Benefits of Ultrasound

Ultrasounds have many advantages, they are usually painless and do not require needles, injections or incisions. Patients are not exposed to ionizing radiation, which makes the procedure safer than diagnostic techniques such as X-rays and CT scans. In fact, there are no known harmful effects when used as directed by your healthcare provider. Ultrasound can capture soft tissue images that don't show up well on X-rays. Ultrasound is widely available and less expensive than other methods.
