During an ultrasound, a special device called a transducer is moved over the area of the body being examined. The transducer sends high-frequency sound waves into the body and captures the echoes that bounce back, creating images of the internal structures. You will lie down and the technologist will apply gel to your skin to help the transducer move smoothly over the surface. You may feel pressure from the transducer but it is usually painless. The technologist will observe the images on a screen and take several images from different angles. The total time of the scan varies depending on the type of ultrasound and the body part being examined.
