How does ultrasound scanning work?
Ultrasound scanning uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the body's internal structures. A handheld device called a transducer emits sound waves that bounce back from tissues and organs. The echoes are then converted into real-time images displayed on a monitor. This safe, non-invasive procedure is commonly used for applications like prenatal monitoring and assessing organs.
Why do I need an Ultrasound scan?
You may need an ultrasound scan for several reasons. If you’re pregnant, it helps monitor your baby's development and check for any potential issues. If you're experiencing abdominal pain or discomfort, an ultrasound can provide insights into your organs and detect any abnormalities. Additionally, it’s useful for assessing soft tissue conditions, such as injuries or infections in muscles and joints. Overall, an ultrasound scan is a safe and effective way to get a clearer picture of your health and guide your treatment.
What is the difference between an external and internal ultrasound??
An external ultrasound involves placing a transducer on your skin, usually on the abdomen, to capture images of your internal organs. It’s non-invasive and commonly used for pregnancy monitoring or abdominal examinations. In contrast, an internal ultrasound requires a small transducer to be inserted into the body, typically through the vaginal or rectal area. This method provides clearer images of structures like the uterus or prostate. Your healthcare provider will recommend the best option based on your specific needs.
