An imaging ultrasound is a simple, safe and routine procedure using very high frequency (ultrasonic) sound waves to "look inside" the body. Arrange to have the procedure and show up. In the exam room the sonographer will apply a gel to 1) aid in the conduction of the ultrasonic signal from the wand to the skin and 2) lubricate the skin to make it easier to slide the probe around. It doesn't hurt (but the gel may be cold). The ultrasonic probe will be placed on the skin and slid around while the sonographer looks at imaging results. Maneuvering the probe permits different "views" of a given area of interest. The interpretation of the displayed images is the real meat and potatoes of sonography. It is not uncommon for a sonographer to get another medical staffer or a physician to look at image data and assist with interpretation. It's a good procedure, but it has a few limitations. One could ask about them, because a key to getting the most out of the experience is to ask thoughtful questions. If answers are unclear, say so. Some clinics permit bringing along a friend or family member and having that person present. You already know who you want to bring. Someone smart who can help with questions or their answers as well as hold your hand or your coat.
