How is the ultrasound examination done?
First you lie back and relax on our electrically adjustable ultrasound couch. Clear, warmed gel is placed onto your abdomen – the gel is water-based, harmless and won’t damage your clothing. The gel is a couplant that enables the sound waves from the transducer to pass into your abdomen. The operator then places the ultrasound transducer on the gel and directs it towards your pelvis. When the scan is performed in this way it is called Transabdominal Scanning.
