The ultrasound transducer is a small hand-held instrument that is placed against your child’s body and slowly passed over the area to be examined. Warm gel is applied for better imaging. Ultrasound images are obtained by our trained pediatric sonographers. Often, our physicians will perform ultrasound imaging after the sonographers to obtain additional images or see structures in real-time.

Our ultrasound equipment has been specifically developed and chosen for pediatric patients. Our cutting-edge equipment consists of real-time scanners, all with Doppler and color-flow Doppler capability. We have special small transducer with higher frequency to better visualize smaller structures within smaller patients.

Providing proper imaging for a child can be challenging. Parents may remain with their child throughout the ultrasound examination. Our experienced and compassionate staff understands how to work with children and put them at ease.
