What Ultrasounds Are

Onpoint Sonography Inc is one of the least invasive and most widely used diagnostic medical tools available. Compared to other procedures, an ultrasound study generally involves no discomfort and requires very little patient preparation. Ultrasound transmits safe, non-invasive, ultra-high frequency sound waves and creates an image from the resulting echoes. These echoes are recorded, processed, and displayed on a screen by a computer. Unlike X-ray, ultrasound does not require the use of radiation, and it does not focus on bone structures. Rather, ultrasound is used to study internal organs, such as the heart, liver, uterus, ovaries, blood vessels, and other soft tissue structures.

What You Can Expect During Your Ultrasound

During your ultrasound exam, our Sonographer will position you on an exam table, apply a topical gel to the skin (this helps to improve the quality of the images), and pass the transducer several times over the area to be examined.

 

Depending on the type of study being performed, you may be required to remain motionless, change positions and/or hold your breath.

Who Conducts Your Ultrasound

The person who will perform your exam is a medical professional known as a Sonographer. Our Sonographers are some of the most highly trained and experienced professionals in the country. Each Sonographer is certified by the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers (ARDMS®).

How You Get Results

A full report detailing the findings and interpretation of the results will be provided to your physician. For compliance reasons, our Sonographers cannot discuss the study findings with you until your physician has the final report. Your physician will discuss the ultrasound findings with you after reviewing the final diagnostic report.

Where the Exam Will Take Place

Your ultrasound will be performed right in the comfort of your physician’s office. Onpoint Sonography Inc‘s on-site service means convenience for you.
