An ultrasound scan, often called a sonogram, is a procedure that uses a probe to create high-frequency sound waves that produce a detailed image of the inside of the body. Ultrasound Imaging can be useful for monitoring unborn babies, diagnosing a condition, or guiding surgeons during certain procedures. No ionizing radiation is involved in the ultrasound process.
At Wilmington Health, we perform general and vascular ultrasounds within our Radiology department.
