During your ultrasound, you recline on a treatment table. You either adjust your clothing or wear a hospital gown if needed to allow your technician to access the part of your body that needs to be checked. Your technician applies a clear gel to your skin, which helps the transducer wand glide smoothly and improves the way the sound waves move through your skin.
Your radiologist studies the images as they appear on a video screen in the treatment room, and pictures and videos are recorded for later use and diagnosis.
Ultrasound appointments usually last 30-60 minutes. You can return to your regular activities as soon as your ultrasound is complete.
