How Our Ultrasound Process Works
We aim to make the ultrasound experience as smooth and comfortable as possible. Here’s what you can expect when you come in for a diagnostic ultrasound in Tucker:
- Preparation: Depending on the type of ultrasound, you may need to follow specific preparation instructions. For example, some exams require a full bladder, while others may ask you to refrain from eating beforehand.
- The Procedure: Once in the exam room, a trained sonographer will apply a water-based gel to the area being examined. The gel helps the ultrasound device make secure contact with the skin for clear imaging. The sonographer then uses a small handheld probe (transducer) to capture images by moving it gently over the skin.
- Real-Time Imaging: Ultrasounds provide real-time imaging, allowing the sonographer to capture multiple angles and views. This instant imaging makes it especially valuable for urgent care with ultrasound in Tucker.
- Review and Follow-Up: Once the exam is complete, your ultrasound images are reviewed by a radiologist who will work with your healthcare provider to interpret the findings. You’ll receive a detailed report of the results, typically within a short timeframe, to guide any necessary follow-up care.
