What to expect

  • Most ultrasound examinations are simple, painless and quick.
  • Very few ultrasound examinations require any advance preparation. By clicking on exam preparation, you will be able to check whether you need to do anything before you arrive at the clinic.
  • Depending on the type of ultrasound examination your practitioner has ordered, you may be asked to change into a gown. You will then be positioned on the examination table.
  • The sonographer or radiologist will apply some warm, water-based gel on your skin and place the transducer firmly against your body, moving it back and forth until the desired images are captured.
  • The radiologist will provide a complete report to your practitioner, usually within 24 hours.
