imaging of the soft tissues in the neck. Soft tissues include the skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, blood vessels, lymph nodes, thyroid and parathyroid glands, salivary glands and other structures.

Obstetric ultrasound uses sound waves to produce pictures of a baby (embryo or fetus) within a pregnant woman, as well as the mother's uterus and ovaries. It does not use ionizing radiation, has no known harmful effects, and is the preferred method for monitoring pregnant women and their unborn babies.

During the first trimester of pregnancy (under 14 weeks), your doctor will often request an early obstetrical ultrasound, sometimes called a dating ultrasound. It's best performed at, or after, seven weeks and will confirm whether you are pregnant, as well as the number of babies you're expecting.

trasound of a pregnancy that is 14 weeks or greater requires a thorough understanding of fetal anatomy and physiology. Depending on the stage in pregnancy or the gestational age of the baby, ultrasound can provide amazing, helpful information for your physician as to the health and wellbeing of your pregnancy.

The role of ultrasonography in obstetric practice has continuously evolved since its introduction more than 40 years ago. Indeed, it is difficult to imagine a modern obstetric practice without access to the information provided by real-time ultrasound.
