Ultrasound Procedures in Keller, TX

Ultrasound Procedures in Keller, TXUltrasound, also known as sonography, is a painless, radiation-free way for doctors to view organs and soft tissues. It is most often associated with monitoring fetal development, but ultrasound is also a very effective diagnostic tool.

During the ultrasound procedure, a transducer emits high-frequency sound waves that echo off of your organs and soft tissues. These echoes are interpreted by a computer that creates an image to be analyzed by a doctor or technician.
