Ultasounds, X-Rays, EKGs

Ultrasound scans, or sonography, are safe because they use sound waves or echoes to make an image, instead of radiation.Ultrasound scans are used to evaluate fetal development, and they can detect problems in the liver, heart, kidney, or abdomen. They may also assist in performing certain types of biopsy.The image produced is called a sonogram.

X–rays are a type of radiation called electromagnetic waves. X–ray imaging creates pictures of the inside of your body. The images show the parts of your body in different shades of black and white. This is because different tissues absorb different amounts of radiation.

An EKG is a paper or digital recording of the electrical signals in the heart. It is also called an electrocardiogram or an ECG. The EKG is used to determine heart rate, heart rhythm and other information regarding the heart’s condition.
