Ultrasound

Your Exam - Ultrasound

An ultrasound exam is a safe diagnostic procedure that uses very-high-frequency sound waves to produce an image of many of the internal structures of the body. Originally developed in the late 1950's, over the years the machines have become better and better, resulting in images of outstanding detail and clarity. DRC provides state of the art ultrasound machines at most of its imaging locations. As the results of ultrasound exams are very much dependent on the skill of the operator, DRC employs the best technologists with extensive ultrasound training to perform these exams.
