How Ultrasound Helps Your Provider Decide What Comes Next

When you’re experiencing pain, swelling, or other unexplained symptoms, your healthcare provider may recommend an ultrasound to get a clearer picture of what is happening inside your

body.

Ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of tissues and organs. Unlike an X-ray, ultrasound does not use radiation, making it safe for all patients, including during pregnancy.

Turning Symptoms Into Useful Information

Symptoms can tell your provider that something may be wrong, but diagnostic imaging can provide additional information to help determine what may be causing them. Ultrasound can help physicians evaluate symptoms such as pain and swelling, as well as disease.

Ultrasound may also be used to evaluate how well a treatment or therapy is working. The images and findings from your exam can give your healthcare provider valuable information as they determine what should happen next in your care.
