| Purpose: | This test provides an image of your pelvic region. The scan is safe and painless. There is no radiation involved. |

| Procedure: | This examination takes approximately 20 minutes. You may be asked to change into a gown and provide us with a brief history. You will then be placed on a stretcher and a water-based gel will be spread over your pelvic area. This gel helps to provide us with quality images. A plastic device called a transducer will be moved back and forth over your pelvis to obtain the images necessary to answer your physician’s questions. |
| After Care: | After the test, you may resume all normal activities. Your attending physician will discuss the results of your ultrasound examination with you.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact one of our technologists at (215) 662-3123. |
