HOW IT IS DONE ?

Ultrasound scanning is done by the top of the line equipment which consists of a console containing a computer & electronics, a video display screen & a transducer that is used to scan the body . The patient lies on a table with the abdominal area exposed. The radiologist spreads a lubricating gel on the patient abdomen in the area being examined & then presses the transducer firmly against the skin to obtain images. The ultrasound image is immediately visible on a nearby screen & radiologist watches this screen during the movement on transducer over the skin surface by the radiologist ; Often, the patient is also able to see the screen as well. When the examination is complete, the patient is asked to dress & wait while the ultrasound images are reviewed on film.
