Basically an ultrasound is prescribed when the woman has an acute discomfort in the lower abdomen.

The specialist performing the ultrasound Scan applies a water based gel over your pelvic or in the region where a specific organ is to be scanned located. Then our expert places a hand-held device named transducer/ probe on that region and moves it around, to detect the images of the organ. In some cases if the images are not clear the expert may repeat the process to acquire clearer image.

This Scan is absolutely safe, since an ultrasound Scan machine uses a simple low frequency sound wave that can penetrate your body, tissues and organ for imaging without any side effects or damage.

This Ultrasound imaging method also has certain limitations. Ultrasound cannot accurately diagnose the intestines and parts because the sound waves are obstructed by air and vapours. Ultrasound cannot travel through air. With ultrasound, the doctor can only see the outer surface of the bone, not the inside of the bone. In addition, ultrasound also limits the survey in overweight and obese people.
