Ultrasound imaging, or diagnostic sonography, is offered at all our Insight Medical Imagining locations through Alberta. Using non-invasive sound waves instead of radiation, Ultrasound imagining is used to assess body structures. A sonographer uses an ultrasound transducer to generate sound waves that detect echoes produced in the body. A computer interprets the echo and provided detailed images for the radiologist, who will review the results and send a detailed report to your doctor.
