How long is the test?
An ultrasound exam takes on average 15-30 minutes.
What happens during the test?
During an ultrasound exam, you usually lie on an examination table. A small amount of gel is applied to your skin. The gel helps eliminate the formation of air pockets between the ultrasound and your body. A Sonographer the presses a small hand-held device (transducer), about the size of a bar of soap, against your skin over the area of your body being examined, moving from one area to another as necessary. The transducer generates and receives high-frequency sound waves that are sent to a computer, which composes detailed images based on the patterns created by the sound waves.
Ultrasound is usually a painless procedure. However, you may experience some mild discomfort as the sonographer guides the transducer over your body, especially if you’re required to have a full bladder.
Sometimes, ultrasounds are done inside your body. In this case, the transducer is attached to a probe that’s inserted into a natural opening in your body.
What happens after the test?
Once test is completed, you may return to your normal activities.
