An ultrasound scan, also known as sonography, is a medical test that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of structures inside of your body. These images can provide valuable information to diagnose and treat numerous diseases and conditions. The image produced is called a sonogram. Â
Ultrasound scans are commonly associated with pregnancy as they are often used to view the uterus and ovaries during pregnancy, providing an expectant mother with the first view of her unborn child. The scans can also be used to monitor the health of the developing baby. However, an ultrasound scan can be used for many reasons, including:
Assess blood flow
Diagnose problems with muscles, soft tissues, and blood vessels
Diagnose gallbladder disease
Check your thyroid gland, liver, kidneys, and pancreas
Examine a breast lump
Evaluate joint inflammation
Detect prostate and genital problems
Examine metabolic bone disease
Investigate a tennis elbow, frozen shoulder, or carpal tunnel syndrome
Guide surgeons’ movements during certain medical procedures, such as tumor treatment or biopsy.Â
You can return to your normal activities, including work, immediately after an ultrasound scan. However, if you have an internal ultrasound scan that involves the use of anesthetic and sedative, you should wait about 24 hours until you are allowed to go back to your normal activities.
The success and accuracy rate of an ultrasound scan depends on what it is used for. It should be 100% accurate in detecting a fetal heartbeat. However, it may not be always accurate for other uses.Â
Ultrasound scan is very safe and there are no know risks from the sound waves used in the procedure. Unlike some other scans, such as CT scans, ultrasound scans do not involve exposure to radiation.Â
If you are undergoing an internal scan and are allergic to latex, make sure to let the sonographer know so they can use a latex-free probe cover.Â
