Ultrasound

Ultrasound has been an indispensable tool in the field of diagnostic medical imaging. Ultrasound, as its name suggests, is simply high- frequency sound, unlike x-rays which are a form of radiation. Digestive CARE’s ultrasound technologists are members of the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) a society of highly skilled and credentialed professionals. Our Board Certified Radiologists work with your Gastroenterologist to review the studies and properly diagnose our patients. The SonoSite TITAN® Ultrasound system provides health care professionals with state of the art high-resolution imaging for responsive, rapid, patient care.

The use of Ultrasound has many benefits, including but not limited to:

• Performed in our Digestive CARE offices
• Reduced wait times as opposed to diagnostic tests in a hospital or diagnostic center
• Less costly than other imaging methods such as CT and MRI.
• The testing is non-invasive (no needles or injections) and painless.

Digestive CARE uses Ultrasound technology to diagnose a variety of ailments such as:

• Abnormal liver enzymes & liver diseases
• Abdominal pain
• Hepatitis A, B and C
• Esophageal Reflux
• Dyspepsia
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Gallbladder disease
• Pancreatitis
