Ultrasound, also referred to as ultrasonography or USG, constitutes a non-invasive medical imaging method that utilizes high-frequency sound waves to generate dynamic images of internal body structures. This adaptable diagnostic technology is frequently utilized for visualizing organs, tissues, and blood flow, contributing to the identification and tracking of diverse medical conditions. USG finds extensive application in obstetrics for fetal imaging and in evaluating abdominal, pelvic, cardiac, and musculoskeletal structures. It furnishes valuable insights without subjecting individuals to radiation, providing a secure and efficient approach for acquiring diagnostic information across various medical disciplines.

The duration of an ultrasound test may change depending on the area being examined and the purpose. Generally, an ultrasound test takes between 15 to 60 minutes. However, some specialized or complex scans may take longer. Your doctor or sonographer will inform you about the estimated duration of your ultrasound test.
Generally, you can eat and drink as usual before the procedure. However, if you are having an abdominal ultrasound, your healthcare provider may recommend avoiding heavy meals a few hours before the test so that it won’t affect the image quality. It's always best to follow any specific instructions given by your healthcare provider regarding eating or drinking before the ultrasound.
Ultrasound may not be able to detect all types of conditions or abnormalities. Ultrasound is particularly useful for visualizing soft tissues and organs, like the liver, uterus, and kidneys. It can help detect abnormalities like cysts, tumors, or fluid collections. However, certain conditions, especially those related to bones or air-filled structures, may require other imaging tests such as X-rays or CT scans for a more comprehensive evaluation. Your doctor will help determine the most suitable imaging technique based on the condition.
