Ultrasound Services

We are in the business of helping others. We offer high-quality imaging services with state- of-the-art technology. Most importantly, your results will be given to you before you leave our office.

Whole Breast

Ultrasound

Whole breast ultrasound is a supplementary screening technique that uses ultrasound to find small cancers in women with dense breast tissue. This is important because women with denser breast tissue have 4-6 times the risk of breast cancer. It is also more difficult to detect early cancer in dense breast tissue. Whole breast ultrasound has been shown to detect cancers in an additional 3 per 1,000 women with dense tissue.
If you have dense breast tissue, Imaging for Women recommends scheduling your whole breast ultrasound and screening mammogram on the same day once a year. Whole breast ultrasound exams must be ordred by your health care provider. Complete evaluation, recommendations, and results are discussed with you by our radiologists or their assistants before you leave the office. The report of your exam is issued to your healthcare provider typically within one hour of your exam.

General Ultrasound

Ultrasound uses sound waves to view structures within the body in real time. Ultrasound is a diagnostic exam and must be ordered by your health care provider. Complete evaluation, recommendations, and results are discussed with you by our radiologists before you leave the office. The report of your exam is issued to your healthcare provider typically within one hour of your exam.

Other ultrasounds pro-

vided at Imaging for

Women include thyroid,

renal, soft tissue,

carotid, and venous

doppler.

Diagnostic Breast

Ultrasound

Ultrasound imaging of the breast uses sound waves to produce pictures of the internal structures of the breast. This tool is primarily used to help diagnose breast lumps and abnormalities seen on mammography. Breast ultrasound is a diagnostic exam and must be ordered by your health care provider. A specially trained sonographer uses gel and a small probe called a transducer to capture real time images of the breast. Breast ultrasound is safe, painless, and requires no special preparation. Complete evaluation, recommendations, and results are discussed with you by our radiologists or their assistants before you leave the office. The report of your exam is issued to your healthcare provider typically within one hour of your exam.
An abdominal ultrasound evaluates structures such as the kidneys, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and spleen, inside the abdomen. Please do not eat after midnight if you have a morning appointment. If you have an afternoon appointment, nothing to eat or drink 4 hours before the exam. Sips of water to take medicine is okay.

Abdominal Ultrasound

Imaging for Women performs both diagnostic and 20-week anatomy screening obstetrical ultrasounds. You will be given the appropriate preparation for your exam when scheduling the appointment.

Obstetrical

Ultrasound

Sonohystogram, or SHG, uses sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the uterus. This exam is performed similar to a gynecologic exam and involves the insertion of the transducer into the vagina. Using a small tube inserted into the vagina, the doctor will inject a small amount of sterile saline into the cavity of the uterus and study the lining of the uterus using the ultrasound transducer. Sonohystogram are performed one week after menstruation to avoid the risk of infection. It may be helpful to take an over-the-counter pain reliever as discomfort similar to menstrual cramping is common after the exam.

Sonohystogram

Ultrasound

Pelvic and transvaginal ultrasounds are diagnostic exams used to evaluate structures within the pelvis, including the uterus, cervix, vagina, fallopian tubes and ovaries. For a pelvic ultrasound, please drink 32 oz of water one hour prior to your appointment time. There is no special preparation for a transvaginal ultrasound.
