Ultrasound

 Unlike x-rays which use radiation, ultrasound is a technology that uses sound waves (sonography) that produce images of internal organs, and, for pregnant women, the image of their fetus inside the uterus.  It is commonly used in gynecology to examine the ovaries to detect abnormalities, such as cysts or masses, and to examine the uterus and endometrial lining to diagnose the reason for abnormal menstrual bleeding.   Ob-Gyne Associates of Libertyville offers ultrasound testing for our patients at our Libertyville office.
