Ultrasound
Ultrasound scans provide an image of organs and body parts using sound vibrations.
Helping and preparing your child
During treatment, your child will have many tests and procedures. A child life specialist helps your child, and you, prepare for these.
Your child lies on an examination table, usually on their back, sometimes on their side. The ultrasound technician, called a sonographer, applies a lubricating gel to the area that is to be examined and then rubs the ultrasound transducer on the lubricated skin. Black and white film images appear on a screen. In most instances, a radiologist will come along to view the images. Ultrasounds take about 45 minutes.
