What to Expect During Your Ultrasound?

A certified sonographer conducts the USG by applying gel to the skin. Then, a handheld device called a transducer scans the area. The probe emits sound waves that bounce off internal structures, creating images on a nearby screen. The procedure is painless and typically takes 15-30 minutes. The results are quick and reliable.

Prepare for Ultrasound

Preparation depends on the type of ultrasound. Fasting is recommended for abdominal scans. Our team will guide you in advance to ensure a smooth experience. For children, our caring team makes every scan comfortable and stress-free. Parents can stay with their children throughout the procedure.
