By your side during your ultrasound.
Ultrasound tests use sound waves to produce images of the body that help physicians to evaluate the abdomen, pelvis, gall bladder and other structures. Doppler ultrasound can evaluate blood flow and obstructions of arteries and veins. Obstetrical ultrasound studies are performed to monitor the developing infant in the uterus.
