Ultrasound
An ultrasound is used to create images of soft tissue structures, such as the gall bladder, liver, heart, kidney, female reproductive organs, and babies still in the womb. Ultrasound can also detect blockages in the blood vessels.

A vascular ultrasound is a non-invasive method used to examine blood circulation. During a vascular ultrasound, sound waves are transmitted through the tissues of the area being examined. These sound waves reflect off blood cells moving within the blood vessels, allowing the radiologist to calculate their speed. The sound waves are recorded and displayed on a computer screen.

The ultrasound test is performed by specially trained technologists and interpreted by a Holzer Clinic board-certified radiologist. The test is virtually painless and only takes about 45 minutes to complete.
