Image Gently and Ultrasound - Parent information

What is Ultrasound?

Ultrasound examinations use sound waves to look inside the body.
There is no ionizing radiation used.
In most Ultrasound examinations, no contrast is given.

What can I expect the Ultrasound Examination to be like?

In most cases, your child will be examined while lying down quietly.
A thin gel will be applied to the area to be examined.
The Ultrasound probe or wand is placed on the skin and images are taken.
