Explore our diagnostic imaging services
MMI provides general ultrasound services for both adult and pediatric patients. Exam preparation may vary depending on the type of ultrasound being performed.
General ultrasound imaging, also known as diagnostic sonography, uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of internal organs and soft tissues. Ultrasound exams help physicians assess the structure and appearance of organs and identify potential abnormalities without the use of ionizing radiation.
Because ultrasound does not use radiation, it is considered a safe imaging option with no known side effects and is suitable for patients of all ages.
When you arrive at MMI for your ultrasound appointment, you will be asked to change into an examination gown and lie comfortably on an exam table. A trained ultrasound technologist will apply a warm gel to the area being examined and gently move a handheld device called a transducer over your skin to capture images.
The exam is painless, noninvasive, and typically completed within a short period of time, depending on the area being evaluated.
