Ultrasound – A pelvic ultrasound uses sound waves to produce pictures of the structures and organs in the lower abdomen and pelvis. There are three types of pelvic ultrasounds: abdominal, vaginal (for women), and rectal (for men). These ultrasounds are frequently used to evaluate the reproductive and urinary systems. Ultrasounds are safe, […]
Ultrasound - A pregnancy ultrasound is a test that uses high-frequency sound waves to image the developing baby as well as the mother’s reproductive organs.

The nuchal translucency is the fluid found at the back of your baby’s head and neck, just beneath the skin. A nuchal translucency (NT) measurement is taken through a transvaginal or transabdominal ultrasound, measuring the thickness of this fluid. Normally the amount of fluid is small, producing a thin NT measurement. […]
Ultrasound – Abdominal ultrasounds use sound waves to produce pictures of the structures within the upper abdomen. It is used to help diagnose pain or distention and evaluate the kidneys, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen and abdominal aorta. An abdominal ultrasound is safe, noninvasive and does not use ionizing radiation. This procedure requires little […]

Ultrasound - A venous Doppler ultrasound is a test that uses high frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to measure the amount of blood flow through your arteries and veins, usually those that supply blood to your arms and legs. Vascular flow studies, also known as blood flow studies, can detect abnormal flow within an an artery or blood vessel. This can help to diagnose and treat a […]
Ultrasound - A breast ultrasound is an imaging technique commonly used to screen for tumors and other breast abnormalities.
