Ultrasound imaging is a painless procedure. It does not use x-rays or any other type of ionising radiation to produce an image. It is non-invasive. It can be used safely during pregnancy. Ultrasound provides real time imaging, making it a good tool for guiding some invasive procedures such as needle biopsies. Ultrasound can visualise movement and function and therefore can examine blood vessels and blood flow to different organs.

Ultrasound technology uses high frequency sound waves. The waves bounce off tissue and return to the ultrasound machine at different frequencies, depending on the density of the tissue. Our ultrasound machine is a highly specialized computer that translates the returning sound waves into images for viewing on its computer monitor. Our machine is an FDA approved ultrasound machine.

Ultrasound imaging, also called an ultrasound scan or sonography, is a method of obtaining images from different organs inside the body. It involves sending very high frequency sound waves via a hand held probe on your skin through the body. These sound waves are reflected off your internal organs. The reflections bounce back to the probe and the computer aprt of the machine creates an image of the organs. Ultrasound images are captured in real time and displayed on a television monitor.

Ultrasound waves have difficulty penetrating bone and air so organs such as the lungs cannot be scanned. The stomach and bowel are best examined in other ways such as x-rays or by having cameras inserted into them. See similar questions...

No. 3D and 4D ultrasound both utilize sound waves to look inside the body. The technology is similar to radar. A probe placed on the body emits sound waves into the body, listens for the return echo and generates an image. There is no evidence to suggest that ultrasound presents any risk to the mother and baby. See similar questions...

You may or may not benefit from being in a research study. No one can tell for sure. There are risks and side effects in virtually any clinical trial. Ask the research staff about the specific risks and side effects in the study you are interested in. See similar questions...

part of your initial consultation, your physician will review your expectations for surgery. At that time, he can provide a realistic picture of what surgery can and cannot accomplish. Depending on which procedures you are interested in, we will provide you with a list of risks reported in the medical literature associated with procedures you are considering. Although risks from cosmetic surgery are uncommon, every patient should be fully informed of the risks associated with surgery. See similar questions...

Breast ultrasound is also used as an adjunctive tool with mammography. Breast ultrasound can be particularly useful to characterize lesions, such as determining solid versus cystic (fluid filled) masses. However, ultrasound's sensitivity is limited by tumor size. Ultrasound detection of tumors smaller than 1 cm in size may be difficult. However, detection of small breast tumors is extremely important because that is when treatment is most effective.

Wee See Imaging offers different packages. The amount of weeks pregnant you are depends on how you can view your baby. The earliest to determine the baby sex is 16 weeks. Babies have a more skeletal appearance from 16 to 24 weeks in utero, with the 3d and 4d images. However, your are able to view more of your baby on the ultrasound monitor and witness the amazing development already underway because the baby is smaller at that time. See similar questions...

ultrasound test is a radiology technique, which uses high- frequency sound waves to produce images of the organs and structures of the body. The sound waves are sent through body tissues with a device called a transducer. The transducer is placed directly on top of the skin, which has a gel applied to the surface. The sound waves that are sent by the transducer through the body are then reflected by internal structures as "echoes. See similar questions...

Extensive research has been conducted on the use of ultrasound during pregnancy. Ultrasounds have been proven to increase the bonding between Mom and her baby and to produce improvements in the baby's health and size at birth. Mom's who have "seen" their babies feel more connected to them and have a stronger sense of well-being/reassurance about their pregnancies. See similar questions...

The protective benefits of UV radiation are undeniable. Warnings about limited and sensible exposure to the sun or UV radiation are exaggerated. Several researchers, most notably Dr. William Grant, have published peer-reviewed articles demonstrating that in America, for example, increased sun exposure would result in 185,000 fewer cases of internal cancer and 30,000 fewer deaths from cancer of the breast, ovaries, colon, prostate, bladder, uterus, esophagus, rectum and stomach.

D BabyVision Fetal Imaging requests that you have the results of your routine 18-20 week ultrasound, which is required by your health care provider for diagnostic purposes, before your first 3D BabyVision Fetal Imaging session. Images are obtained between 20-36 weeks of pregnancy. Up to 24 weeks gestation, your baby is likely to be so small that the entire body will appear within the image frame at once.
