If you have been told that you need a vascular or diagnostic ultrasound test in Gainesville, TX, then you may want to learn more about this procedure and better understand why you need it. At North Texas Medical Center, we are here to help you. There are a few key points that you need to know more about ultrasound.

A vascular or diagnostic ultrasound test is usually used to get a closer look at your circulatory system and organs within the body. This could include your veins, your arteries, or even your heart. An ultrasound test is different from other types of diagnostic procedures because it does not require any radiation. Instead, an ultrasound test uses sound waves that pass through the patient’s body. 

A small device called an ultrasound probe is used, which gives off high-frequency sound waves.  You can’t hear these sound waves, but when they bounce off different parts of the body, they create “echoes” that are picked up by the probe and turned into a moving image.

An ultrasound scan uses high-frequency sound waves to make an image of a person’s internal body structures.  Doctors commonly use ultrasound to study a developing fetus (unborn baby), a person’s abdominal and pelvic organs, muscles and tendons, or their heart and blood vessels.
