Your doctor may order one of these tests that use ultrasound:
- Abdominal ultrasound – Looks at the organs and tissues in your belly
- Automated breast ultrasound – Screens for breast cancer in women with dense breast tissue
- Biopsy – Uses ultrasound imaging to help a doctor find the right spot in your body to take a sample of unusual tissue for testing in a lab

会发生什么
Learn what to expect before, during, and after your ultrasound exam.

Follow any instructions your care team gives you about changing your eating and drinking habits before the ultrasound.
在你做超声波的时候
You’ll likely lie on your back on an exam table. For most ultrasound exams, a technologist will:
- Spread a colorless, water-based gel on your skin
- Press a handheld wand to your skin and move it back and forth across a small area while taking pictures
Depending on what your doctor needs to see, you may instead receive an ultrasound test that places a probe inside your body:
- Transesophageal echocardiogram, which shows the back of the heart
- Transvaginal ultrasound, which looks at the ovaries, uterus, or other female pelvic organs
You can sometimes see your ultrasound images in real time during the exam. Most tests last 30 minutes to one hour.
考试之后
Return to your daily activities after most ultrasound appointments. If you had a sedative (relaxation medicine) before a transesophageal echocardiogram, you’ll receive special instructions for your recovery.
